FAQs
Does this tent provide waterproof protection?
The tent is designed primarily as a sun shelter. While it may withstand light mist, it is not a fully waterproof camping tent.
What are the dimensions of the shelter?
The total dimensions are 210cm x 120cm x 120cm.
Is the material machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the UV coating and fabric structure. Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning.
Are the tent pegs included?
Yes, the shelter comes with necessary tent pegs and integrated sand pouches for added stability.
Can I set this up by myself?
Yes, the lightweight design is intended to be easily set up by a single person in just a few minutes.
Troubleshooting
Shelter is unstable in wind
Ensure all sand pouches are filled to capacity and that the tent pegs are inserted at a 45-degree angle pointing away from the shelter.
Difficulty folding back into the bag
Follow the original fold lines carefully; ensure all air is pressed out of the fabric before rolling, and verify no poles are protruding.
Fabric looks dull or dusty
Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can degrade the UV-resistant coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup follows standard pop-up or lightweight frame procedures: unfold the frame on level ground, extend the support poles, and secure the base using the provided pegs or sand pouches. Ensure all tension points are even to avoid fabric drooping.
Compatibility is universal for outdoor ground surfaces, including sand, grass, and packed dirt. For care, always shake off excess sand before packing. If the tent is used in damp conditions, ensure it is fully air-dried in a shaded area before folding it into its carry bag to prevent mildew growth. Clean the fabric with a soft brush and mild, non-detergent soap if necessary.
