SEAM SEALING:

We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor

SeamGrip

®

.

• Work in a fully ventilated area.

• Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and

penetration of the sealer.

• Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed

to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on

uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no need to seal

the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both

floor and fly seams and reinforcements.

• Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Several thin layers

will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow manufacture's instructions.

STAKING:

All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the

tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate.

• Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you

to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on properly and that the seams

align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out

loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you

don’t stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if the door zippers

can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin,

drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook catches it. Tie a piece of

cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if

needed.

• With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent

connection points and stake down any pull outs.

• Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this

could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself.

Staking in special conditions:

• Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil.

• Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel stakes

separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust stains, which might

damage your tent.

• Snow. Use “dead man” anchors. Tie tent to buried objects (branches, tent bags, or

stuff sacks filled with snow; or tie tents to snow shoes, skis, or ski poles, which are

stuck in the snow.

GUY LINES:

Do not depend upon staking alone to keep your tent secure during high winds. Most

tent models have built-in loops or rings at optimal guy out locations. It’s important

to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent

during exceptional weather.

• Make sure that the top fly is securely attached to the tent frame. Ties, hook and

loop, or dog-bones and elastic loops are sewn to the underside of the fly for this

purpose.

• Attach parachute cord to the loops/rings and stake them in the ground three or

four feet from the edge of the tent. If staked too close to the tent, wind can cause

an upward pull that could dislodge the stakes.

• If your tent does not have loops or rings for guy outs, attach guy lines 1/3 to

1/2 of the way up the framework on the main sidewalls. This enables the

guy line to support the lower section of the pole, while the upper pole can

flex and deflect wind gusts. It is best to run two cords at an angle from the

side of the guy out. This prevents all movement, except toward the anchor.

The guy lines will work together through opposition. See illustrations below:

CONDENSATION & VENTING:

Through perspiration and breathing, an adult gives off about a pint of water

overnight. If it cannot escape, the water vapor condenses to liquid. Most

often, water found in the tent is a result of this condensation rather than

from the tent leaking. Condensation often forms where the sleeping bag

touches the side of the tent, under the sleeping pad, or on coated surfaces

such as the door flaps. A tent’s double wall construction allows the vapor to

escape through the roof to the outside, keeping the inside of the tent dry.

Leave the windows partially open at night to provide cross ventilation and

further reduce condensation. Cross ventilation becomes more important in

very humid or extremely cold conditions when the permeable roof is less

effective. The features that enhance ventilation are windows, short-sheeted

flys (bottom venting), roof vents, and High/Low venting doors. These are

specific to each tent model.

Given the importance of proper ventilation, We use High/Low venting in most

of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer,

moist air up and out through the high vents. High/Low venting is

accomplished within the inner tent via roof vents, doors and windows. It is

important to vent the vestibule. Unvented, it can inhibit airflow into the tent.

Our tent vestibules profit from the ability to “short sheet” by means of

zippers & toggles and staked vestibule pull outs create a bellowing effect.

Most of our tents are equipped with a High/Low venting door. This design

allows increased airflow into the tent from the bottom. Open the low

vent/window to admit cool air, allowing the warmer air out through the

high roof vents. When rain and wind prevent the low vent from being

opened, the high door vent can still be used. Fly overhangs or vestibules

protect it.

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT:

Ultraviolet light damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to

sunlight. While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is

susceptible to UV degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester

to become brittle and tear easily. We recommend that you use the rain fly

even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier

and less expensive to replace if damaged. UV damage can be minimized by

erecting tents on shaded sites with low exposure to direct sunlight.

GENERAL POLE CARE:

• Never let tent poles snap together as this can damage the pole end.

• Do not drop tent or pole bags on their ends and do not bounce a tent bag

on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and

damage the pole ends.

• The aluminum frame may bend slightly and take a “set” through usage; this

normally does not affect the performance of the frame.

GENERAL TENT CARE:

• Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones.

• Try not to wear shoes inside your tent.

• Use a ground cloth whenever possible.

• Do not keep food inside a tent. Hungry critters will chew through tent fabric in

search of food.

STORAGE:

• Make sure the tent is completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool

place. To prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This

allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe.

• Ideally, the tent poles should be stored in their fully assembled state. This

reduces the tension on the shock cord, prolonging its life.

• The tent bag should be used only as a carry sack and not for storage.

COLOR TRANSFER:

• Do to the nature of tent fabrics, color can transfer from darker to lighter

fabrics when the two fabrics are in contact over time when wet, damp or

exposed to the combination of moisture and high heat. This does not effect

the tent's performance. To prevent / minimize color transfer, always make

sure your tent is completely dry prior to packing and storage.

CLEANING:

• Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid

hand soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry

completely. Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they

can damage the tent’s protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure

the tent is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such

as the seams, before storing or mold / mildew are likely to grow.

• Clean the tent poles with a cloth and lubricate them with silicone spray. This is

especially necessary after ocean side camping to remove salt spray so the

poles don’t corrode or stay gritty.

• Clean the zippers with a quick dip in water and then dry them off. This is

especially important if you’ve been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If

you don’t clean the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth

will become inoperable.
