4.1.3 CONNECTING A TUBE BALLAST TO THE
TENT TUBE
Tube Ballasts can be attached to the inside or outside
of the tubes.
Make sure that the rubber-reinforced side of the ballast
is facing the ground.
Take the end of the webbing with the buckle insertion
part and thread it upward through the anchoring ring
on the tube end (a) and then through the webbing loop
on the Tube Ballast (b). Connect the hook part of the
buckle into the insertion part of the buckle and tension
the webbing so that the Tube Ballast snugly „hangs on
the foot“ of the tent. This is how you achieve the best
stability and force transmission. (c)
4.1.4 CONNECTING MULTIPLE TUBE BALLASTS
TO ONE TUBE
To secure the tent in strong winds, multiple ballasts can
be attached to each tube end. Arrange the Tube Bal-
lasts next to each other and connect them to one an-
other using the plastic toggles. Then attach the buckles
on each ballast to the tube ends of the tent as descri-
bed in 4.1.3. The Tube Ballasts can alternatively be pla-
ced on top of one another.
4.2 WATER BALLAST BARRELS
Especially suited for hard ground surfaces, Water Bal-
last Barrels can be used as tent anchors, seating or
both.
4.2.1 FILLING
• Make sure the the check valve tab in the opening at
the bottom of the barrel is closed. To do this, pull the
check valve forward with one finger. This will ensure
that nearly no water can escape when removing the
hose after filling (a).
• When filling with water, the upper opening should
initially remain open (with the check valve pushed
back into the barrel) so that the air can escape when
filling (b).
• Fill the barrel until it has completely taken shape and
the water has reached the upper valve opening.
