Clean and dry tent thoroughly after each use.
Never use a washing machine or tumble dryer to clean
tent. Car washes are also frowned upon.
Spot clean with mild detergent and warm water.
Air dry only.
Pack tent carefully to avoid punctures.
Avoid prolonged UV exposure.
Next, drape your flysheet over the top of your pitched

8 peg points, reusing the existing corner pegs of the
inner [Fig.3].

For a really lightweight shelter, you can pitch the Tarpstar
with just the flysheet & add the footprint. It pitches much
the same as the inner. Start by pegging out the footprint.
With your footprint in place, peg the flysheet to the four
corners. Step inside and position your pole centrally.
Peg the remaining corners for a taut pitch [Fig. 4]

If you are unluckly enough to rip your tent, duct tape or
StormSure tough tape will do the trick for field repairs.
When you are home and dry, you can repair your tent
properly. Using the spares kit you can patch up your tent
with more fabric. Remember to seal any seams!
If a pole breaks, use a pole splint or sleeve as a temporary
repair.
If you need any help or spare parts then please get in touch
and we will find a fix for you tent.
