your tent has no walls - surely this is a pocket roof you have purchased

"Walls" is an archaic term which used to be used to be used to describe vertical sections of "wall" along the length of a ridge tent, making much more of the width usable. My first (green, waxed canvas) tent was 6x4x3 with approx. 10" "walls", making it quite useable for two teenage boysfor up to a weeks camping. because of financial constraints, I had to choose between having a sewn in ground sheet, or a fly sheet. Given Welsh and Lake district weather, I chose the fly sheet. It made for a nice extended porch when deployed in fine weather in front of the tent. Wall-less tents are called "pup" tents over here. Hope you enjoy your find, but you will have to crawl to get in and out, and probably have to go in forwards and come out backwards, because there's no room to turn around

Update - seems there is still a whole genre of canvas tents over here called "Wall tents" - much bigger and more expensive than I had in mind. Examples at:

Pics of erected tent....

Wonder how it would hold up after a dowsing in fabsil ? Materiel is more cotton than canvas.

Wonder if its worth a few bob to retro campers ????

Packed away...

i have just bought a goodall elite rambler tent which is basically a two person ridge tent ,i think it is old as the only logo on it is on the bag however there may be one on the tent as i have not had a look for one yet i bought the tent from a charity shop for £3.50 which i think is a steal it has one pole at each end with a long one consisting of three individual poles in the middle there are a few tears on the ground sheet and one on the front canopy do you have any idea of how i can fix it
thanks

If it's the same color as mine? I'd just use some jaffa tape (duck tape but orange)

Hi wild
like chisleller said you can use the every universal duct tape to fix
or you could try this stuff
http://www.canvastentshop.co.uk/products/canvas-care/storm-tear-aid-fabric-repair-kit.aspx
Just order some to go with my repair kit (just in case)
a quick search says you can get it cheaper from Amazon/ebay
