WEATHERING
CANVAS BELL TENTS

Some bell tents will need a couple of weathering
procedures before every water inlet has gone.
Weathering of the Bell tents should take place before
your camping trip.

Methods of weathering your Bell Tent:
The best method for weathering is simply leaving your
tent out in mother nature for a few days.
Nearly all sellers and manufacturers prefer this method.

You can also weather your tent by giving it a light soak
with a hose. Do not use a jet washer.
