UNDERSTANDING WATERPROOFNESS
What is not covered by warranty!
OZtrail tents use waterproof and water repellent fabrics. However, with
tent will not be as waterproof as a car, house or other solid structures. The
following are common examples of how water can enter a tent: -
Zips
could force water under the rain flaps and through the zips. To minimise this, make sure all
doors and windows are closed with the rain flaps covering the zips.
Floor - If the ground is very wet or water pools under the floor, downward pressure of
standing or kneeling on the floor could force water through the floor fabric. To prevent this,
do not pitch the tent over hollows and make sure water drains away from the tent.
Structural Integrity - A perfectly pitched tent on perfectly flat ground is structurally strong
and most waterproof. During prolonged periods of rain and wind it may be necessary to
and incorrect pitching weakens the tent structure and could allow water to pool on the fly
placing undue forces on the tent causing leaking and breakages.
