STORE YOUR CANVAS TENT
STEP 1: Clean Out Your Tent
Sweep the tent out completely. Remove all of your belongings from the tent and close all of the
windows.
Once again, allow the tent to dry out completely before storing it.
STEP 2: Breakdown Tent
When you are sure your tent is COMPLETELY BONE DRY, pull out all the pegs. Place them in the
tool kit bag provided. Make sure to remove any loose dirt before putting them in the bag.
Unzip and detach the groundsheet and canvas fly cover.Remove the door entrance pole and center
pole, disassemble it, and return it to the bag provided.
Note: Remove the pins now and store them in the tool kit bag provided. Do not pull up on the tent
loops to remove your pegs and pins, this could cause the loops to tear.
STEP 3: Pack the Canvas Tent
Make sure to never store it either wet or damp. The moisture trapped inside will make the life of tent
shorter. At times, you don’t have much of a choice but to pack it; in damp condition, make sure you
hang it up to dry within a day. Don’t set up the tent again, just let it dry at any place as it needs
air.
Remember the groundsheet is detached from the canvas tent cover, make sure it is facing the
ground to protect your tent. Keep the tent off the grass or ground (to keep it clean and tint free).
Fold front and back edges of the tent to the middle. Fold the tent lengthwise down the middle (fold
half of the tent over). Now fold the bottom up from both sides and roll the whole tent into a tight
bundle. Make sure that the folded tent should be the size of the tent bag. Use the ties to secure the
tent as a roll. Next, lift one end, slip the bag over the tent and place everything else inside. Place
both the pole bag and tool kit bag inside while folding the tent or you can put it on top of the tent
inside the bag.
Make sure groundsheet is facing the ground, it will protect the canvas tent from getting any dirt or
stains on it. Once the tent cover is securely packed, roll the groundsheet and pack it in the pole
bag provided.

TIPS TO CARE FOR YOUR ALPHA WALL TENT
Please follow the tips below on packing up your tent after a fun trip. The tent is not designed to get
through one festival season or getaway, it’s made from high density tightly woven canvas with a
breathable high-performance finish, thus, more durable and will last much longer. Do not leave your
tent unattended in severe weather conditions!

tent properly
Leakage
Golden Role:
Never, repeat, NEVER store or pack
your tent and ropes away wet, damp
or dirty.
If you own a cotton canvas tent, make sure to
never store it either wet or damp, even the
ropes. The moisture trapped inside will make the
life of tent shorter. At times, you don’t have
much of a choice but to pack it; in damp
condition, make sure you hang it up to dry
within a day or two. Otherwise, fungus can
affect the tent leading to tiny little black spots all
over your tent which are permanent.
Simple yet effective way to ensure enhanc-
ing your tent’s life span. The canvas can
become stressed if the tent isn’t set-up
correctly which would eventually lead
towards damage.
To remove marks, use a soft brush or sponge with
fresh water and mild detergent only and rinse with
clean water. Allow to dry thoroughly. Wipe down all
metal surfaces with damp cloth.
After beach use or wet conditions treat all zips and
metal components with silicon spray. Remove the
stains as soon as they appear, its way easier to brush
off the dirt and dried mud when the tent is dry
byusing a scrubbing brush.
Cotton canvas fabric normally expands when
exposed to wet environment to make itself
waterproof.There might be a possibility that it
may leak a bit when you set it up for the first
time. The cotton fibres will swell and close up
any tiny holes that might cause the leakage
again. Don’t freak out, it’s totally okay as this
will no longer happen again because of the
natural cotton phenomenon.
Ventilation
Make absolutely sure that your tent is stored
in a dry place which is well ventilated. Due
to insufficient ventilation, fungus can affect
the canvas. It is important to store your tent
dry so no fungus or other stains can appear.
