General tips and information on using your shelter.
• Weathering and Seams :
The main seams on this shelter have been taped to help prevent water ingress. Some seams cannot be as effectively taped and may
need weathering.
Weathering is the process where the shelter gets wet and the cotton thread used in the manufacturing expands to fill the gap caused when the product is
sewn. When the cotton dries it shrinks back, but never fully. This process then ensures that the cotton thread fills the gap and seals against water ingress.
Sometimes this process is not completed the first time and needs to be done a few times, depending upon your expectations you may find it necessary or
quicker to treat the seams with seam sealant.
Also over time the seams may become damaged or have peeled away during normal wear and tear then these should also be treated with seam sealant to
give extra protection and help water ingress.
• Suitability
:
This is a lightweight shelter and should never be used as a long term or seasonal pitching. To ensure no issues it should also be taken down in
adverse weather conditions, especially in strong winds or snow fall.
• Condensation
: Your shelter will suffer from condensation. The amount of condensation will differ depending upon ground conditions, the weather and how
the shelter is pegged. We recommend using the ventilation panels whenever possible as this will lessen the amount of condensation you get.
• U.V. Coating & Fading
: Your shelter awning has a U.V. coating on it which helps protect it against the harmful suns rays, but this coating will degrade over
time. Fading will affect the colour of your shelter, but not its performance and is not covered under your warranty as it is a natural process with any synthetic
material used outdoors. We always recommend re-coating your shelter each year as this can add years of extra life to your shelter. If you do re-coat your
shelter we recommend cleaning it first with a dedicated awning/tent cleaner and then re-coating it immediately after it has dried, again with a dedicated re-
proofing solution.
