Again, this is especially true with (fairly) new tent foils. If the tent is in use for a few months and it has
rained regularly, then this problem will not occur again.
5. You can use the SunnyTent for all kinds of
applications
. The most common / known applications are
the covering of a swimming pool, sandpit, trampoline and vegetable garden. However, the SunnyTent is
sometimes also used for the temporary storage of products that must remain dry. Please ensure that
there is adequate ventilation so that mould does not appear on the stored items.
6. If you use an automatic
lawn mower
(robot), you must ensure that it cannot collide with the SunnyTent.
This is to prevent damage.
7. You can close the SunnyTent completely, fully
open
it or partially open it.

safety guidelines

With a low wind speed (expected),
maximum wind force 3 Bft., you can leave
the SunnyTent partially open (at approx.
35%), provided that the wind comes from
the opposite side to the opening side and
that the set of poles are installed properly.
You must secure the partially opened tent
with the included guy line (s), as described
in the installation instruction.
Take the wind into account when opening
your SunnyTent. If there is a moderate or
stronger wind blowing in the direction of one
of the long sides, then open the tent on the
other long side. When conditions are still,
the tent can be opened on both sides.
With wind speed (expected) and / or gusts
of wind between 3 and 5 Bft. do not leave
the tent partially open. This is especially
true if the windy side is the same as the
opening side of the tent, there is a danger
that the wind could blow the tent down. In
such cases, you must leave the tent either
fully open or fully closed (and with all twist
pegs secured) (Note: Do not swim / play in
a closed SunnyTent!).
A completely and properly closed Oval
SunnyTent is resistant to wind (gusts) up to
a force of 5 Bft. With stronger winds / gusts
you must fold your SunnyTent all the way
down (by detaching the 'head parts' and the
'intermediate part' from each other and
lowering the tent completely to the ground
(place something heavy, but not sharp, on
the lowered tent so that the tent parts do not
blow away).
With wind speed (expected) 5 Bft. or higher,
you must open the SunnyTent completely
(and lay it on the ground) and place
something sufficiently heavy (without sharp
parts) on it, so that the tent stays firmly in
place.
A SunnyTent that is partially open (on the
long / straight side (s)) is more sensitive to
wind than a closed SunnyTent. This of
course strongly depends on how exposed
the location of your SunnyTent is and
whether the tent is open on the windward
side or on the opposite side of the wind.
Note: The entire opening (and later closing)
of the SunnyTent must always be done by
two adults.
Note: Never open the SunnyTent halfway,
but about 35% or completely, as explained
in the installation video.
Always keep an eye on the wind force and
wind direction when you open / leave your
SunnyTent open. Always use common
sense in this regard.
•
If a strong wind (or gusts of wind) is expected or the wind is strong, you must carefully check all
the pegs and hinge anchors. In strong winds, also use the plastic locking pegs to help secure
the twist pegs. See the installation instructions for more detailed information.
•
In snow and freezing weather, snow and ice can accumulate on the SunnyTent. This can cause
it to bend and possibly be damaged / broken. Therefore, if snow / freezing rain is expected, you
must open the SunnyTent completely (and place it on the ground).
•
Never leave the SunnyTent partially open, unattended. Always keep a close eye on the weather
and the weather forecast, to prevent the SunnyTent from blowing out of its hinge anchors, being
damaged or causing damage to other things or third parties.
8. Do not leave the SunnyTent unattended unless you are 100% sure that the weather is calm and
predictable (no strong wind (gusts), etc.). If you do, you run the risk of damage to the tent as a result of,
for example, strong wind (gusts), snow or sleet. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
9. If you use the SunnyTent as a tent over your swimming pool, the location of the
skimmer
of your
swimming pool needs attention. You should not place this on the opening sides of the tent of the pool,
