The best way is to buy flame-retardant fabric and make the tent from that.
Of course, that is more expensive and you have to be careful when
handling the material (i.e., don't handle the material and then rub your
eyes, etc.). Barring that you can treat the finished product in the same
chemical. It can be had from a theatrical supply house, you would have to
check the phone book, there are a few in the DC Metro area. It is sold by
the gallon it think, something like $20-$30, I am not sure.
