13. Fold the canvas over the poles from each side and remove the poles.
14. Now you can choose to either place the poles at the top of this shape and roll them into the canvas.
Or to protect the canvas from the poles you can roll this shape without them. Remove any debris as
you roll.
15. Fasten the canvas with the ties it came with. Helping it to hold its shape whilst in the main canvas
bag.
16. Place the rolled canvas into the main canvas bag.
17. It is good practice to store the poles, pegs and canvas in their separate bags in order to protect the
canvas from the other components.
STORING YOUR SOULPAD TENT
1. Only store your SoulPad tent if it is dry.
Never store it if the canvas fly sheet or the groundsheet is damp or wet. Both the groundsheet and the
canvas must be completely dry before storing. Otherwise there is a very high risk of mildew forming on the
canvas. Mildew is often irremovable, and so its prevention is of very high importance.
If you are forced to pack your SoulPad tent away when it is damp or wet then it must be erected again within
24 hours, even in adverse weather.
2. Store in a dry place.
Moderate, temperate conditions are ideal. Extremes of temperature will harm the structure of the canvas.
The optimum storage temperature is room temperature.
3. Do not store anything on top of your SoulPad tent as this may distort the canvas or cause harm to the
other components.
4. Your SoulPad tent should be taken out of storage at least once a year to allow it to recover from its
compacted and stored state.
5. Be aware that rodents and insects can cause damage to stored SoulPad tents.
6. Choose your storage area carefully and remember to check on your SoulPad tent from time-to-time. For
example: five minutes spent checking the bag for dampness, or checking for signs of rodent activity could
save you time, effort and unwanted repair costs later.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE
There is a legible notice permanently attached inside your SoulPad tent, to the left of the entrance as you
enter the tent. Do not remove it. These Fire Precautions should be noted and followed each time you use
your SoulPad tent. It reads as follows: -
