OTHER INFO
Cotton shrinks when wet, making itself waterproof when it rains.
The first time your tent gets wet it may leak a little, don’t worry,
THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL! Once it dries out for the first time that

year). Once used past this period you may need to re-proof
certain areas that appear more translucent. Please contact us
if this is the case as we also sell reproofer.

• It is in your interest to keep the canvas dry by brushing with a
clean, hard brush like a floor scrubbing brush.
