Avalon Bell Tent (13’, 16.5’ & 20’ ) 

Owner’s Manual

BEFORE YOU GO CAMPING, DO THIS FIRST!

Before you start putting up your tent, we encourage you to assemble 

your bell tent at home or any place, prior to your camping trip to get 

familiar with the set up process before you arrive at camp.

Make sure to read the owner’s manual carefully before you start setting 

up your canvas tent.

SEASONING YOUR TENT

With your canvas tent set up, we recommend that you spray the tent

with water and allow it to dry completely. This process is known as

seasoning the canvas. The water causes the fibers to swell and tighten

up, closing any fiber holes made in the manufacturing process. You

only need to “season” your tent once.

The set up process requires only one person and it takes around twenty 

minutes. If you have a helping hand, it can be done faster.Make sure 

to read the warnings and care instructions to ensure longevity of 

yourtent. As it’s made from durable canvas, it will last longer and 

worth every cent of your investment!

Please contact us if you have any questions, any bright ideas or if you

think we should do things differently. We would love to hear about

your experience!

Let’s go camping!
