pitching your luna bell tent
Unpack your tent and lay it out with
the groundsheet floor facing. Make
sure the ground is flat and free of any
sharp objects. Find the door and
rotate to face desired direction.
Locate the centre pole and bring inside of
the tent. Push the pole upwards to the cone
(this will be the end with the integrated
loop) and erect it vertically; ensuring it's
located at the centre points of both the
floor and roof.
Keeping the tent fabric on top of the
base, stretch the groundsheet to form
a perfect circle. Locate elastic rings
and use smaller pegs to fix your base
down. Spread the ropes and use the
sliders to shorten each rope to
approx. 1m in length.
Connect together each rib (these are
the fibreglass straight poles broken
down into three parts). One by one,
take each erected rib and insert into
the pockets located at the top of each
wall seam.

Secure the full length of the rib to the
tent wall by using the velcro to tightly
hold into place.
Slot each rib foot firmly on the
groundsheet; at the crease point of
where the floor ends and wall begins.

Thread the flexi door pole through the
sleeve on the door canopy.
Slot the feet of this pole into the black
pockets on either side of the door.

pitching your luna bell tent

Now it's time to dress your perfectly
pitched Luna Bell Tent... We find
that layering accessories in
triangular groupings works a treat!
It's now time to relax and enjoy your
new home away from home. Make
use of your Luna Bell's ample
internal space with lots of cosy
indoor bedding and furniture.

pitching your luna bell tent
Zip the door closed and locate the
thicker pegs. One by one, peg the guy
ropes down at least 1m distance from
the tent.
Once all pegs are down, firmly pull on
each rope and adjust sliders to create
an arch in the wall ribs. Apply the
same tension with each rope to
create a crease free, rounded finish.

packing down your luna bell tent
Take poles and pegs out of the tent
and if necessary give them a clean
and towel dry before packing. Keep
the canvas on top of the groundsheet
and not in contact with the grass.
Bring the curved edge back on itself
so that you are left with a rectangle,
and then fold it in half lengthways.
Without standing on the canvas, fold
the tent in half and back on itself so
that it resembles a half moon shape.
Smoothing and releasing any trapped
air as you go, begin tightly rolling the
tent forwards. Then, use the straps to
secure the rolled up tent together and
place into the provided tent bag.
It is VITAL that your tent is only stored when it is bone dry. If you store your tent
whilst it's damp or wet, it may be affected by mildew.
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.

maintenance & tlc
achieving pitch perfection
once it's up...
• Ensure your spot is flat and bump-free, uneven surfaces or hill tops may apply
too much uneven tension and result in damage.
• Avoid pitching your tent under trees unless you have a tent protector cover.
• 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.
• Before securing down the pegs, zip all doors closed.
Kinks and creases in the fabric suggest that the tents tension is uneven and
can result in damage which in turn will reduce water repellency. When pitching
your tent, ensure that the poles are straight and guy ropes adjusted.
• The groundsheet zip must be concealed and hidden by the skirt of the tent.
• 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.
• 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.
• If you spot any marks, dirt or mildew spots, tackle them right away to prevent
the issue from staining or spreading.

waterproofing & leak prevention
packing away & storing your tent
cleaning your tent
On the first occasion that your canvas tent ensures 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.
• Ensure that both the tent and groundsheet are BONE DRY before packing
away, this process can be quicker by detaching the groundsheet and hanging it
to dry separately.
• Store your tent away in a dry place, free of damp and excessive condensation.
We would advise placing it up high so that rodents cannot reach the tent.
• To effectively pack down your tent, follow the pitching instructions in reverse.
