waterproofing &
leak prevention
plot preparation +
pitch perfection
achieving
pitch perfection
Ensure your plot is flat and bump
free, uneven surfaces or hill tops
may apply too much uneven
tension and result in damage.
Frequently check that the pegs
are secured tightly and have not
become loose, this is particularly
important after wet weather as
the grounds will become soft.
Avoid pitching your tent under
trees unless you have a tent
protector cover or shelter.
Air your tent out daily to increase
the ventilation. This can be done
by opening the doors, windows
(and if applicable) unzipping
the groundsheet and rolling
up the sides.
Pitching your tent on a
groundsheet protector will not
only guide you when erecting
your tent, but it will also protect
the groundsheet from dirt,
water and condensation.
If you spot any marks, dirt or
mildew spots, tackle them right
away to prevent the issue from
staining or spreading.
Before securing down the
pegs, zip all doors closed.
Kinks and creases in the fabric
suggest that the tension in the
tent is uneven and can result in
damage. When pitching your tent,
ensure that the poles are straight
and guy ropes are adjusted
accordingly.
The groundsheet zip must be
concealed and hidden by the
skirt of the tent.
On the first occasion that your tent
experiences a heavy rainfall, although
unlikely, you may find small leaks around
the seams of the fabric. Do not worry, as
this is normal!
Once it has fully dried out, the cotton will
naturally shrink and close any holes to
ensure your tent becomes completely
watertight.
To completely avoid this when on your
camping adventure, you can erect the
tent in your garden (if possible) and hose
it down with water.

It is VITAL that your tent is only stored once it is bone dry. If you store your tent whilst it's
damp or wet, it may be affected by mildew. This can result in deterioration of the tents' fabric.
It's perfectly fine to take down your tent whilst it is still wet. However, you MUST ensure to
hang it up to dry within 48 hours. This can be achieved by hanging the tent on a washing line,
or equivalent, and leaving it to air dry. Separating the groundsheet will speed up this process.
