Troubleshooting
Water leaks inside the tent.
Check all seams and seals for any damage or gaps. Ensure the tent is properly pegged and guy lines are taut. If leaks persist, reseal seams with a seam sealant.
Condensation build-up inside the tent.
Ensure the roof vents are open for ventilation. Make sure the tent is pitched in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing wet gear inside the tent without proper ventilation.
Poles are difficult to insert.
Check the pole sleeves for any obstructions. Ensure the poles are properly aligned with the sleeves. Apply some lubricant to the poles to ease insertion, if necessary.
Tent is unstable in windy conditions.
Ensure all guy lines are properly attached and taut. Use additional pegs to secure the tent. Consider moving the tent to a more sheltered location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Choose a flat, clear area near your main tent or camping setup. Unpack the tent and identify all components (tent body, poles, pegs). Assemble the poles, then insert them into the designated sleeves or clips on the tent body. Peg down the tent at the corners and any additional pegging points to secure it. Attach guy lines for extra stability, especially in windy conditions.
- Compatibility: The Hi-Gear Annexe Utility Tent is designed to work with most camping setups. Ensure there is enough space around your main tent for setup.
- Care: Clean the tent after each use to prolong its lifespan. Sweep or wipe away dirt and debris. If the tent is wet, allow it to dry completely before packing it away to prevent mildew. Use mild soap and water for cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store the tent in a dry, well-ventilated space.
