STUCTURAL
INTEGRIRTY
Although
Dune
swags
and
canvas
tents
are
constructed
to
rigid
specifications,
periods
of
wind
and
rain
soaking
the
ground
may
loosen
pegs
and
cause
the
poles
to
sink
into
the
ground.
This
will
weaken
the
rigidity
of
the
overall
structure
and
may
allow
water
pockets
to
form
in
the
roof
of
the
pole
assembly
is
not
taught,
the
weight
of
which
may
cause
broken
poles
and
torn
fabric.
This
is
not
covered
by
warranty.
IMPORTANT
1.
Before
using
your
swag
it
must
be
seasoned
to
make
it
fully
waterproof.
This
involves
erecting
the
swag,
soaking
it
completely
with
water
by
either
rain
or
hose
and
letting
the
swag
dry.
It
is
the
drying
process
that
waterproofs
the
swag.
Ensure
all
windows
and
doors
are
closed.
The
wetting
and
drying
process
allows
the
fabric
and
stitching
to
shrink
and
take
up.
Some
water
may
wick
through
the
stitching
during
this
process.
Repeat
the
wetting
and
drying
process
2
or
3
times.
The
swag
should
now
be
waterproof.
If
any
wicking
through
the
stitching
occurs
in
the
future
rub
the
stitching
with
a
wax
stick
(available
at
most
camping
stores)
which
will
seal
the
area.
2.
Always
allow
the
swag
to
dry
completely
before
packing
it
away
for
storage.
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
factory
warranty.
Always
allow
swag
to
dry
completely,
and
clean
before
rolling
up
and
storing
away.
3.
During
rain
always
lower
awnings
to
avoid
water
ponding
on
awning.
4.
This
swag
is
designed
as
a
recreational
product
only
and
is
not
suitable
for
use
as
a
dwelling.
5.
Your
swag
is
valuable
and
should
be
insured
against
loss
or
damage.
