Development of the First Wagons<\/h2>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2015<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We started in February, 2015, when we were building a glamping resort in Idaho. We needed tents and wagons but couldn\u2019t find anyone to build them quickly, so why not build our own wagons?
We began partnering with Montana Canvas, which develops the durable canvas used in our Wagons. In five short months, we already had 15 wagons.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

2017<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We were getting busy selling more wagons, and we needed help fulfilling our orders.
So, we partnered with an Amish production team in Shipshewana, Indiana, to help us fulfill orders by building wheels for our wagons.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

evolution of the wagon canopy <\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

2018-2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The production and quality of our wagons were evolving – we introduced the double canopy with airspace between, each canvas to provide superior insulation, material durability and product longevity. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n

2021<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our wagons, with the inner poly-blend canvas, were refined with a fully vinyl outer canvas layer, making it easier to clean and more durable, even in tough weather like winter, hurricanes, and hailstorms! <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Additionally, the Indiana shop began developing doors and our Shower House models, along with our wheels, so our products could be strategically built in a central U.S. location. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
