Care
●
VERY IMPORTANT
—Your tent must be completely dry before storage! STORING A WET OR DAMP
TENT, EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME, WILL RUIN IT AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
●
To clean tent, hose down with water and wipe with a cloth. Do not use soaps and detergents as they
can damage the water-repellant treatment of the canvas.
●
Do not spray insecticides or bug repellant directly on the canvas. This may damage the water-repellant
treatment.
●
For long-term storage, store in a cool, dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
●
This tent is equipped with quality zippers. To prolong zipper life, do not ―grind‖ zippers around corners.
If needed, pull the canvas, windows or doors to help zippers glide smoothly. Keep them clean from dirt.
●
The canvas on your tent has a special Hydra-
Shield™ treatment that is watertight, yet breathable. You
should rarely, if ever, have to retreat the canvas. If you do need to spot treat the canvas for water
repellency, use a silicone based repellent such as Camp Dry® by Kiwi®. Other treatments will clog the
tiny holes in the canvas eliminating its breathability.
●
Winter camping can be an enjoyable experience in a Kodiak Canvas tent. However, this tent is not
designed for heavy snow accumulations.
Other Notes
●
Condensation inside the tent is affected by the difference between inside and outside temperatures,
and humidity. Condensation can be reduced by venting your tent. Condensation between the floor and a
sleeping mat can be reduced by placing a ground cloth underneath the tent.
●
Some slight irregularities are normal with 100% cotton canvas and will not affect the performance of
your tent.
