How to pack up a Bell Tent & get it back into it’s bag! 

 

Here are some tips on packing up your bell tent after use. 
 
As stated all over the set up instructions it is 

VITAL

 that your bell tent is stored bone dry 

otherwise it will get attacked by mould. Its fine taking it down damp however, you 

MUST

 

ensure you hang it up to dry within 24 hours. You don’t have to set the tent up again, just 
hang it on a washing line, over a car or over some chairs.  Basically it just needs some 
air. 
 
This is how to get your tent back in the bag without 
hassle 
 

1.  Take all the poles and pegs out of the tent  
(not the groundsheet) and fold the tent over itself  
so you have a double layer half moon.  
Keep the tent on the groundsheet and off the  
ground to keep it clean and dry. 

 
 

2.  Place the tent bag above the top of the tent  
so you have a template for how wide you want  
the tent to end up. Now start folding in from the 
sides but keep the top of the fold away from  
the top of the tent keeping it the right thickness  
to fit in the bag 

 

3.  Keep folding in from each side while making sure to keep the top of the tent from 

becoming a thin point 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

4.  Once you have folded the tent into a strip that is the same width as the bag fold 

both ends in so you end up all the guy ropes tidied in and a strip of canvas about
