waterproofing & leak prevention
packing away & storing your tent
cleaning your tent
On the first occasion that your canvas tent ensures heavy rainfall, although
unlikely, you may find small leaks around the seams of the fabric, do not worry
as this is normal! Once it has fully dried out, the cotton will naturally shrink and
close any holes to ensure your tent becomes completely watertight.
• Ensure that both the tent and groundsheet are
BONE DRY
before packing
away, this process can be quicker by detaching the groundsheet and hanging it
to dry separately.
• Store your tent away in a dry place, free of damp and excessive condensation.
We would advise placing it up high so that rodents cannot reach the tent.
• To effectively pack down your tent, follow the pitching instructions in reverse.
