a metre long. Next take the canvas off ground sheet. Remember to keep it off
grass if the grass is wet)
5. Now un-peg the ground sheet, turn it over and give it a couple of minutes for the
condensation to dry off the bottom. You may want to put a couple of pegs back in
to stop it being blow away and it’s a good idea to not put it on the same spot as
before as you’ll get condensation on the new underside.
6. Once both sides are dry fold the groundsheet in half and in half again so you end
up with a strip the same width as the folded tent. Now fold it over on itself until
you end up with a square (Sometimes it’s not possible to get the ground sheet
bone dry in the field, if that’s the case roll up the dry tent into it’s bag, roughly
pack up the wet ground sheet and pop it in something water proof. Once home
dry it out and continue putting the tent away)
7. Now place the groundsheet on the folded tent, followed by the pole bag and peg
bag and then roll the whole thing into a tight bundle using the ties to secure the
tent in a roll. Next lift one end and slip the bag over the tent.
Bingo you’ve done it!
Enjoy your bell tent and remember please only store it bone dry.
Many thanks and feel free to call us if you get stuck
Other info.
Cotton shrinks when wet, making itself waterproof when it rains.
The first time your tent gets wet it may leak a little, don’t worry THIS IS TOTALLY
NORMAL!!
Once it dries out for the first time that shrinkage closes up any little holes to
ensure it won’t happen again.
