PEGS
The tent comes complete with general purpose pegs. These will be suitable for
many sites but there will be some instances where different pegs will be
necessary. Your dealer will stock a range of pegs suitable for different types of
ground. For maximum effectiveness, pegs should be driven into the ground at a
45
º
angle away from the pegging point.
RAIN
We make our tents as resistant to the weather as possible. Occasionally you
may find slight leakage. This is not a fault with the manufacturing process or
materials and can normally be rectified by spot treating the seam with seam
sealant or waterproofing spray (see below).
SEAMS
Please refer to page 2, to the section on weathering. Your tent will need to me
weathered before use to be as weatherproof as possible. Follow the
instructions in this section. If a seam is still leaking, particularly around tie tapes, a
waterproofing spray can be used - your retailer will stock waterproofing spray.
SUITABILITY
This tent is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During very strong
winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your tent down. The tent is
designed for occasional use; it is not designed for static or commercial use.
UV DEGRADATION
Tent fabrics can be weakened by prolonged exposure to sunlight. Under normal
holiday use your tent will give long service but use for extended periods in
strong sunlight will soon cause deterioration. In those cases it would be wise to
use a site as shaded as possible. UV degradation is not covered under the
warranty. The warranty does not cover tents used on permanent sites, displays
or for commercial purposes.
CONDENSATION
Your tent is manufactured using a breathable material and is much less likely to
be affected by condensation than fully synthetic tents. If you experience any
condensation you should ensure that all the vents are open.
SAFETY
DO NOT COOK IN THE TENT OR USE NAKED FLAMES. READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE FIRE PRECAUTIONS LABEL SEWN INTO THE INSIDE OF THE
TENT.
