Troubleshooting
Tent poles are difficult to connect
Ensure the pole sections are clean and free of debris. Push them together firmly until they click or seat properly.
Water seeping through seams
Verify that all seams are properly taped and that the tent is pitched correctly. Ensure the ground sheet is positioned effectively.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth if needed.
Tent fabric smells damp after storage
Air out the tent completely in a well-ventilated area until the smell dissipates. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing next time.
