Packing up and putting away
You must ensure that your Life Under Canvas bell tent is completely dry
before you
put it away. If you need to leave your campsite and it is damp please ensure that you put it
up again to dry out within 24 hours. The tent needs air to circulate round it to dry
completely and the only way to ensure this happens is to pitch it.
If you put your tent away damp it may develop mould patches which are very difficult to
remove.
Remove all your bits and bobs from inside the tent. Close all the windows and ensure that
the floor is completely zipped into the tent.
It’s also a good idea to give it a sweep, if not debris from the floor can stick to the canvas
when it’s packed up and cause marks on the canvas. If the floor or debris left inside is
damp mould and mildew can also be caused.
Remove the A frame from the door, collapse and put away for next time. Store the rain cap
safely!
Remove the central pole, again collapse and put away. Zip the door closed.
Unhook all of the guy ropes and pull the sliders to the end of the guy rope, then
wrap up and tie with the elastic toggles on the sides of the tent. Throwing the guy ropes
onto the tent instead may cause dirt to be thrown onto the canvas marking it.
Pull out all of the guy pegs, remove any dirt and store safely in the peg bag.
Pull out all of the skirt and floor pegs, remove any dirt and store safely in the peg bag.
