5M Bell Tent instructions
Storage
If the product is not going to be used for an extended period (such as a winter period) we recommend that it
is carefully folded away and stored in a clean, dry and free from damp location.
Care and Cleaning Instructions
Never use and harsh or abrasive cleaners or brushes when cleaning this product as the frame and fabric may
be damaged when doing so. Never fold and put the product away when wet as this can trap water in the
product, which can lead to mould and mildew build up.
• Mould
: As with any tent and been packed away wet/damp over time this will cause mould to grow which
is not covered by the warranty. Always be sure to pack away your tent bone dry to prevent this from
happening.
• Cleaning
: As with any tent you will be sure to get mud splattered onto it at some point. The best method to
get it off is to wait until it is fully dried and brush it off with a soft brush, as if you use a damp cloth this can
just spread the mud around and rub it into the canvas. To clean the groundsheet this is easier if you unzip
the canvas first and do it separately. You can wash it then with a hose (not powerful) and brush any excess
away and then allow to dry. If there are stubborn stains or dirt on the tent, then we recommend using a
specific cotton fabric tent cleaner and a soft cleaning cloth. Heavy soiling should be allowed to dry and
brushed with a soft brush beforehand..
• UV Degredation
: UV degradation happens to all materials that are used outdoors. Eventually it will cause
the material to go brittle, fade or change colour. The time it takes to do this will differ depending upon how
often you use it and what the weather is like when you do. It is a natural process which affects all materials
used outdoors. This tent has an advanced fabric that is coated to help prevent this process, but it does not
stop it completely, it only helps slow it down. You can help protect against this degradation by regular care
and proofing of the tent. The tent should be regularly cleaned and re-proofed to ensure that mould and
mildew do not build up and damage the tent. Weathering due to excessive UV degradation is not covered
by the warranty..
• Storage
: Please store your tent dry. If you must take your tent down when it is wet, you must unpack it
within 2-3 days and allow it to dry out thoroughly before packing it away. This is to ensure that mould and
mildew do not build up as this can lead to damage on your tent and is not covered under your warranty.
