Fading fabric:
Do not leave your tent set up in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as this
weakens and fades the fabric.
Faulty zip
All our tents are manufactured with highest quality zips. However, dust and sand are the
main reasons for zip tear and wear. If the zip separates, you can fix the zip by moving the
slider to the beginning of the zip tape and reworking the zip. If separation continuous, open
the zip, give the slider a slight squeeze with pliers and rework the zip.
