CONDITIONING YOUR NEW TENT
important to condition the tent. Simply
pitch your tent and wet it down with
your garden hose until the fabric and all
seams are saturated. Pay particular
attention to the seams - the thread
swells when wet and blocks the needle
holes. The needle holes also shrink
around the thread. The fabric also
swells into the weave and the
waterproof treatment settles within the
fabric. Let the tent dry completely before
repeating this wetting and drying
process until there is no leakage during
hosing. Always pack your tent away dry.
