1-YEAR REPLACEMENT PARTS WARRANTY
This product carries a replacement parts warranty against defects
in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from
date of purchase. At its discretion, the manufacturer may provide
replacement parts. Original purchaser will be required to provide
proof of purchase. The consumer will be responsible for shipping
costs incurred outside of the U.S. or Canada.
Warranties DO NOT cover normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse,
inclement weather conditions (i.e. wind, rain, hail, lightning,
tornadoes or hurricanes) or other acts of God, mildew and
rotting,damage or fading caused by prolonged exposure to UV
rays. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also
have other rights which vary depending on locale.
Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be liable for
any incidental or consequential damages.
The tent is water-repellent. It is not waterproof. During heavy or
continuous rain, some leakage may occur. Avoid contact between
objects and the inside of the tent, as this may result in leakage at
points of contact. In the event of seam leakage, apply
a seam-sealer compound.
Although our products are manufactured according to rigorous
specifications, periods of wind or rain may loosen the stakes and
cause the frame to sink into the ground.This will weaken the
structure’s overall rigidity. Puddles may also form on the roof if
the unit has not been assembled tightly. If pooling should occur,
it is advisable to drain the fly to avoid possible damage to frame
and fabric. Adjustment of guy lines may be necessary. In case of
inclement weather, remove valuables and seek appropriate
shelter. Intended for recreational use only.
CLEANING:
Allow dirt to dry on the fabric after a rainfall before lightly
sweeping it off with a brush. For tougher stains, spray the area
with water and lightly wipe it off with a few strokes.Do not use
washer or dryer. DO NOT SCRUB THE FABRIC. ALWAYS MAKE
SURE IT IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE REPACKING.
DANGER!
Stoves, lanterns, candles, grills, heaters and other fuel-burning
devices produce carbon monoxide and will consume the
available oxygen in a tent. Use of such devices in a tent may
cause asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning,and death or
serious and permanent injuries. For this reason:
- DO NOT use fuel-burning devices inside or near this product.
- Your failure to follow this warning may cause death or serious
and permanent injury to you or others.
WARNING!
- KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS
FABRIC. This product is made with flame-resistant fabric,
which meets CPAI-84 specifications. IT IS NOT FIREPROOF!
The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with any
flame source. The application of any foreign substance to the
fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.

choice. Be aware of possible falling rocks or tree limbs,
lightning strikes, flash floods, strong winds and other hazards
which may cause harm to this product or its occupants.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
1. CONDENSATION
2. SEAM LEAKAGE
3. MILDEW
4. REPAIRING A TEAR
5. FAULTY ZIPPER
6. FADING FABRIC
7. FLOOR CONDENSATION
Condensation occurs when warm moist air inside tent comes in contact with cooler outside air.Avoid touching walls to reduce contact leakage.Venting doors and
windows will reduce condensation.Store wet clothing outside of tent. A battery powered fan may be helpful. Not applicable to screen houses.
Apply a generous amount of seam sealer on inside seams.Seam sealer may be purchased at any local sporting goods store.
To avoid mildew, store tent/screen house ONLY when thoroughly dry. However, if mildew occurs, use a soft bristle brush or sponge with mild dishwashing soap or Fels
Naptha soap to clean. Let dry thoroughly, and a tent approved water repellent compound may be applied.
For small tears, use a self-adhesive patch kit. We recommend a canvas or awning repair shop for larger tears.
Zippers are self-repairing.If the zipper separates, you can move the slider to the beginning of the zipper tape and rework the zipper.
Do not leave up in direct sunlight longer than necessary. If left in sunlight for prolonged periods of time, fabric will fade and weaken.
8. USE OF STAKES Stakes should be installed at a 45° angle using a hammer or mallet. Stake loops should be kept taut without over-stretching fabric or webbing.This could cause tears or
leakage.To remove safely, use a hammer or stake puller. Do not remove by pulling on the fabric.
SOLUTION
A ground cloth under the floor helps prolong its life, provides additional insulation and moisture protection.The cloth should be smaller than the floor to prevent rain
from running under the tent. Not applicable to screen houses.
