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 valves (approximately 50cm up on the
seams) You only need to pick one of the valves to inate
the tent so make sure the others are screwed tight.
Please note each value has 3 positions: closed, ination,
and fully open.
Once fully inated, zip close the door and insert the
exi door pole through the sleeve, complete this step
by using the metal pins to secure the pole in place. Now
peg-out the 2 guy ropes attached to the doorway.
Take the larger ridged pegs and peg out the tent
webbing. Tension of the webbing should be equal and
not over tight. Once you have completed all webbing and
guy ropes you can adjust to suit.
Insert the pump nozzle into the valve and start pumping.
It’s vital that the pressure does not exceed 8-10PSI, you
should be carefully monitoring this by the gauge found
on the pump. 2/3 into the ination process you will need
to manually push the tent roof upwards to help air ow
through the tubes evenly.
Keeping the tent fabric on top of the base, stretch
the groundsheet the form a perfect circle. Locate the
elastic rings and use the smaller pegs to x your base
to the ground. Spread the ropes and use the sliders to
shorten each rope to approx. 1m in length.

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.
NOVA TOP TIP: If the air poles are kinked when pegging down the webbing,
please loosen the webbing as it might be too tight. If this is still not correct,
please double check the pressure in the air tubes.
Unscrew the valves to release air. Remove the exi door
pole and pegs, 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.
• It’s vital that the pressure does not exceed 8-10PSI, please monitor this on the pump gauge.
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...
• If your Nova Tent is pitched in particularly hot or cold temperatures, we recommend checking the
pressure every 2 days and releasing or adding air accordingly. This is due to heat causing thermal
expansion, and cold can subsequently contract. Please be sure to never exceed 10PSI.
• 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:
