OThER INFORmaTION
The canvas has been impregnated to protect it from dirt, ultraviolet
radiation and fungus. This makes it mould-resistant but not
mould-proof. If the canvas remains damp, in a place where mould
can grow, eventually mould will grow. If you put your tent up in a
damp corner of the garden, next to a hedge, or under a tree long
term it will eventually get mouldy (as would a car or anything left
there). Therefore it’s worth considering the right spot which has
some ventilation, as mould is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Advantages of an Oxford Canvas Tent:
Strong, durable, looks like cotton but without the price tag. PU
coated, seam tape, low maintenance.
Disadvantages of an Oxford Canvas Tent:
Non-breathable or humidity-regulating material.
Maintenance
• Must be bone dry before storing the tent.
• Never keep the tent stored away wet for longer than two days,
otherwise fungus can affect the canvas which will then create
permanent little black dots.
• Maintenance starts when setting up your Bell Tent. If a Bell
Tent has not been set up correctly, uneven forces will pull on
the canvas, which could eventually lead to damage. To ensure your
tent stays set up correctly daily guy rope maintenance is necessary.
• It is in your interest to keep the canvas as clean as possible and
remove stains when created. Dust and dried mud is best removed
once the canvas is dry by brushing with a clean, hard brush like a
floor scrubbing brush.
Lifespan
• The lifespan of your tent is very dependent upon camping
conditions. Oxford fabric is very hard wearing. It is a 100% man
made canvas so it take a longer time for the fabric to break down
compared to the cotton tents.
Zippers
• Zippers sometimes have to endure extreme tension caused
by wind, incorrect tent set ups or pressures caused by people
or objects leaning into the tent. In order to limit damage to any
zippers, close all zippers before setting up your tent.
• Handle them with care. To protect the zippers, treat them with
silicones once in a while. Verify zippers before setting up your tent
as there is no insurance on them after use.
Fungus and stains
• With insufficient ventilations, fungus can affect the canvas. It is
important to store your tent dry so no fungus or other stains
can appear. If you have to store the tent wet temporarily, be
sure to remove the mud and dirt from the bottom of the tent
put your tent back out to dry within 48 hours.
• In order to limit fungus and stains on your tent, store your
tent 100% dry. When dealing with fungus, use a soft brush
or sponge and a lot of fresh water. Only use specialized tent
cleaning product to remove difficult stains.
