Texsport 02855 User Manual

WARNING:

Texsport arbor 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 ARBOr.

RBOR STAKES:

A

ll arbors should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your arbor are effective for most conditions; however, specialized stakes

A
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 arbor if

stored with the arbor. 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 arbor bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the

dead man method). Arbors can also be secured to snow skis or poles which are stuck into the snow.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Item 02855

Wyoming Arbor

Thank you for buying a Texsport Authentic Adventure Gear Product. We hope you enjoy your new arbor and that it will serve you with
many years of camping pleasure. We encourage you to read and understand each step of the set-up instructions prior to working with
the arbor.

Do not apply excessive force to this product.

PARTS LIST:

A - 4 Sets of Steel Leg Poles

STORAGE:

Arbors should be stored dry and loosely folded, away from heat. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in arbors. 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 ARBOR LAST?

Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:
a. A nylon arbor which is left erected all summer may last only one or two seasons, as the sun’s ultra-violet rays damage the

nylon.

b. Never store a arbor wet or damp, as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may

damage other parts of the arbor (i.e. zipper tapes).

c. Avoid spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on arbor 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 arbor (with the arbors 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 rotation. Make sure the
arbor remains tight. Always place your arbor a safe distance from your campfire - unstaked arbors placed upwind of the fire can be
blown into the fire. Arbors placed downwind of the fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight
fabrics of your arbor. The frame system on this arbor was designed to collapse during high winds. By collapsing in the wind, the
frame will not break; thus offering you years of continued use. We recommend that you practice setting up your arbor at home
before taking it out into the wilderness.

WATERPROOFING YOUR ARBOR:

Texsport arbors are made from coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all arbor fabrication, can
cause water leakage where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the arbor will leak. Every
new arbor 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.
