Unpack your tent and lay it out with the groundsheet
oor facing. Make sure the ground is at and free of any
sharp objects. Find the door and rotate to face desired
direction.
Locate the cross bar, bring it inside the tent and strap it
tightly in place using the Velcro straps.
Connect together each rib (these are the aluminium
curved 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. This must be done
rmly, particularly at bottoms.
Connect the x2 central poles via the holes in either
end of the cross bar, ensuring they are stood straight
once erect. TIP: open the door fully to help with the air
resistance.
Keeping the tent fabric on top of the base, stretch
the groundsheet out to an oval shape. Using the small
pegs provided, secure the canvas and groundsheet,
making sure you pull the groundsheet tight and equally
tensioned with no creases all the way round.

Zip the door closed and locate the thicker pegs. One by
one, pull and peg the guy ropes down at a 1m distance
from the tent, ensuring that they are aligned with the
vertical seam of the tent wall. TIP: Once all pegs are
down, you can adjust the guy ropes using the sliders as
needed.
Slot the feet of this pole into the black pockets on either
side of the door.
Finally, you should be presented with an even tension
and a crease free, rounded nish. It’s now time to relax
and enjoy your new home away from home, make use of
your Luna Emperor Tent’s ample internal space with lots
of cosy indoor bedding and furniture!
Thread the exi door pole through the sleeve on the
door canopy.

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 ne 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.
Take the poles and pegs out of the tent and if necessary
give them a clean and towel dry before packing away.
Try to 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.
Smoothing and releasing any trapped air as you go,
begin to tightly roll the tent forwards. Once completed,
use the straps to secure the rolled up tent together and
place it back into the provided tent bag.
Without standing on the canvas, fold the tent in half and
back on itself so that it resembles a half moon shape.

achieving pitch perfection
• Ensure your spot is at 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, 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 to achieve a smooth nish.
• The groundsheet zip must be concealed and hidden by the skirt of the tent.
waterproofing & leak prevention
On the rst occasion that your canvas tent endures a heavy rainfall, although unlikely,
you may nd 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.
once it's up...
• Frequently check that 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 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.

• Ensure that both the tent and groundsheet are BONE DRY before packing your tent
away, this process can be made 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.
Your tent will have a generous coating of our water, rot and UV repelling agent. Over
time, as a result of heavy use or testing environments, your tent fabric may require a
second coating to revive its breathability and resistance to the elements. This can be
done by using a garden spray to apply the following agents:
