Troubleshooting
Tarp is flapping excessively in the wind.
Ensure all guylines are taut and securely staked into the ground. Adjust pole height if necessary to create a tighter pitch. Consider repositioning the tarp to face away from the prevailing wind.
Water is pooling on the tarp surface.
Adjust the pole height or guylines to create a steeper pitch, allowing water to run off more easily. Ensure guylines are properly tensioned.
Difficulty attaching to an existing tent.
Refer to your specific Outwell tent's manual for attachment points. Ensure you are using the correct ropes or loops for a secure connection.
Poles are difficult to adjust.
Check for dirt or debris in the pole sections or adjustment mechanisms. Gently clean and re-lubricate if necessary. Ensure pole sections are fully inserted.
