General Use
Please be aware to always store your new tent away bone dry. If it is not bone dry, please remove
it from the bag and dry it before string away as failure to do so could lead to mould or damage and
would invalidates your warranty.
• Please keep these instructions, the sales receipt and, if possible, the carton with the inner packaging.
• Always check the contents thoroughly before using the tent for the first time.
• This product is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instructions concerning the use of the product by a person that is responsible for their safety.
• By ignoring the safety instructions the manufacturer can not be hold responsible for any damage or injury
caused by the product.
• Make sure that the product is stored in a dry environment and that it is fully dry before storing it away.
• Please familiarize yourself with the tent before you go on your first trip. We recommend a test set-up before
your trip.
• Install your tent on a clean and even surface. Remove stones and branches to avoid possible damage to your
tent and make a note about the direction and strength of the wind and always try to build your tent up in a
wind-protected area.
• Avoid setting up your tent under trees as tree sap and other debris can permanently mark or damage your
tent.
• Whilst this bell tent is a fully breathable fabric it may some times suffer from a small amount of condensation.
This is when condensed water forms on the coldest surface of the tent which can sometimes be inside.
Condensation is often mistaken for leaking and is not a reason for complaint or a fault of the awning.
• This tent is not built for permanent pitching or commercial use.
• Please try to avoid any snow load. Whilst the roof of this bell tent is very steep to help ensure more than
adequate water and snow run off the ‘sticky’ nature of snow can sometimes cause an issue. Never leave the
tent unattended for extended periods when it may snow as this can lead to snow build up, which in turn can
lead to an issue with your tent.

Contents and Tools
Details on the contents of your bell Tent, plus tools required.
Tools Required and Recommended (not supplied with your tent)
The only tool you will need to pitch your tent is a hammer, the type of hammer is down to your personal
preference, but we recommend using a wooden mallet style of hammer as this can make it easier to drive your
steel pegs into the ground and the wooden head causes less damage to your steel pegs.
We would also recommend the use of a peg puller to help pull the pegs out of the ground. Whilst not required
this can make it easier to pull the pegs out of the ground particularly when the ground is hard.

• Take the centre pole (making sure the “D” ring is at the
top end) through the door, find the centre of the roof
which is indicated by the main “cone” in the roof and
push the pole vertical/upright until it is 90 degrees to
the ground as shown in the diagram to the left.
• Then take the door ‘A’ frame pole inside the tent and
carefully place the pole in the doorway. The feet
on the poles should sit inside their pockets on the
groundsheet (as shown in the diagram to the left)
and the top of the door ‘A’ frame pole has a guide pin,
which goes though an eyelet located at the top of the
door (again as shown in diagram to the left).
Pitching Instructions
Details on how to pitch your bell tent.
Step 1
• Clear away any debris (stones/sticks etc) from your desired camping
location trying to avoid tree’s where possible due to the sap and
other droppings.
• Unpack your tent and move to the side all accessories leaving
you with the main canvas and groundsheet which if not already
attached please do so now.
• Move the tent to your desired location and rotate making sure the
door is facing in the desired direction as shown in the diagram to
the left.
• Peg down the groundsheet and the side wall (as shown in diagram to the left ) using
the pegs supplied. making sure to pull the groundsheet tight as you go around the
tent.
• Repeat this until every pegging point oin the groudnsheet has been pegged down.

Step 4
Step 5
• Now zip the door shut completely.
• Then start pegging the guy ropes around the side of the
tent as shown in the diagram to the lft.
• You start with any one and move around the circle one at
a time.
• Taking one of the supplied pegs pull out the ropes in a
straight line coming away from the tent, inline with the
seams of the roof (as shown in the diagram to the left).
Ensure enough tension is applied to pull the side wall
vertical and hold the roof tight.
• Once all of the pegs are in, it is now time to adjust the guy ropes (as shown in diagram above) to create
the desired tension. Make sure that the tension all the way around the tent is symmetrical to avoid any
overcompensation. You are aiming for a vertical side wall.
• Place the plastic rain cap on the guide pin of the door ‘A’ frame pole in the doorway (as shown in diagram
above), as this will help reduce any water from entering the tent.
• Your tent should now look crease free and ready for use..

