Take the centre pole inside the tent, nd the centre of
the cone and push the pole up until it’s vertical.
Once the centre pole is in you can now put the door
poles in place. There should be 4x poles. 2 for each
door.
TIP: if the doorway is struggling to stay vertical. Please use a ribbed peg to tack one of the door guy
ropes in place. While you complete this stage.
TIP: Please close all doors before tensioning to insure you have equal tension.
Using the thicker ribbed pegs, peg out the guy ropes
at least 1m around the tent, not putting any of them
under too much tension
Adjust the guy rope slider so you have approx. 50cm of
loop to the peg. Make sure the tent is symmetrical and
the tension is evenly spread.
Once the pegs are in, adjust the guy ropes for desired tension. Your Tent should look as pictured.

how to pack your touareg 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 Touareg 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.
