Bell Tent Instruction Guide

Hello, thanks for purchasing our Bell Tent.
Here is a list of tips to help you get years of
use out of your tent, but the golden rule is:
ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, STORE YOUR BELL
TENT BONE DRY OR YOU WILL RUN THE RISK
OF GETTING A MOULDY TENT!
Maintenance:
•The cotton must be bone dry before you store the tent.
•Never keep the tent stored away wet for longer than two days,
otherwise fungus can affect the canvas which will then create permanent
little black dots.
•The canvas has been impregnated to protect it from dirt, ultraviolet
radiation and fungus, that is effective for up to 60 weeks of use. Once
used past this period of camping you may need to re-proof certain areas
that appear more translucent.
•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 correct when
you set up, daily guy rope maintenance is necessary.

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). The
canvas tent should be good for over 60 weeks (so a year) of outdoor
usage if cared for correctly.
Fungus and Stains:
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 cleaning products to remove difficult stains.
Other chemical products can cause the cotton to leak. We suggest you
have your tent re-impregnated with waterproofer on any area that has
been cleaned.
ENJOY YOUR GLAM CAMPING EXPERIENCE!

PUTTING YOUR TENT UP
1) Lay out the groundsheet and find the slightly longer side which is
where the door going. Rotate the groundsheet so the door is facing the
desired direction and pin it down tightly with the thin set of pegs.
2) Select out the longest guy rope for the door curtain and attach all the
guy ropes to the canvas loops.

3) Take out the metal poles and extend the center pole first. Unzip the
door and take the center pole with rubber stoppers at each end inside
the tent. Find the top/centre of the tent and match it with the end of the
pole. Then pull the pole in and up so you raise the roof of the tent.

4) Stand next to the center pole and adjust the bottom to make it as
upright as possible. The pole will stay upright as there is enough tension
to hold it vertical.

5) Take out the A-frame Door Pole and assemble it but leave one of the
top sections unclipped as this will make it much easier to get it through
the door and into the tent. Once inside, open the A-frame fully and put
the metal spike, which is on its top, through the matching hole in the
canvas above the door. Then edge the A-frame forward until the legs are
inside the fixed holes on the groundsheet to stop them slipping. Fit the
plastic raincap to the spike of the A-frame above the door outside.

6) Leave the tent and use a large peg to attach the first guy rope above
the door. Then zip up the door and do the guy ropes around the whole
tent without putting any of them too much tension. All the guy ropes
need to follow the seam lines in the roof. Adjust the guy rope slider so
you have approx. 50cm of loop to the peg. This allows adjustment in
both directions. Get all the pegs in then go round adjusting the guy ropes
to create the desired tension.

7) Tie down the elastic tie with the thin set of pegs to cover the
groundsheet zip.

8) If you are lucky enough to have fantastic weather, you can roll the
tent walls up to allow air to circulate through the tent. Simply unhook
the bottom of the walls from the pegs, and undo the zip from all around
the base of the tent, then roll up the sides and tie in place using the
strings and toggles attached to the tent.
Enjoy your bell tent and please remember, only store it bone
dry!
OTHER INFORMATION:
Cotton shrinks when wet, making itself waterproof when it rains. The
first time your tent gets wet it may leak a little, do not worry because
THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL!!! Once it dries out for the first time, the
shrinkage will close up any little holes to ensure it will not happen again.
