The steel poles have been hot dipped galvanized to provide long life with minimum
corrosion. Salt, sand, dirt and water are the enemy of any steel products and zip.
Make sure the poles and zips are always clean and dry before storage. When the poles
and zips have been used in damp, dusty. Sandy or salty conditions, they must be
cleaned and coated with a thin film of oil or silicone based liquid spray before
storage. Many of the frame poles are connected with pole joiners, which are designed
to keep them organized and allow quick assembly of the pole frame. Over stretching
or dropping the poles will easily damage the pole joiners and this may not be
covered under warranty. Please ensure to handle the poles carefully; especially when
unpacking and packing away.
PEGGING
Please ensure your tent pegs are secured into the ground before fully extending your
ceiling poles. Please remember, any excessive pulling force may result in stitching,
fabric, zip or mesh damage
CONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural occurrence in cold weather. In confined areas like
curtains and tents the body releases more moisture than the canvas can dispose of.
To minimize the chance of condensation, we recommend slightly opening the window of
the tent to enable airflow on cold nights.
MOLD
Most molds need 24-48 hours of moisture to begin to grow. Therefore if a suitable
material in your camper/tent is wet for more than 24 hours then you run the risk of
mold starting to grow. Many species of mold can begin to grow from humidity alone if
the humidity stays high for long enough. In fact the humidity only needs to be
higher than 55% before some molds can begin to grow. Please see below for the most
popular causes of mold:
● A relative Humidity of roughly 50% or higher
● Moisture
● Damp or Dusty Conditions
● Lack of Ventilation
