Why buy a Steril ?

Steril originated the idea of supporting the canvas top by means of a folding frame. We combined the strength and rigidity of aluminum tubing with the toughness and flexibility of hickory.  Using these materials eliminated the need for interior poles and made every square foot of overhead coverage useable.

Every single Steril Chapel Tent is still constructed with our unique folding anodized aluminum frame.  This frame makes the tent easy to store, easy to handle, and a snap to erect.  We've been trying to beat this design since 1924, and haven't yet.  The Folks who put up our tents day in and day out swear by them, not at them.

Custom Built

Each Steril Chapel Tent is still custom made.  We will tailor your tent to your specific needs.  Each of our customers has their own unique set of needs.  Difference in climate, terrain, and taste vary widely among our customers.   We've made hundreds of fabric colors and patterns available, so you can order the product that will serve your needs for decades. 

Hillside Set-Up

Any size Steril Chapel Tent can be erected on a hillside using the standard equipment as furnished with the tent.  For more severe gradients, we can send you longer steel corner stakes.  Steril Chapel Tents are in service from Coast to Coast, in climates as varied as Appalachia to the prairies of North Dakota.
