Thereareseveralcommonandnaturalcausesthatcanleadtowaterinyourswag:‐

CONDENSATION
Thepolycottoncanvasfabricsareimpregnatedwithwaterproofingagentstorepelwater.This
coatingreducesairpermeabilityandleadstocondensationsimilartothatwhichoccursoncar
windowsundercertainconditions.
Somecondensationisnormalwithpolycottoncanvasfabricandshouldnotbeconsideredasa
defect.

NEEDLEHOLES
Duneswagsaremanufacturedbyexpertmachinistswiththefinestwaterrepellenttreatment.
Howeverwhennew,duringheavyrainsomeseepagemayoccurintheseamsthroughthe
needleholescreatedinthesewingprocess.Thisisnormalandcanbecorrectedwiththe

STUCTURALINTEGRIRTY
AlthoughDuneswagsandcanvastentsareconstructedtorigidspecifications,periodsofwind
andrainsoakingthegroundmayloosenpegsandcausethepolestosinkintotheground.This
willweakentherigidityoftheoverallstructureandmayallowwaterpocketstoforminthe
roofofthepoleassemblyisnottaught,theweightofwhichmaycausebrokenpolesandtorn
fabric.
Thisisnotcoveredbywarranty.

IMPORTANT

1. Beforeusingyourswagitmustbeseasonedtomakeitfullywaterproof.Thisinvolves
erectingtheswag,soakingitcompletelywithwaterbyeitherrainorhoseandletting
theswagdry.Itisthedryingprocessthatwaterproofstheswag.Ensureallwindows
anddoorsareclosed.Thewettinganddryingprocessallowsthefabricandstitchingto
shrinkandtakeup.Somewatermaywickthroughthestitchingduringthisprocess.
Repeatthewettinganddryingprocess2or3times.Theswagshouldnowbe
waterproof.Ifanywickingthroughthestitchingoccursinthefuturerubthestitching
withawaxstick(availableatmostcampingstores)whichwillsealthearea.

2. Alwaysallowtheswagtodrycompletelybeforepackingitawayforstorage.Never
storeawetand/orsoiledswag,asmildewand/orcorrosionwillformwithinafew
days.Thisconditionisnotcoveredbyfactorywarranty.Alwaysallowswagtodry
completely,andcleanbeforerollingupandstoringaway.

3. Duringrainalwayslowerawningstoavoidwaterpondingonawning.

4. Thisswagisdesignedasarecreationalproductonlyandisnotsuitableforuseasa
dwelling.

5. Yourswagisvaluableandshouldbeinsuredagainstlossordamage.

HELPFULHINTSGUIDE

CONDENSATION–thisiscausedbylowertemperaturesontheoutsideoftheswagcombined
withyourbodyheatontheinsideoftheswag.Whenthisoccurs,avoidtouchingthewallsto
reducecontactleakage.Leavingthedoorsandwindowsopenwillreducemoisture
condensation.

SEAMLEAKAGE–allDuneswagsaremanufacturedbyexpertmachinists.However,seepage
mayoccurintheseamsthroughtheneedleholescreatedduringthesewingprocess.Thisis
normalandcanbecorrectedbyapplyingagenerousamountofseamsealerorwaxonthe
insideontheseams.Seamsealerisavailableatallretailcampingspecialists.

MILDEW–toavoidmildew,neverstoreyourswagawaywetordamp.Howeverifmildew
occurs,useasoftbristlebrushorspongewithmilddetergenttoclean.Lettheswagdryinthe
sunlightandre‐applyseamsealercompoundontheinsideoftheseams.

REPAIRINGATEAR–forsmalltears,useaself‐adhesivepatchkit.Werecommendacanvasor
awningrepairerforlargertears.

FAULTYZIPPER–allourswagsaremanufacturedwithzipperswhich,ifthezipperseparates,
youcanfixthezipperbymovingtheslidertothebeginningtothezippertapeandreworking
thezipper.Ifthisdoesn’twork,werecommendyouvisitacanvasorawningrepairerinyour
area.

FADINGFABRICS–donotleaveyourswagsetupindirectsunlightlongerthanisnecessary.If
leftinsunlightforprolongedperiodsiftime,thefabricwillfadeandweaken.

FLOORCONDENSATION–agroundsheetundertheswagpreventsthefloorfromfeeling
dampandhelpsprolongitslife.Thegroundsheetshouldbesmallerthantheswag’sfloorto
preventrainfromrunningundertheswag.

REMOVINGPEGS–pegsshouldbepulledoutwithanotherpeg,hammerorapegpuller.
Neverremoveapegbypullingontheswag.Avoidpeggingtheswagsotightthatitstretches
thefabric.Overstretchingmaycausepegloopstotear.
