Product Information

Full details

This lightweight outdoor event shelter is designed for anyone seeking convenient and reliable protection from the elements during outdoor events. Its key benefit is offering spacious, SPF50 protected, and waterproof shelter with easy assembly. A minor caveat is that while robust, it requires proper pegging and guylining for maximum stability in windy conditions. The Royal Leisure W530 offers a generous 3.5m square coverage area with a maximum height of 2.3m, constructed from durable, fire-retardant polyester with a 3000mm hydrostatic head rating and SPF50 UV protection. It features a strong yet lightweight fibreglass frame and packs down into a compact carry bag.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the shelter?

The shelter offers a large coverage area measuring 3.5 metres square with a maximum height of 2.3 metres.

Is this shelter suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the shelter features a 3000mm hydrostatic head rating, which provides excellent waterproofing for most rain conditions.

How much UV protection does the fabric offer?

The fabric provides SPF50 UV protection, safeguarding you from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

What is the weight and packed size?

The total weight is 8.2kg, and it packs down neatly into a carry bag measuring 65cm x 19.5cm x 19.5cm.

What materials are used for the frame?

The frame is constructed from sturdy yet lightweight fibreglass, using 9.5mm fibreglass poles.

Does it come with pegs and guylines?

Yes, the shelter is designed for easy pitching and includes guylines and steel pegs for added stability.

Can this shelter be used as a tent for sleeping?

This shelter is designed primarily for providing cover and protection from the elements during outdoor events, not as a sleeping tent.

Troubleshooting

Shelter is not stable in wind.

Ensure all pegs are firmly hammered into the ground and guylines are taut and correctly angled. Consider using additional pegs or heavier-duty stakes if on softer ground.

Water is leaking through the fabric.

Check that seams are intact and that the fabric has not been damaged. For minor leaks, seam sealer can be applied. Ensure the hydrostatic head rating (3000mm) is suitable for the intensity of the rain.

Poles are difficult to assemble.

Ensure the pole sections are aligned correctly and pushed together firmly. If a pole section seems stuck, gently twist it while pulling apart.

Fabric has a musty smell.

This indicates the shelter was packed away while damp. Air dry the shelter completely in sunlight before storing. For persistent smells, a specialized fabric cleaner for outdoor gear may be used.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides ample shade and shelter for various outdoor activities.
  • Offers excellent protection against both sun (SPF50) and rain (3000mm hydrostatic head).
  • The fibreglass frame makes it relatively lightweight and easy to transport.
  • Simple to set up with included guylines and pegs.
  • Durable and fire-retardant fabric for safety and longevity.

Cons

  • Requires secure pegging and guylining to withstand strong winds.
  • As with most shelters, extreme weather conditions may test its limits.
  • Primarily designed for shelter, not as a full tent for sleeping.
  • Fibreglass poles, while lightweight, can be prone to damage if mishandled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the shelter and identify all components: fabric canopy, fibreglass poles, guylines, and pegs.
  2. Assemble the fibreglass poles according to the provided instructions, connecting them to form the frame structure.
  3. Raise the frame and position it over the desired area.
  4. Attach the canopy to the frame, ensuring it is taut.
  5. Secure the shelter by hammering the steel pegs through the loops at the base of the canopy and guylines into the ground.
  6. Adjust guylines to ensure the shelter is stable and the fabric is taut.

Compatibility:

This shelter is designed for use on most flat, stable outdoor surfaces such as grass, patios, or campsites. It is compatible with standard camping pegs and guylines, with additional ones provided for enhanced stability.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Always ensure the shelter is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: Store in the provided carry bag in a cool, dry place. Protect the fibreglass poles from excessive force or sharp objects.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check guylines and seams for wear and tear. Retighten guylines as needed.
