POD CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE POD CARE INFORMATION AND
INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS POD BEFORE USING YOUR
POD FOR THE FIRST TIME.
1. Before you use your new pod, fully unpack and pitch it at home. It is important to
familiarise yourself with the set up procedure and the various features.
2. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry, will drain well if it rains
and is protected from wind and other elements.
3. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your shelter and pod.
4. For best and easiest results, enlist the help of at least one other person to assist in
pitching the pod.
5. Keep all flame and heat sources away from fabric. Do not use open flame or gas
appliances in or near your pod.
6. Do not use aerosol sprays or any solvent based products in or around your pod
as these could damage the fabric or special coatings. These products include but
are not limited to: repellent spray, hair sprays, alcohol, detergents, fly spray, petrol,
kerosene etc.
7. Please note, the warranty on this pod will be deemed void if the product is used for
any purpose other than a temporary, recreational use pod.
8. Especially in windy conditions, it is essential that you attach guy ropes and fasten
them to the ground. We suggest you insert the pegs into the ground at a 45° angle
towards the pod, not straight down. Please note, your pod will not be covered under
warranty if wind damage occurs.
9. Use all of the guy ropes and pegs included to ensure your pod is secure and to
prevent damage to both yourself, your shelter and your pod. Check guy ropes/pegs
daily.
10. To clean your pod only ever use a soft sponge and warm water. DO NOT use
excess force or other harsh cleaners to remove marks from pod.
11. Ensure the pod is completely dry and clean before storing away and ensure to store
it in a dry environment.
IMPORTANT
1. Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity etc.) condensation may
form on the inside of your pod. Condensation can occur for many reasons
including vapour from your breath, perspiration, cooking nearby or wet
clothing inside your shelter. This does NOT mean your pod is leaking through
the fabric. You can minimise condensation by airing out your pod during the
day and by removing any wet clothing/towels etc.
2. Try to avoid pitching your shelter and pod under trees as tree limbs, falling
leaves, sap, bird droppings or excess water dripping from the trees can
cause damage to the shelter fabric and its special coatings resulting in
leakage or discolouration.
3. Only remove the pod pegs by pulling on the peg itself. NEVER pull on the
pod or the webbing loops to remove pegs as it could result in damage to the
pod or personal injury.
4. DO NOT leave pod pitched for weeks at a time as extended exposure to the
sun’s ultraviolet rays can damage and/or cause it to discolour. Your pod will
not be covered under warranty if you leave it up for many weeks at a time.
STORAGE
1. NEVER store your pod wet or dirty (even for short periods of time).
2. NEVER store your pegs or poles inside your pod. Always use the separate
bags they are supplied in.
3. You may want to insure your shelter against loss or damage.
