ADDITIONAL USEFUL TENT INFORMATION
The Agate ridge pole has an inner diameter of 14mm to accommodate
most trekking poles. The optional Main Pole set-up is available as an
alternative option.
All Marmot Tents come with a Pole Repair Splint. The hollow, 4-5” Pole
Repair Splint can temporarily repair a broken tent pole. Place the splint
over the broken pole section. If you believe the broken pole is a warran-
ty issue, please contact Marmot’s Warranty Department.
An optional Footprint helps protect you and your tent from twigs, rocks
and other debris found on the ground. The footprint is placed under the
tent body and is staked out with the body at the stake out points. When
using a footprint, place it under the tent body with the coated side
facing up.
Take into consideration the direction of the wind before you pitch your
tent. Set up your tent so that the narrowest side of the tent faces the
wind.
In high-wind conditions utilize the Guy-Line Tabs and Cord to further
anchor the tent. Attach the cord to the guy-line tabs making sure the
guy-lines are taut and secured to a tent stake or other object that will
hold in high-wind conditions.
For the most secure set-up, insert the tent stakes into the ground at a
45° angle with the tip/bottom of the stake pointing toward the tent.
Extended Exposure to Sunlight can damage your tent. If possible,
avoid leaving your tent pitched in direct sunlight for an extended period
of time.
Never pitch your tent near a Heat Source or Campfire. Take into
consideration the direction of the wind, and pitch your tent upwind from
a campfire to avoid dangerous embers. Do not use an open flame in or
around your tent. Do Not Cook or Use a Heat Source in the tent or
vestibule.
Always Clean and Dry your tent before storage. A wet, dirty or damp
tent can lead to mildew damage.
CLEANING, CARE and STORAGE
If necessary, use a sponge and warm water to clean your tent. If the
entire tent requires cleaning, wash by hand in cold water, but do not
soak the tent for an extended period of time. Do not use hot water,
bleach, dish-washing soap or detergent to wash the tent. If needed, a
mild, non-detergent based soap can be used to clean the tent.
Do not use a washing machine or dryer to clean the tent as it could
damage the waterproof coating. To dry the tent, either pitch it in the
shade, or hang it on a line to dry. Be sure the tent is completely dry
before storing it.
Always store your tent in a cool dry place. Keeping your tent in a hot
car, for example, can damage the tent.
