OUTER INFORMATION
Maintenance:
•
The cotton must be bone dry before you store 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.
•
The canvas has been impregnated to protect it from dirt, ultraviolet radiation and
fungus, that is effective for up to 60 weeks of use. Once used past this period of
camping you may need to re-proof certain areas that appear more translucent.
•
Maintenance starts when setting up your emperor tent. If an emperor 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 correct when you set up, daily guy rope
maintenance is necessary.
Lifespan:
The lifespan of your tent is very dependent upon camping conditions
–
air pollution,
ultraviolet radiation, natural dirt (bird droppings, sand, salt water) and domestic dirt (cooking
stains, soda, wine, sun cream). The canvas tent should be good for over 60 weeks (so a year)
of outdoor usage if cared for correctly.
