Product Information

Full details

The Sonik Biveebo in Grey is a versatile and quick-erect shelter designed for anglers undertaking short or extended sessions. Its primary benefit is the rapid setup facilitated by a slick-speed steel telescopic frame and a high door opening for excellent visibility. A potential caveat is its tall profile, which might be less ideal in extremely windy conditions without proper pegging. Key features include robust 8,000mm HH waterproof material, adaptable front door options (infill or mozzie mesh), and intelligent ventilation for all-weather comfort.

Troubleshooting

Shelter won't erect quickly

Ensure all telescopic poles are fully extended and locked into place. Check that poles are not bent or obstructed.

Condensation build-up inside the shelter

Open the side vents and/or front door slightly to improve airflow. Ensure the groundsheet is properly sealed to prevent ground moisture ingress.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based zip lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Shelter feels unstable in wind

Ensure all guy ropes are correctly attached and tensioned. Use all available pegging points and consider using storm poles for additional support.

Groundsheet is difficult to attach or remove

Ensure the shelter is clean and dry. Check for any obstructions around the attachment points of the groundsheet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack the Sonik Biveebo and lay it out on the chosen spot, ensuring the groundsheet is positioned correctly.
  2. Assemble the main frame by extending the slick-speed steel telescopic poles. Ensure each section locks securely.
  3. Attach the Tuff-lite™ groundsheet if not already integrated.
  4. Insert the frame poles into their respective sleeves and attach the storm poles if needed.
  5. Peg down the main body of the shelter securely, starting with the corners.
  6. Attach the desired front panel (infill or mozzie mesh) by zipping it to the main shelter.
  7. Connect and tension the guy ropes to the designated points on the shelter and secure them with pegs for added stability, especially in windy conditions.

Compatibility

The Sonik Biveebo is designed as a standalone shelter. The rear zip back panel allows for potential connection to other compatible Sonik shelters or bivvies, though specific compatibility should be verified with Sonik for any third-party connections.

Care

  • Cleaning: After use, allow the shelter to dry completely before packing away to prevent mold and mildew. Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the Biveebo in its oversized carry bag in a cool, dry place. Ensure poles are clean and free of dirt before re-packing.
  • Groundsheet: The Tuff-lite™ groundsheet can be wiped clean. It is removable for separate cleaning and drying.
  • Maintenance: Regularly inspect poles for any damage and ensure all zips are clean and functioning smoothly. Treat zips with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
