BEFORE USE:
• Before using your swag for the first time, it should be ‘seasoned’ to make it fully
waterproof. This involves erecting the swag (see assembly instructions), soaking it
completely with water by either rain or using a hose and letting the swag dry. It is the
drying process that waterproofs the swag.
• Ensure all flaps are closed. This will allow the fabric and stitching to shrink and take up.
Some water may wick through the stitching during this process. If any wicking occurs
in the future, rub the stitching with a wax stick which will seal the area (available at
camping stores).
• Repeat the wetting and drying process 2 or 3 times. The swag should now be
waterproof. Allow swag to dry completely, and clean before rolling and storage.
• Always make sure that your swag is completely dry before packing away.
Any moisture in the fabric will cause it to mildew and dramatically reduce its life.
Mildewed fabric or fabric damaged by mildew is not covered under warranty.
• Never store a wet and/or soiled swag, as mildew and/or corrosion will form within a few
days. This condition is not covered by the warranty.
