How to pack up a Bell Tent & get it back into its bag:
Below are some tips on packing up your Bell Tent after use.
As stated all over the set up instructions it is
VITAL
that your tent is stored bone dry
otherwise it will get attacked by mould. Its fine taking it down damp, however, you
MUST
ensure you hang it up to dry within 24 hours. You don’t have to set the tent up again, just
hang it on a washing line, over a car or over some chairs - basically it just needs some
air.
This is how to get your tent back in the bag without
hassle:
1. Take all the poles and pegs out of the tent
whilst keeping the canvas off the grass - this
helps keep your tent clean and grass stain free.
Without standing on the canvas, fold half of the
tent over so you have a half moon with the
groundsheet facing up
2. Let that half of the groundsheet dry out and you might want to wipe off any mud
or worm casks. If it’s not a dry day you’ll need to dry the tent out when you get
home. The idea is that you always have canvas touching canvas and
groundsheet touching groundsheet, so even if the tent is wet you avoid stains.
Once the condensation has dried off you need to flick the half moon over so the
other half of the groundsheet can also dry out.
(We find it’s a good idea to move the tent off its original spot to avoid putting the
condensation back onto the first half)
3. Once the whole tent is dry, you now need to
fold the half moon over on itself again and
again so you end up with a strip the width
of the tent bag. The best way to do this to
put the bag at the top of the bag and use
it as a template to get the right width.
