Troubleshooting

Tent leaks during rain

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and consider applying a seam sealer. Check that the hydrostatic head rating is sufficient for the expected rainfall and that the flysheet is taut.

Condensation inside the tent

Increase ventilation by opening mesh vents or doors slightly. Avoid cooking inside the tent and ensure sleeping bags are not pressed directly against the tent walls.

Poles are difficult to insert or remove

Check that pole sections are fully connected. If a pole section is bent or damaged, it may need to be straightened or replaced. Lubricate pole joints with a dry lubricant if they are stiff.

Tent is unstable in wind

Ensure all guy lines are correctly attached and tensioned. Use all available stake points and consider using additional stakes or anchoring points if available in windy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components: tent flysheet, inner tent, poles, and guy lines.
  2. Assemble the fibreglass poles by connecting the sections.
  3. Lay out the flysheet and insert the poles into the designated sleeves, securing them as per the tent's design (often clipping the inner tent to the poles).
  4. Stake out the tent corners and then attach and tension the guy lines for stability, ensuring they are brightly visible.

Compatibility:

This tent is designed as a standalone shelter. It is compatible with standard camping gear such as sleeping bags, mats, and camping furniture that fits within its dimensions (Height: 220 CM, Width: 225 CM, Depth: 115 CM).

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, clean the tent with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or machine washing.
  • Drying: Ensure the tent is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew. Air dry in a shaded area, not direct sunlight.
  • Storage: Store the tent loosely in its carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check poles for cracks and repair or replace as needed. Re-waterproof seams and fabric annually or as needed using appropriate tent waterproofing treatments.
