What is the weight of the camping shelter?
The camping shelter weighs 16.55 kg.
What materials are used for the frame?

How many people can comfortably fit in this tent?

Is the tent waterproof?
The tent is designed to withstand various weather conditions. However, like most tents, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in minor seepage, and proper setup with the top fly is crucial for water resistance.
Does it come with everything needed for setup?
Yes, the delivery contains the tent, top fly, fiberglass poles, steel poles, guy ropes, pegs, peg bag, and a carry bag.
How do I clean the tent?
Cleaning is effortless. Simply wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth. Allow the tent to dry completely before storing.
Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to set up or take down.
Ensure all poles are correctly inserted and extended. Check that the fabric is not snagged. For takedown, reverse the setup process, ensuring poles are collapsed fully.
Tent is not stable in windy conditions.
Ensure all guy ropes are properly attached and tensioned. Use all provided pegs, securing them firmly into the ground at appropriate angles. If possible, position the tent to minimize wind exposure.
Water seepage during rain.
Check that all seams are properly sealed and that the top fly is correctly attached and taut. Ensure the tent is pitched on level ground to prevent water pooling. Minor seepage may occur in extreme weather conditions.
Carry bag is too small for all components.
Ensure all components are packed efficiently and as intended by the manufacturer. Some components like poles may need to be stored separately if they do not fit neatly within the main bag.
