The provided document is an instruction booklet for the "Galaxy Tent," a large canvas tent designed for glamping, camping, and festival adventures.
Function Description:
The Galaxy Tent is a large, bell-shaped canvas tent intended for outdoor shelter and accommodation. It is designed to be set up and taken down for temporary use, offering a comfortable and spacious environment for users. The tent is marketed for "glamping adventures," suggesting a focus on comfort and style beyond traditional camping.
Important Technical Specifications (derived from content):
- Size: Described as a "LARGE TENT," implying significant dimensions.
- Material: Made of canvas, which is noted to shrink and become fully waterproof after its initial exposure to moisture.
- Structure: Features a main tent strut, wall frame supports, and guy lines for stability.
- Components: The kit includes a tent bag, Galaxy tent, stake bag, base stakes (small), guy line stakes (large), guy line bundles, tent strut and wall frame bag, main tent strut, and wall frame supports.
Usage Features:
- Assembly:
- Requires a level ground for setup.
- Can be assembled by one person, but more people make it easier due to its size.
- Involves spreading the tent symmetrically, locating the door, and rotating it to the desired position.
- Base stakes are inserted through straps around the tent's base.
- The main tent strut is extended and placed in the center of the tent, under the sunshade, to raise the roof. It is designed to hold itself upright on level ground.
- Wall frame supports are assembled and placed into sleeves around the walls inside the tent.
- Guy lines are unbundled, looped through straps (which follow the tent seams) outside the tent, and then secured with guy line stakes.
- Guy lines need to be consistently tight and placed at an appropriate, consistent, and predictable distance from the tent to ensure symmetry and full erection.
- A warning is given that stakes and guy lines can be difficult to see at night, emphasizing the need for consistent placement.
- Disassembly and Stowing:
- The process is the reverse of assembly.
- Involves removing guy lines (and bundling them if dry), guy line stakes, wall frame supports (collapsing and stowing them), and base stakes.
- The main strut is grabbed in the middle, moved out through the door, collapsed, and stowed.
- The tent body is folded into a rectangle no longer than 4 ft wide by selecting two opposite sides and making two folds per side.
- Once folded, the tent is rolled from one side, compressing it to remove excess air.
- Tent bundling straps are used to cinch and compress the tent for stowing in the tent bag.
Maintenance Features:
- Waterproofing: The canvas material is designed to become fully waterproof after its first exposure to moisture (e.g., morning dew), which may initially cause a "very slight leak." This is described as normal and expected.
- Drying: A critical maintenance instruction is to NEVER STOW THE TENT WHEN IT IS WET. It must be completely dry as soon as possible after use (camping, glamping, festival adventure) to prevent damage. This is highlighted as a "PRO TIP" for stowing for more than two days.
- Care: The tent is described as "heavy because its built to last," implying durability, but this "requires proper care and maintenance." The booklet states, "A clean, dry tent is a happy tent!"
- Support: The manufacturer, Maverick Trading Post Inc., expresses pride in their tents and encourages users to provide feedback on issues, complaints, or ideas for improvements.
