Tent Care

 

Zipper Maintenance:

 Always have zippers unzipped when placing/removing tent 

over frame to prevent too much stress on zipper. 

Mildew:

 If you have mildew on your canvas wall tent, you can spray on hydrogen 

peroxide and rinse thoroughly.  If that does not work, as last resort, mix 2 T of 

bleach in a 1 gallon bucket of warm water. Wash only the area with mildew 

Cleaning: 

Always brush off caked on dirt or mud (let mud dry) with a soft brush. 

Washing Tent

: Use only mild, all natural detergents. Always scrub lightly. 

Storage: 

Never store a damp or wet tent.  Let it dry naturally. Your tent will get 

mildewed if stored wet regardless of it being pretreated. 

UV Rays: 

Long exposure to the sun's UV rays will damage all canvas fabrics. A 

fly is recommended to prevent UV damage if you set up your tent 2-3 weeks or 

longer annually. A fly keeps your roof clean, helps shed snow easier, keeps 

moisture out and heat in.  A tent fly is a great additional weather barrier. 

NOTE:  A fly for the Maroon Bell Tent is under development and is currently not 

available.

 

Leaking Seams: 

Use a tent seam sealer to stop leaking seams or buy a fly. 

Stoves or Lanterns: 

Keep all stoves and lanterns away from canvas.  

Set up Location: 

Be aware of which trees emit resins and avoid setting up your wall 

tent under these types of trees.
