Troubleshooting
Tent does not pop up fully
Ensure all securing straps are completely unfastened. Check that the tent is not snagged on anything and has enough clear space to expand.
Condensation inside the tent
Increase ventilation by opening mesh doors or vents. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Ensure the groundsheet is properly sealed.
Water seeping through seams in rain
This tent has a 1500mm water resistance rating suitable for light rain. For heavier rain, consider using seam sealer on the seams or a waterproof tarp over the tent. Ensure all guy lines are taut to maintain fabric tension.
Difficulty packing the tent away
After cleaning and drying, twist the tent to compress the spring mechanism. Fold it into a flat disc shape, then fold in half. Secure with straps before placing in the carry bag.
