FAQs

What is the sleeping capacity of this tent?

The VidaXL fishing tent has a sleeping capacity for 2 persons.

Is the tent waterproof?

Yes, the tent is made from 185T polyester with a PU coating and features taped seams, making it waterproof and wind-resistant.

How easy is it to set up?

Setup is designed to be easy thanks to highly flexible and lightweight fibreglass poles and a convenient pin-and-ring connection system.

Can I use this tent in strong winds?

The tent is wind-resistant due to its construction and materials. However, for optimal stability in strong winds, ensure it is properly staked down using all available points.

What are the packed dimensions?

The packing dimensions are approximately 60 x 18 x 19 cm (L x W x H).

Does it come with a carry bag?

Yes, the tent is foldable and lightweight, and it comes with an included carry bag for easy transport.

Are there any warnings regarding heat or flames?

Yes, a warning is included to keep all flame and heat sources away from the product fabric, as it is made of polyester.

Troubleshooting

Tent leaks during rain.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Re-check that the PU coating is intact and that the taped seams are securely attached. For persistent leaks, consider using a seam sealer (sold separately).

Tent poles are difficult to insert or remove.

Ensure the poles are fully assembled and straight. If they are sticky, check for debris in the pole sections. Gentle twisting may help insertion/removal. Do not force them.

Tent fabric smells musty.

The tent likely stored while damp. Ensure the tent is thoroughly aired out and completely dry before storing it again. You can use a mild fabric refresher or air it out in sunlight.

Zipper is stiff or catching.

Apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant (specifically for zippers) to the teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to free it. Avoid using wax-based products which can attract dirt.
