how to set up your luna emperor tent
1.
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.
Make the 2x central poles as straight as possible (this
can be tweaked later). This coupled with the tension
of the pegged groundsheet means the tent will stand
without any support.
Then connect the 2 central poles in the holes in either
end of the cross bar. TIP: open the door fully to help with
the air resistance.
2.
3. 4.
Unpack the Luna Emperor and locate the above pegs and
poles needed to erect your tent. Please ensure all pieces
are included with your tent.
Lay out the tent, making sure to locate the door (you can
nd this by following the zips on the groundsheet). This
will be your guide to a secure and correct set up.
5. 6.
Go inside the tent and insert the 2 central poles and
crossbar (see image 1). Take the crossbar (it has 2x
velcro strips at each end) and locate the velcro strips in
the central part of the tent.

Insert the ribs (wall poles), these come in 3 parts. Insert
the top in rst and then the bottom should slide into
place.
Please make sure all poles are butted up tight to the
seam and sheet at the bottom. Velcro the wall ribs to
secure it in 2 places.
7.
You now need to peg out the guy ropes. Please make
sure you are at least 1m away from the tent, take both of
the top and lower guys and peg with 1x larger pegs.
Please also make sure you are in line with vertical seam
and the nearest central pole to you.

Then pop each pole into the black housing on each side
of the door.

the door canopy.

TIP: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU STORE YOUR TENT DRY
Please double check the centre poles are straight, and the front door is closed before tensioning the guy ropes. This will
insure you have a perfectly erected tent without any sagging or creases.

how to pack your luna emperor tent
It is vital that your tent is stored when it is dry, and not at all damp, otherwise it may suffer from mildew. It is ok to take it
down whilst the tent is damp, however, you must ensure to hang it up to dry within 48 hours. This can be done by being
hung on a washing line, or over something, to air dry.
Take the poles and pegs out of the tent whilst keeping the canvas off the grass. Without standing on the canvas, fold the
tent over so you have a half moon with the groundsheet facing up.
The idea is that you always have canvas touching canvas and groundsheet touching groundsheet. Once any condensation
has dried off turn the half moon over so the other half of the groundsheet can also dry out. We nd it’s a good idea to move
the tent off its original spot to avoid putting any condensation back onto the rst half.
Fold the sides into the centre and then over on itself so you end up with a strip the width of the tent bag. Fold the strip in
half and place the pole and peg bags at one end. Roll into a tight bundle using the ties to secure the tent as a roll. Lift one
end and slip the bag over the tent.

maintenance
The canvas must be bone dry before storing. Never keep the tent stored away wet for longer than 48 hours, otherwise
mould can affect the canvas which could create permanent little black dots. If your tent has not been set up correctly,
uneven forces could pull on the canvas, which could eventually lead to damage. To ensure your tent stays set up correctly,
daily guy rope maintenance is necessary. It is in your interest to keep the canvas as clean as possible and remove stains
when created. Dust and dried mud are best removed once the canvas is dry by brushing with a clean, hard brush.
zippers
Zippers sometimes endure extreme tensions caused by wind, incorrect tent set up or pressure caused by people or objects
leaning onto the tent.
• Close all zippers before setting up your tent.
• Handle them with care.
• To keep them in top condition, treat them with zip lubricant from time to time.
• Ensure zippers are in working order before setting up your tent as the warranty does not cover damage after use.
lifespan
The lifespan of your tent is very dependent upon camping conditions. Air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, natural dirt (bird
droppings, sand, salt water) and domestic dirt (cooking stains, soda, wine, sun cream) could all limit the lifespan of your
canvas tent. Your Luna Emperor Bell Tent should last for many years if looked after correctly.
waterproofing & leak prevention
The rst time your tent gets wet it may leak a little around the seams, don’t worry THIS IS NORMAL! Once it has fully dried
out the cotton will naturally shrink and close any tiny holes to ensure your tent becomes watertight. To preserve your tent’s
water resistance and prolong its lifespan the outside of the canvas can be re-treated with a sealant - available from our
online shop at Boutique Camping.
