Maintenance
•
Maintenance starts when setting up your bell Tent. If a bell tent has not been set up
correctly, uneven forces will pull on the canvas. This could eventually lead to damage.
To ensure your tent stays set up correctly daily guy rope maintenance is necessary.
•
It is in your interest to keep the canvas as clean as possible and remove stains when
created. Dust and dried mud are best removed once the canvas is dry by brushing with
a clean hard brush like a floor scrubbing brush.
Zippers
•
Zippers sometimes have to endure extreme tension caused by wind, incorrect tent
setups or pressure caused by people or objects leaning into the tent.
•
In order to limit damage to any zippers…
o
Close all zippers before setting up your tent
o
Handle the zippers with care
o
Protect them by treating them with silicone once in a while, and
o
Verify zippers are ok before setting up your tent, as there is no warranty on them
after use.