Storage
If the product is not going to be used for an extended period (such as a winter period) we recommend that it
is carefully folded away and stored in a clean, dry and free from damp location.
Care and Cleaning Instructions
Never use and harsh or abrasive cleaners or brushes when cleaning this product as the frame and fabric may
be damaged when doing so. Never fold and put the product away when wet as this can trap water in the
product, which can lead to mould and mildew build up.
• Mould : As with any tent and been packed away wet/damp over time this will cause mould to grow which
is not covered by the warranty. Always be sure to pack away your tent bone dry to prevent this from
happening.
• Cleaning : As with any tent you will be sure to get mud splattered onto it at some point. The best method to
get it off is to wait until it is fully dried and brush it off with a soft brush, as if you use a damp cloth this can
just spread the mud around and rub it into the canvas. To clean the groundsheet this is easier if you unzip
the canvas first and do it separately. You can wash it then with a hose (not powerful) and brush any excess
away and then allow to dry. If there are stubborn stains or dirt on the tent, then we recommend using a
specific cotton fabric tent cleaner and a soft cleaning cloth. Heavy soiling should be allowed to dry and
brushed with a soft brush beforehand..
• UV Degredation : UV degradation happens to all materials that are used outdoors. Eventually it will cause
the material to go brittle, fade or change colour. The time it takes to do this will differ depending upon how
often you use it and what the weather is like when you do. It is a natural process which affects all materials
used outdoors. This tent has an advanced fabric that is coated to help prevent this process, but it does not
stop it completely, it only helps slow it down. You can help protect against this degradation by regular care
and proofing of the tent. The tent should be regularly cleaned and re-proofed to ensure that mould and
mildew do not build up and damage the tent. Weathering due to excessive UV degradation is not covered
by the warranty..
• Storage : Please store your tent dry. If you must take your tent down when it is wet, you must unpack it
within 2-3 days and allow it to dry out thoroughly before packing it away. This is to ensure that mould and
mildew do not build up as this can lead to damage on your tent and is not covered under your warranty.

Usage and Weathering
Details on how to best use your bell tent.
Weathering
The seams on this tent are fully weatherproof, but do need to go though the weathering process. The
weathering process is where your tent becomes watertight.
Be sure to weather your tent before you go away as with cotton tents they may leak a little but don’t worry this
can happen but don’t take our word for it, check out the Camping & Caravanning clubs write up about this by
following the url below :
https://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/helpandadvice/gettingstarted/newtotents/tentfabrics/
Once it has been rained on then dries the shrinkage should cause the fabric to naturally close around any
little holes to ensure this does not happen again.
General Usage
• Fire and Ventilation
• If using gas or other combustion appliances additional ventilation is recommended at all times. Ensure that
you have the ventilation open to allow adequate air flow.
• Do not place hot appliances near the walls, roof or curtains.
• Always observe the safety instructions for these appliances.
• Never allow children to play near hot appliances.
• Keep all exits clear.
• Make sure you know the fire precaution arrangements on the site.
• Make sure ventilation openings are open all the time to avoid suffocation.
• Zips, zippers and the wind
• Zippers sometimes have to endure extreme tension caused by wind, incorrect tent set ups or pressures
caused by people or objects leaning into the tent. In order to limit damage to any zippers we recommend
the following :
• Close all zippers before setting up your tent.
• Handle them with care.
• To protect the zippers, treat them with silicones once in a while.
• Verify zippers before setting up your tent as there is no insurance on them after use.
• Water Marks
• The fabric on this tent is a 100% natural cotton fabric. Whilst this is one of the very best fabrics available due
to its natural nature, you can get water marks on the fabric when it gets wet. These water marks are simply
a process where the amount of water that is soaked up by the fabric differs across the fabric. This then leads
to the fabric looking darker in some parts than others. This is a natural process and when the fabric dries
out they will disappear.
• These water marks will not affect the performance of your tent at all and are a natural occurrence and will
differ on every tent. They will also fade over time with the natural wear of the material these water marks
will even out over time and eventually not appear at all.

