• - When drying your tent, avoid using heaters as it can cause shrinkage, affecting the internal frame size. Plan for this when setting up your tent to dry. We recommend air drying it to maintain its shape and size.
• - Long exposure to the sun's UV rays can damage canvas fabrics, so using a tent fly is recommended for extended periods of time.
• - When placing or removing the tent over a frame, always have zippers unzipped to prevent too much stress on the zipper.
• - Mildew can be removed with a bleach solution or a mixture of white vinegar, mild detergent, and water. Bleach can weaken the fabric, so use it with caution.
• - To clean the tent, always brush off dry dirt or mud with a soft brush. When washing the tent, use only mild, all-natural detergents and scrub lightly.
• - Never store a damp or wet tent, as this can cause mildew. Always let the tent dry naturally before storing.
• - If your tent has leaking seams, use a tent seam sealer or buy a fly to stop the leaks.
• - Keep wood stoves and lanterns away from the canvas to avoid scorching or burning.
• - Be aware of setting up your tent under trees that emit resins. If possible, avoid this or use a rain fly.
