HOW TO ROLL THE WALLS UP AND DOWN
To roll up
1) Un-peg the canvas loops on the outside of the SoulPad tent, at the base of the walls but leave them in
position in the ground.
2) Un-peg the mudguard from the groundsheet.
3) Roll up and tie back the entrances completely.
4) Roll up the canvas walls and fix up into position using the tie backs and peg loops spaced at intervals
around the circumference.
To roll down
Simply reverse the above steps. Remember to tuck the mudguard back under the groundsheet and re-peg.
PACKING YOUR SOULPAD TENT AWAY
Make sure your SoulPad tent is completely dry before packing. Your SoulPad needs to dry out while pitched,
any other way and the air may not circulate satisfactorily. This can be difficult during the colder months but is
an absolute must. If it is wet moulds will appear, these are often extremely difficult to remove. If you must
pack it away wet, you must pitch it again within 24 hours. Even if you have to pitch it in wet conditions, this
will prevent the problems that occur when leaving a wet SoulPad tent in its bag. A SoulPad tent is better off
wet but pitched than it is wet and packed in a bag without air circulating around it.
The canvas bag is large enough to contain your SoulPad in its entirety. However, it is advisable to pack the
poles and pegs separately from the canvas in order to protect the canvas from damage.
1. Remove all of your belongings from the SoulPad tent.
2. Close all of the windows.
3. Remove the A frame cap and place it in the peg bag ready for next time.
4. Go inside the SoulPad tent, untie the A frame straps (if you used them). Take it outside of the
SoulPad tent and place it inside the pole bag ready for next time. Repeat this process for the
central pole.
5. Zip the entrance closed.
6. Outside the SoulPad tent reposition all of the slides so that they rest approximately 50-70cm from
the
point they are connected to your SoulPad’s walls, ready for next time.
7. Remove all of the stake pegs from the ground, remove any loose dirt and place inside the peg bag.
As you do this throw the guy line onto the canvas fly sheet out of the way for later. Be careful not to
throw dirt onto the canvas in doing so.
8. Remove all pin pegs from the ground at the base of the walls. Remove any loose dirt and place
inside the peg bag.
9. Leave the groundsheet in place as a good surface on which to fold and pack away the canvas
flysheet.
10. Fold the circular canvas flysheet in half to form an approximate semi-circle.
11. Fold in half again.
12.
Take the ‘peak’ of the tent and fold it in so that the flat edge is roughly the same length as the
canvas bag.
13. Using the poles as a rule (in their bag), place the poles mid-way along the straightest edge.
14. Fold the canvas over the poles from each side and remove the poles.
