The new Darkrooms

Got a question for someone that owns both the old darkroom and the new.
Is the canvas that much stronger than what was on the old ones?

Are you asking for a tensile strength test?
:)
I haven't seen the new DRs but my silver HydroHut fabric seems noticeably tougher than my DR120.
But I haven't done a tensile strength test.

well if you own a hydrohut... then you know how much stronger the fabric is than the stuff used on a darkroom! I own a dr120 and its ok.. i am looking to add a small tent and was looking at the dr80.. but they stopped making it and the new dr90 is close to that size. However, some stores still have the old 80s in stock but if the new "fabric" is MUCH better i will just go with the new 90 and MAKE it work for my spot. Im real tight on vertical space and the 80 was 5'3 and the new ones are 5,11. oh well... If hydro hut made a "Short" tent.. i would be all over it. Hydro huts are a much better product. IMHO

Yeah, the main reason I decided on using the HydroHut was the confidence to hang a bunch of weight from the ceiling. Another reason is: I figured the fabric is more fire resistant than the original DR series.