Permanent Pitch
Your Bell tent is sold as a touring tent and not a permanent pitch tent, so by pitching the tent permanently
you are voiding your warranty, but some users do like to permanently pitch them and for this reason alone we
have included the details below, but we do not recommend permanently pitching your bell tent.
Extended Use
Your Bell tent is produced from a premium 100% cotton material and as such can be used for extended
periods. By using your bell tent for extended periods you may (depends upon weather, location of pitch,
ground conditions and more) speed up the wear and tear process, but by following the guidelines below you
can keep this to a minimum.
• Mould : The biggest issue when using a Bell tent for extended periods is the build up of mildew and mould.
Whilst the fabric has been treated against this, it does not stop it happening completely, only limits it and
thus if the tent is used over an extended period it is best practice to check the tent for an dirt,mould and
mildew when pitched. It is recommended to check your bell tent every 2 weeks and brush all dirt and spots
off during this check.
• Pitch and Ground Location : If you are going to pitch the bell tent for an extended time then where you
pitch it becomes important. Never pitch for extended use underneath trees as the dirt, debris and sap from
the trees will fall onto your tent and start mould and mildew growth. Sloping ground also increases mould
and mildew growth as the slope will mean that dirt/debris/water etc. will run against the bell tent and this
can speed up mould and mildew growth. Coastal settings or pitches that are close to salt water and sea
breezes can also speed up mould and mildew growth, due to the salt in the air. If this is the case you may
find that you have to check the tent more often.
• Proofing : The resistance and protection from water on your bell tent is permanent and should not never
need to be re-applied even if the tent is being used for extended periods. If for any reason you do have to
apply waterproofing (like a seam sealer), then we recommend that you only apply it where you need it as
apply an aftermarket waterproof will inhibit the breathabililty of the fabric.
• UV Degradation : As stated before UV degradation will happen and is a natural process. The fabric is
protected against this, but this protection will eventually wear out over a number of years. By using the tent
for extended periods this will still happen, but may be speed up depending upon the weather and location
the tent is used during the extended pitch times.
• Colour Fading : Colour fading is actually part of the UV degradation process but does not affect the
performance of your Bell tent, it only affects the colour and look of the bell tent. When used for extended
periods this colour fading will happen in a shorter time, but the time will completely depend upon the
weather at the time, the location of the pitch and how the tent is looked after during the extended pitching.

Maintenance
Your Bell tent is produced from a premium 100% cotton material and as such, requires very little maintenance
above the storage, care and cleaning details shown on page 6. As long as you follow the recommendations
listed in the storage, care and cleaning section you should never need additional maintenance or repairs.
If you do find for any reason you have to/wish to do further maintenance or repairs to your bell tent we have
the following recommendations :
• Proofing : The resistance and protection from water on this fabric is permanent and should never need
to be re-proofing. If you do find you need to reproof due to damage then we recommend following these
rules :
• Only use a dedicated 100% cotton re-proofing spray. Most re-proofing sprays are for use on polyester
based materials and these will potentially damage your bell tent. If they do not damage your bell tent
they will degrade the breathability of the fabric, so always use a dedicated 100% cotton spray.
• Only ever reproof the are you need to. Even if you are using a dedicated cotton re-proofer the use of an
aftermarket reproof will degrade the breathability of the fabric, so only reproof the area you need to (for
example if you have an area patched due to damage and find that weathering does not stop a leak, then
just reproof that area not the entire tent).
• Seams : if you are re-proofing a seam only reproof the seam and not the area around the seams
• Repairs : As the fabric on your Bell tent is 100% cotton then it can be repaired or patched. We recommend
using a professional canvas repair centre. This is to ensure the highest quality work and to help ensure
that the same grade material is used along with the correct type of cotton (one that will weather correctly
and form a waterproof seal afterwards). If the repair has been done correctly you will need to re-weather
your bell tent as described on page 6 to allow the repair to bed in and the cotton thread etc. to form the
waterproof seal afterwards. If you find that you still have issues after weathering then first try seam sealer
on the seams/sewn lines of the repair before using a re-proofing spray. Only if the seam sealer does not
work should you try a re-proofing spray.
