THE ‘PERFECT’ TENSION
THE ‘perfect’ tension
How do you measure the ‘perfect’ tension?
If you are still able to move a strap of 2meters,
10cm back and forth with your ngers, the tension
is ‘perfect’. If you cannot do that, you have put too
much tension on the tent.
Warning: Never put too much tension on the tent!
It can dammage your tent. Never use straps wit
ratchets
You can also put extra side clamps in the line of the welded seams. It is in any case always a good idea to
put the clamps at the end of the welded seams, it will give you less ‘wrinkles’.
