TENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE TENT CARE INFORMATION AND
INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS TENT BEFORE USING
YOUR TENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
1. Before you use your new tent, fully unpack and pitch it at home. It
is important to familiarise yourself with the set up procedure and the
various features.
2. Ensure you thoroughly pre-weather your tent before use to ensure
the longest life for your canvas tent.
3. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry and will
drain well if it rains and is protected from wind and other elements.
4. For best results, enlist the help of at least one other person to
assist in pitching the tent.
5. Support frames and canvas should be pulled taut, NOT over-
stressed.
6. Never pull the pegs out using the canvas. Always use a tent peg
remover or claw hammer.
7. Please note, the warranty on this tent will be deemed void if the
product is used for any purpose other than a temporary shelter.
8. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your tent.
9. Do not leave the tent exposed to direct sunlight for extended
periods. UV light is one of the most damaging elements for your tent.
10. Ensure there is an adequate gap between the fly and inner tent to
ensure adequate ventilation and to prevent condensation build up.
11. Your tent is ventilated for all normal conditions, however
condensation may occur in certain circumstances such as being
totally closed off in wet or humid conditions and steam caused
by cooking. If this does occur, thoroughly air the tent at the first
opportunity.
12. Make sure when closing doors that you hold the flaps up to take
pressure off the zips. Ensure that the tent is never over stretched,
especially as this may cause problems with the internal doors.
Never store your tent away damp and ensure it is stored in a
well-ventilated area, preferably off the floor. Should mildew spots
appear, brush them off before they become attached. Mildew
damage of any kind is not covered by our guarantee. DO NOT
use excess force or other harsh tools to remove soilage from
tent.
13. Like all assets canvas tents require regular care and attention
to give the life and service expected. Regular cleaning with an
abundance of clean water and a soft brush, especially after
exposure to salt water will preserve your tent’s life. Do not allow
bird droppings, earth or vegetable matter to remain in contact
with the fabric. NEVER USE SOAPS OR DETERGENTS.
14. Tents are not fire proof, if exposed to flame or high heat sources
they can ignite and burn. Always take care when using spirit or
gas appliances such as stoves and lanterns near your tent.
15. Some of these products contain chemicals, which can destroy
your tents proofing and cause it to leak. Avoid using aerosol
sprays and keep petrol, oil, solvents and other similar fluids
away from the fabric. Do not use these inside or around your
tent as any damage caused by these is not covered by our
guarantee.
16. Always remember that your tent is made from cloth, and should
not be compared with a house. It is waterproof under normal
conditions but in severe weather conditions some water may
penetrate. If you apply water proofing to your tent check that you
are applying the right one for your tent’s canvas type.
17. Make sure your tent is pitched properly and keep a close eye on
the weather, as we have no control over how and where the tent
is used or pitched. Extra pegs and ropes are recommended in
stormy conditions. Please note, wind damage is not covered by
our guarantee. Check and adjust guy ropes and pegs daily.
18. Tent fabrics are not 100% colourfast and some fading will occur
naturally, however; this does not affect the performance of the
fabric. Do not leave your tent up and unattended for extended
periods of time. Tents are not designed as permanent dwellings.
Tents are guaranteed for normal camping use only.
