- Closer look of the Kodiak Canvas Tent with the optional Top Cover installed. This tent roof topper cover adds more weatherproof protection from the elements, protects against pine tree stains and creates a layer of air above the rooftop, helping to retain heat within the canvas tent. While allowing the 2 side vents near the roof top edge to ventilate out any propane gas vapors. The Kodiak Cover Top accessory is a great upgrade for your Kodiak Flex-Bow canvas tent. Enhance top cover option that functions great and available in all Flex-Bow tent sizes.

ABOUT: A great option, worthy of the investment, to complete an all-weather Kodiak Canvas Tent set up. Great for longer stays in the wild outdoors. This was my first time using the weather top cover and it performed great. A 3-day rainstorm filled three 5-gallon buckets of rainwater but no problems staying dry with the Kodiak tent. Highly recommend this optional roof cover. Especially if inclement weather is a possibility during your camping trip.

The tent is already water proof. I’ve been in severe thunderstorms where it dumped hale for 4 hrs straight and rained hard all day and night. Zero issues with the tent staying dry. What’s the point of this?
Agree on water proofness, in over 6 years of use at 50+ nights per year, I've never had my Kodiak Canvas tent leak in all kinds of rain, inclement weather.
The Topper Cover provides additional protection from tree sap, pine needles etc staining your roof top canvas. Also, provides an extra layer, creating an air pocket above the rooftop which aids in reducing heat loss if tent is heated with propane or other type heater. Especially nice in cold, frigid or snowy conditions.
Have you tried the roof cover in the wind?If so does it flap loudly?
Yes. 3x had the tent & roof cover-topper in heavy weather conditions. Winds of 25mph sustained, gusts over 40mph. Heavy rain, even snow conditions. The tight fit of the topper, along with tie downs on each side, are very secure with NO flopping, flapping or movement. Now for snow, I did have a heavy Poly tarp set over my entire tent-awning-topper set up. Easier to brush, sweep off snow on the poly tarp. Poly tarp also provides another air layer, adding to retention of heat inside the tent.
I have the smallest version, the two man tent, with the topper and it flapped like crazy with some good winds in the 20-30 sustained for about 8 hours. At one point I crawled out and tied all the grommets out but it didn't slow it down much. This wasn't a structural problem, it was just a keeping me awake with the noise problem. I had to remove it for the night. The topper really helps with condensation on wet/damp nights, with the roof of the tent dry it can still breathe, but in heavy winds that's usually not so much of an issue. My wife bought me the 10x14 and I'm here looking at that wing vestibule option but saw the comment and figured I'd reply. I'll be buying this topper for the 10x14 as well but I'll remove it when it's windy.
not my experience with using my 10x10 size. I've used it through now 4 windstorms and no problems. The last storm, I corded the top grommets to stakes in the ground, the wind was so bad.
The Kodiak Cover Top for the 10x10 that I have fits very tightly at all 4 corners using the flex cross poles. So much that it's a bit difficult to install the Cover Top corners. Being that the Cover Top comes in 4 sizes, which of the 2 smaller sizes (8.5x6, 9x8) did you use?
@@MavHntr I've got the 8.5x6 and it's an awesome little guy for sure. The top fits tightly just like you said, it actually took me about an hour to get it over the spring poles because I just couldn't get that last half inch installed. Once it stretched it's a little easier now. But yes even with the grommets tied down it would flop randomly all night, wind had switched and was coming from the side scooping which didn't help. The windy side was fine, it was the downwind side that would flop even with all three grommets guy'd out, the in-between section would pop up and down. I'm about to buy this for the 10x14 because I love it for preventing condensation when the canvas wets out, but I have other specialty tents for windy conditions so don't plan to use the 10x14 in anything windy if I can help it.
You could get a piece of plastic or even a wooden dowl like 4 inch long and put it under between the topper and tent roof, or even a folded towel or something
