The following steps will tell you how to pack up your emperor tent after use. It is vital that your
tent is stored bone dry otherwise it will get attacked by mould. It’s fine to take 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.
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.
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 turn the half moon over so the
other half of the groundsheet can also dry
out.
TIP: It’s a good idea to move the tent off its
original spot to avoid putting the
condensation back onto the first half.
