PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
Care and advice
Please read this guide carefully before attempting to pitch your tent
1. Keep in a safe place for future reference. If used properly, your tent should serve you well
for years of trouble free use. We recommend that your tent is insured against accidental
and storm damage as this is not covered by the warranty. These tents are not designed
to withstand storm conditions. In adverse weather it is recommended these tents are
packed away to avoid possible damage.
2. Select the campsite and position the tent. Open the bag and as you take out the tent
look at the way it has been packed. This will help you when you come to repack it. When
selecting your campsite, the ideal place would be an area as even and clean of rocks,
branches and other sharp objects as possible. Spread out the tent and place it with the
door in the desired direction, avoid placing the tent directly under trees, and position
it with the door facing away from any breeze. Get the most out of your camping trip by
having a trial run, putting up and taking down your new tent in order to know it before
you use it for the first time.
3. Under some weather conditions, condensation can occur on the inside surfaces of your
tent. To help prevent this you must remove any wet clothes, towels etc and increase
the ventilation. Ensuring the lower vents are open and the inner door covers are open
exposing the mesh door panels will help. Condensation should not be confused with
leakage. Do not place foam squabs or non bonded mats directly onto the tent floor as
this will cause condensation and can lead to mildew forming. Condensation and mildew
are not covered by the guarantee.
4. Do not use an open flame, gas appliances or cook inside your tent. The fabric has been
treated with a fire retardant but the tent is not fire proof. Cooking inside your tent also
creates moisture which can cause condensation and mildew.
5. When erecting your tent, do not secure it too tightly, otherwise it will not be able to
adapt to varying wind and weather conditions. Ensure all guy ropes are used at all times.
Only remove tent pegs by pulling on the peg itself. Never pull on the webbing loops
or tent itself as this could result in damage to the tent. For stony or very soft sandy type
ground additional/alternative pegs may be required. Insecticides, hairsprays etc must
not be sprayed in or near the tent as they may damage the fabric and coating! When
taking down and packing the tent, it and the poles and pegs must be completely dry to
avoid corrosion and mildew forming. Remove dirt from the tent with a soft sponge and
pure water. Store the tent in a dry place. Do not store directly on a floor in a garage or out
building, especially on concrete. Do not needlessly leave the tent pitched. Even the best
fabrics will be damaged by UV light and will shorten the life of your tent.
