Taking Care of Your Gala Tent
Congratulations on purchasing your new Gala Tent™. Your Gala Tent™ will give you years of
service and enjoyment if you follow these instructions carefully and take care of your Gala Tent™
correctly. Please read the instructions before attempting to erect your Gala Tent™ and save
them for future reference.
Insurance
We highly recommend that your Gala Tent™ be insured against theft, adverse weather conditions
and accidental damage. Damage caused by incorrect assembly will not be covered under the
Manufacturer’s warranty.
Check Your Equipment
Check the contents of the boxes in advance of using your Gala Tent™ for the rst time. We would
recommend that you check that you have all the components within 7 days of receipt of your
goods and denitely before rst use of your product. Ensure that you are familiar with the erect
the Gala Tent™ and that all parts are accounted for. You should familiarise yourself with the tent
including any restrictions it may have for your particular use. A Gala Tent™ is a transportable
temporary structure, which under most circumstances will provide shelter against the elements.
There are however extremes of weather for which allowance should be made.
Sustainability
Position: Sheltered
Weather: Fair/Moderate
Gala Tents™ are not guaranteed waterproof. We do however endeavour to make them as
weatherproof as possible. Where necessary/possible we have welded the seams but on some
seams this is not feasible. It is therefore possible that a small amount of leakage may occur in
heavy rain. Treating all sewn seams with a seam sealant, which is available from Gala Tent, can
prevent this. Tents are also renowned for condensation accruing inside, this usually happens over
night and can be extreme in some cases so do not leave any goods inside overnight that can be
aected by dampness.
Securing Your Gala Tent
It is very important that this unit is secured against wind, we advise that the structure should be
taken down if wind speeds exceed 30mph. We recommend the use of our tie down kits, Ground
bar sets and ground bar pegs (optional). Although the unit is supplied with guide
ropes and attachment points on the roof corners, we recommend that the unit be secured by
attaching above optional equipment to the framework for added stability.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
REMEMBER, YOUR GALA TENT™ CAN BURN. FOLLOW THESE COMMON SENSE RULES
When erecting, ensure there is a minimum distance of 6 metres between other tent users.
Do not place cooking, heating or lighting appliances near the sides or the panels canopy of the
Gala
Tent™.
Always observe safety instructions for all appliances.
Keep exits clear and unobstructed, use ramps for ground bars if necessary (optional item).

Dismantling Your Gala Tent
Reverse the assembly instructions.
Take great care in windy conditions and ensure that you have enough help to prevent strain on the
frame.
Dry all parts at the earliest opportunity. Do not put away wet.
Your Gala Tent™ is not covered under warranty if damage occurs due to incorrect dismantling,
packing, storage or usage.
Storage
During long periods of inactivity and during the winter months, it is essential that the roof, walls
and bungee straps are stored in a warm dry environment. Failure to do this may result in mildew
damage to these parts; cold environments can be detrimental to your Gala Tent™ Marquee,
especially the clear windows as they could fracture in adverse weather conditions.
The frame should also be stored in a completely dry environment. A light coating of petroleum
jelly will help prevent corrosion, storage bags available as an option.
Please note: Your Gala Tent™ is not covered under warranty if it is stored incorrectly.
Cleaning
Roof and walls: Clean with a soft cloth or brush using mild detergent solution or soapy
water and dry thoroughly.
Frame: Brush of dirt and then wash with soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
Spare Parts
Should you damage or lose any parts of your Gala Tent™, spares are available from Gala Tent or
your nearest stockist. IMPORTANT: Please note that storm, adverse weather and accident damage
and damage through incorrect dismantle, packing and storage is not covered by warranty.

and attach using the elastic bungee

panels it is easier to attach these
