How do I clean the tent?

The tent is made from 185T polyester with a PU coating, and the mesh material is 68D polyester.

Does the tent come with poles?

What should I do if I encounter strong winds?

If strong winds are expected, it is advisable not to use the tent, as it is not designed for such conditions. Secure any loose items and consider packing up if conditions worsen.

Troubleshooting

Tent leaks during rain.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the PU coating is intact. Check that the ground sheet is correctly positioned and that no water is pooling around the base. Reapply seam sealer if necessary.

Tent is difficult to set up.

Ensure fibreglass poles are correctly assembled and inserted into the sleeves. Follow the pin-and-ring system instructions carefully. It is recommended to have two people for setup.

Condensation inside the tent.

Increase ventilation by opening mesh windows and doors. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Ensure the tent is pitched on level ground.

Fabric smells musty.

This indicates the tent was stored while damp. Air the tent out thoroughly in sunlight until the smell disappears. Ensure it is completely dry before next storage.

Zippers are sticking.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
