• Takeallthepolesandpegsoutofthetentwhilstkeeping
thecanvasothegrass-thishelpskeepyourtentclean
and grass stain free. Without standing on the canvas,
foldhalfofthetentoversoyouhaveahalfmoonwith
thegroundsheetfacingup.
• Letthathalfofthegroundsheetdryoutandyoumight
wanttowipeoanymudorwormcasks.Ifit’snotadry
dayyou’llneedtodrythetentoutwhenyougethome.
Theideaisthatyoualwayshavecanvastouchingcanvas
andgroundsheettouchinggroundsheet,soevenifthe
tentiswetyouavoidstains.
• Oncethecondensation hasdried oyou needtoturn
thehalfmoonoversotheotherhalfofthegroundsheet
canalsodryout.
• TIP: We nd it’s a good idea to move the tent o it’s
original spot to avoid putting the condensation back
ontothersthalf.

OThER INFORmaTION
Thecanvashasbeenimpregnatedtoprotectitfromdirt,ultraviolet
radiation and fungus. This makes it mould-resistant but not
mould-proof.Ifthecanvasremainsdamp,inaplacewheremould
cangrow,eventuallymouldwillgrow.Ifyouputyourtentupina
dampcornerofthegarden,nexttoahedge,orunderatreelong
termitwilleventuallygetmouldy(aswouldacaroranythingleft
there).Thereforeit’sworthconsideringtherightspotwhichhas
someventilation,asmouldisnotcoveredbythemanufacturer’s
warranty.
Advantages of an Oxford Canvas Tent:
Strong, durable, looks like cotton but without the price tag. PU
coated,seamtape,lowmaintenance.
Disadvantages of an Oxford Canvas Tent:
Non-breathableorhumidity-regulatingmaterial.
Maintenance
• Mustbebonedrybeforestoringthetent.
• Neverkeepthetentstoredawaywetforlongerthantwodays,
otherwisefunguscanaectthecanvaswhichwillthencreate
permanentlittleblackdots.
• Maintenance starts when setting up your Bell Tent. If a Bell
Tenthasnotbeensetupcorrectly,unevenforceswill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isbestremoved
oncethecanvasisdrybybrushingwithaclean,hardbrushlikea
oorscrubbingbrush.
Lifespan
• The lifespan of your tent is very dependent upon camping
conditions.Oxfordfabric isveryhard wearing.Itis a100%man
madecanvassoittakealongertimeforthefabrictobreakdown
comparedtothecottontents.
Zippers
• Zippers sometimes have to endure extreme tension caused
by wind, incorrect tent set ups or pressures caused by people
orobjectsleaninginto the tent.Inorderto limitdamagetoany
zippers,closeallzippersbeforesettingupyourtent.
• Handle them with care. To protect the zippers, treat them with
siliconesonceinawhile.Verifyzippersbeforesettingupyourtent
asthereisnoinsuranceonthemafteruse.
Fungus and stains
• With insucient ventilations, fungus can aect the canvas. It is
importanttostoreyourtentdrysonofungusorotherstains
canappear.Ifyouhavetostorethetentwettemporarily,be
suretoremovethemudanddirtfromthebottomofthetent
putyourtentbackouttodrywithin48hours.
• In order to limit fungus and stains on your tent, store your
tent 100% dry. When dealing with fungus, use a soft brush
orspongeandalotoffreshwater.Onlyusespecializedtent
cleaningproducttoremovedicultstains.
