SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Make sure you stake the shelter (with the 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. After staking the corners return and stake any other
stake loop positions if applicable. Always place your shelter a safe distance from your campfire - unstaked shelters placed upwind of the fire can
be blown into the fire.

Shelters placed downwind of the fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your shelter.
The frame system on this shelter 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 shelter at home before taking it into the wilderness.
ATERPROOFING YOUR SHELTER:
W
Texsport shelters are made form coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all shelter fabrication, can
cause water leakage where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the shelter will leak. Every new
shelter 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.
SHELTER STAKES:
All shelters should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your shelter 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 shelter if
stored with the shelter. In extremely hard soil a steel rod can be used to make the starter hole.
c. Skewer stakes: Lightweight, but less holding power than 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 shelter bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the
dead man method). Shelters can also be secured to snow skis, or poles which are stuck into the snow.
STORAGE:
Shelters should be stored dry and loosely folded, away from heat. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in shelters. Never store
directly on concrete, as moisture and chemicals in the 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 SHELTER LAST?
Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:
a. A nylon shelter which is left erected all summer may last only one or two seasons, as the sun’s ultra-violet rays damage nylon under
continual exposure.
b. Never store a shelter wet or damp, as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may damage
other parts of the shelter (i.e. zipper tapes).
c. Avoid spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on shelter fabric as they may be harmful.
REPAIR:
• Adhesive-backed rip-stop tape is recommended for repairing tears.
• Small holes can be sealed using nylon seam sealant.
WARNING:
Texsport shelter 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 SHELTER.
