GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR NEW TENT

Please read this information carefully. It gives you useful tips on how to erect, use and care for your tent, helping you to get the best

out of it.

BEFORE YOU PITCH YOU TENT:

• Look carefully at the tent diagram. It shows you how your tent should look when erected.

• Read the assembly instructions carefully before you pitch your tent for the rst time.

• Check whether you have all the parts and that they are not damaged in any way.

WHEN PITCHING YOUR TENT:

Poles

• Inserting poles: Do not force the poles into or through the pole sleeves. You should not push longer poles into the sleeves, but

instead push the material onto the pole. Do this by gathering small lengths of the sleeve and gradually feeding it onto the pole.

• Positioning poles: Push the poles into an arch, if possible while still at on the ground.

• With tents with diagonal poles, form the rst arch at on the ground and then form the second arch while the centre of the pole is

being held upright. You may need some help for this. This is particularly the case with longer poles and larger tents.

• With 3-pole geodesic tent designs, push the shorter pole into an arch rst.

• If you have problems getting the ends of the arched poles to t the eyelets in the pole anchor straps or ring and pin system, please

check along the length of the pole sleeves: sometimes snagging can occur, particularly at pole joints.

Tent Material - Tension

• Tension bands and ysheet adjuster straps should be fully loosened while erecting the tent.

• Tension bands, guy lines and tent material should not be over tightened as this strains and damages seams, doorways, pegging

points and zips. The tent material could also rip in strong winds.

• Nylon tent material slackens when wet. If the material is likely to dry out quickly, e.g. after a rain shower in warm weather, then do

not re-tighten and guy lines etc. The material will re-tighten naturally while it dries.

Tent pegs

• Pegs give the best hold when pegged into the ground at an angle, ideally 45°. They should be in line with the tent seams. Pegging

points on the ysheet should not be over tightened.

• Ring-and-Pin System: Insert the pin into the metal ferrule on one end of the pole. Holding the pole at the other end, bend it into an

arch and then insert the pin into the ferrule as with the rst end. Fix the poles by pegging through the ring into the ground, ideally

at 45°, in order to obtain max. hold.

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR TENT ON HOLIDAY

Pitch your tent at home rst. This helps familiarise you with the various parts and how to erect your tent and is extremely useful, espe-

cially if you then have to pitch your tent in bad weather conditions or in the dark.

CARE OF YOUR TENT

• Pitching: Find a suitable, well drained pitch and remove any sharp objects which may damage your groundsheet. Avoid areas prone

to ooding. Pitch with doorways facing away from the wind. Do not pitch under trees as these drip long after rain has stopped and

also pose the threat of falling branches in high winds.

• Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight may weaken and fade the material, making it brittle. However, with careful use your

tent should last for many years. Avoid leaving your tent pitched in strong sunlight for long periods.

• Rain: Do not touch the inside of wet tent material as this causes water seepage through the material.

• Zips: Never force zips closed. All zips should be closed while the tent is being erected.

• Fire: Tent material and re don’t get along! Tent material is highly inammable. Keep away from naked ames. Never use camping

stoves inside the tent.

• Condensation: All tents are prone to condensation when the air inside is warmer than the air outside. Keep vents in the ysheet open

and doors partially open to increase ventilation and thus reduce condensation.

• Packing Up: All the adjustment straps on poles and pegging points should be loosened before dismantling your tent. This makes it

easier to pitch and tension the tent next time.

• When folding, unzip doorways rst and then fold towards the doorways to release trapped air. Do not pull poles out of the sleeves

as shock corded poles could come apart inside the sleeves. Push the poles through and gradually pull short lengths of material off

the poles.

• Ideally, tents should be packed up when dry. If your tent is wet, dry it thoroughly before long term storage.

• Inner and outer tents should be packed separately if the inside of the ysheet is wet from condensation.

• Dirt and stains should be removed before long term storage. Use a mild soap solution. Never use detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

How do I impregnate a tent? Verified

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed.

Can I repair a tear or hole in the canvas of my tent myself? Verified

There are special pieces of self-adhesive patches of cloth available for synthetic tent canvases. Stick one of these patches on both sides of the hole or tear. For cotton tent canvases or mixed material tent canvases it's best to use patches that can be ironed on. This will require an iron.

The impregnation agent leaves white stains or a white haze on the tent cloth, what can I do about this? Verified

If the agent leaves a white haze or white stains on the tent cloth, this means you have applied more impregnation agent on those areas. This is not harmful and the stains often disappear over time. It is not advisable to use less impregnation agent to prevent stains. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent to give good results.
