Folding your Bell tent
Fold the tent in half, brush off any mud and allow to dry for 10 to 15 mins while you pack
up your other belongings. Turn over and repeat the cleaning and drying process.
Keep the tent folded in half and then fold into half again so that you have a long, narrow
shape. Make sure the total width of the folded tent at this stage is the is the same length
as the canvas bag. You may need to fold it slightly differently depending on the size of the
tent. Always check with the length of the bag before you fold.
Roll the tent up carefully sweeping off any mud and dirt as you roll.
Fasten the tent in place with the straps, tighten them and place into the tent bag. Make
sure the poles and pegs are stored in their bags too. Do not put them in loose with the tent
as they may damage the canvas.
Storing your Life Under Canvas bell tent
You
must
ensure that your Life Under Canvas bell tent is completely dry before you put it
away. If you need to leave your campsite and it is damp please ensure that you put it up
again to dry out within 24 hours. The tent needs air to circulate round it to dry completely
and the only way to ensure this happens is to pitch it.
Failure to do so could result in mould and mildew forming and this is very difficult to
remove.
Do not hang your tent to dry as mould and mildew could still form in folds and creases.
Store in a dry place away from damp, ideally at room temperature and not on a damp floor!
Keep safe from rodents and insects.
Do not store anything on top of your bell tent.
Pitch your bell tent at least once a year in order to check it and to help keep its shape.
