CONDENSATION:
The human body gives off a considerable amount of moisture during the night. If this moisture cannot escape from the tent, it will
condense on the inner surface, especially during cold weather.
a. Coated Nylon Tents: Condensation may build up on the inner surface and make it wet. This does not mean the tent leaks.
Rain droplets may knock much condensation loose, which may feel like leakage or misting. If
windows are left open, this condition will be reduced.
. Breathable Tents: A breathable roof with a top fly will greatly reduce condensation.

t
ZIPPERS:
If zippers stick, lubricate with silicone. Never force a zipper which has material caught in it, as this will bend the slider and prevent
the zipper from closing. Continual use in a sandy environment can cause the slider to erode and fail to close the zipper.
STORAGE:
Tents should be stored dry and loosely folded, away from heat. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in tents. Never store
directly on concrete, as moisture and chemicals in concrete may damage the nylon.
WASHING:
Hand wash with a sponge, using soap such as Ivory Flakes. Never use detergent or washing machines as they may damage the
coating or seams.
HOW LONG WILL A NYLON TENT LAST?
Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:
a. A nylon tent which is left erected all summer may last only one or two seasons, as the sun’s ultra-violet rays damage nylon
continual exposure.
b. Never store a tent wet or damp, as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may
damage other parts of the tent (i.e. zipper tapes).
c. Avoid spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on tent fabric as they may be harmful.
REPAIR:
Adhesive-backed rip-stop tape is recommended for repairing tears.

SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Make sure you stake the tent (with the tents stakes included) in windy weather, or if you anticipate afternoon winds coming up while
you are away from your campsite. Stake one corner, then stake each consecutive corner in a clockwise rations. Make sure the tent
floor remains tight. After staking the corners return and stake any other stake loop positions if applicable. Always place your tent a
safe distance from your campfire - unstaked tents placed upwind of the fire can be blown into the fire. Tents placed downwind of the
fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your tent. The frame system on this tent
was designed to collapse during high winds. By collapsing in the wind the frame will not break, offering you years of continued use.
We recommend that you practice setting your tent at home before taking it into the wilderness.
WATERPROOFING YOUR TENT:
Texsport tents are made form coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all tent fabrication, can
cause water leakage where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the tent will leak. Every
new tent needs to be seam sealed to make it water tight. We recommend using Texsport Spray Waterproofing/Seam Sealer which
may be found at your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.
WARNING:
Texsport tent fabrics are flame retardant treated per C.P.A.I.-84 specification. However, for your safety, we recommend that NO
OPEN FLAME BE USED IN OR NEAR YOUR TENT.
TENT STAKES:
All tents should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your tent are effective for most conditions; however, specialized stakes are
recommended in certain cases:
a. Sand Stakes: Long broad stakes designed to hold in loose sand.
b. Steel Stakes: Most effective in hard, rocky or frozen soil. These can rust and their sharp edges could damage the tent if
stored with the tent. In extremely hard soil a steel rod can be used to make the starter hole.
c. Skewer Stakes: Lightweight, but less holding power that the standard stakes.
d. Snow Stakes: The most common method is to bury objects with a great deal of surface area in the snow i.e. branches,
aluminum pie plates, stuff sacks or tent bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the
dead man method). Tents can also be secured to snow skis or poles which are stuck into the snow.
