Big Agnes Deep Creek Tarp Manual

Cut here to remove. Do Not Tear!
Deep Creek Tarp SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pick a site, look for an open space adequate for your tarp.
2. Pay attention to the wind and weather so the tarp conguration you choose is
optimally positioned to keep out the undesirable elements.
3. Remove contents from carry bag. Spread the tarp out on ground and assemble
the two tarp poles.
4. Stake out the guylines at the front and back corners loosely.
5. Insert the pole tip of one of the poles into the grommet at the corner and
adjust the height.
6. Adjust the tension of the guyline.
7. Go to the opposite side and repeat points 5 and 6 with the other pole.
8. Stake out the rest of the guylines and adjust the tension to keep your tarp taut.
Helpful Hints:
1. Set up is much easier if you have an extra set of hands.
2. Be creative, there are multiple tarp congurations depending on the landscape.
You can use trees, picnic tables, rocks, cars, oars, etc. for anchor points or ad-
ditional high points.
3. Make sure your tarp is taut to prevent water pooling.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP
• Our tents are easy to set up but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for
the rst time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
• Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent oor.
• We recommend staking out all corners, vestibules and guylines to increase space and ventila-
tion. Securely staking out your tent and all guyline is crucial to maintaining the structural
integrity of your tent.
• Hang onto your stu sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.
• Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.
• Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
TENT CARE
Storage
Always make sure your tent is dry and free of debris before storing. Fold and roll your tent a
dierent way each time to avoid permanent creases. Store in a cool, dry place. Never store your
tent in hot temperatures (such as a car trunk or attic space), as it will damage the material coat-
ings. Storing your tent damp can result in mildew growth, which may cause your tent to smell,
leak or delaminate. Mildew damage is not covered under warranty.
Cleaning
For light cleaning, you can sponge the tent with warm water. If it’s necessary to wash the entire
tent, always use cleaners recommended specically for tents. We recommend McNett Mira-
zyme cleaner, or Nikwax Tech Wash. Do not dry clean or machine-wash your tent. Detergents
and dry cleaning solvents will damage the fabric and ruin waterproong. Never use hot water,
bleach, liquid detergents or dishwashing liquids.
Seam Sealing
Seam tape alone is durable enough to prevent water leakage. Any seams that have been taped
do not need to be seam sealed with a liquid sealer unless you want extra protection. Make sure
the seam-sealer is completely dry before re-packing your tent. Damage caused by misapplica-
tion may void warranty.
Zippers
Keeping your zippers clean will help keep the coils and sliders from wearing out. If lled with
dirt, vacuum or brush zippers before storing tent. Do not apply any balms or lubricants to your
zippers.
Repairs and Warranty
All Big Agnes tents are guaranteed against manufacturing or material defect. We do not
warranty products damaged from normal wear and tear, alteration made by owner, misuse,
accidents or damages caused by uses other than intended. Damage due to misuse, normal
wear and tear, or improper care may be repaired, at the discretion of Big Agnes, at a reasonable
charge. Tents returned for repair must be clean and free of debris.
