TIP - The tension strap can move back and forth ten centimetres or so for the
perfect tension.
TIP - Don’t overtighten the tension straps as this can damage your tent. Never use
a ratchet for this.
Carry out the following checks once the tent has been standing for half a day or so and carry them
out regularly for long-term assemblies.
» Are the pegs still anchored well?
» Are the tension straps still under sufficient tension?
» Have any water pockets formed on top of the tent?
TAKING THE TENT DOWN
Taking the tent down goes smoothest if you pay attention to the following points.
» Take the tent down during dry weather and put a groundsheet down to protect the canvas
against dirt.
» Loosen the tension straps and take down the poles. Begin with the centre poles and finish with
the side and corner poles.
TIP - to remove the pegs more easily
» Take a pole of around two metres and tie
a loop around the pole.
» Attach the loop to the peg and pull on the
top of the pole.
