CARE INSTRUCTIONS

SEASONING CANVAS

Before using your tent for the first time, it should be ‘seasoned’ to make it fully waterproof. This involves erecting the tent (see assembly instructions), soaking it completely with water by either rain or hose and letting the tent dry. It is the drying process that waterproofs the tent.

Ensure all windows and doors are closed. This will allow the fabric and stitching to shrink and take up. Some water may wick through the stitching during this process. If any wicking occurs in the future, rub the stitching with a wax stick which will seal the area (available at most camping stores).

Repeat the wetting and drying process 2 or 3 times. The tent should now be waterproof. Allow tent to dry completely, clean before packing away.

Always make sure that your tent is completely dry before packing away. Any moisture in the fabric will cause it to mildew and dramatically reduce its life. Mildew fabric or fabric damaged by mildew is not covered under warranty.

Never store a wet and/or soiled tent, as mildew and/or corrosion will form within a few days.

This condition is not covered by factory warranty.
