Troubleshooting

Tent is not standing up straight

Ensure the central pole is fully extended and securely locked. Check that all guy ropes are taut and evenly staked out.

Water seeping through seams or fabric

Check for any tears or damage to the fabric or stitching. Reapply a seam sealer to affected areas. Ensure the groundsheet is correctly positioned and sealed.

Condensation inside the tent

Increase ventilation by opening windows and the door. Ensure the tent is pitched on well-drained ground. Avoid cooking inside the tent.

Zippers are difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper while keeping the fabric taut. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth.

Mildew spots on the canvas

Clean the affected area with a mild solution of water and white vinegar, followed by a thorough rinse and drying. Ensure the tent is completely dry before storing in the future.
