1. Each installation site must be evaluated and the proper securing method determined by the
installer. Some soils require staking or securing different from that which was provided with the
tent.
2. Good judgment and common sense must be used along with installation guidelines. It is the
responsibility of the tent installer/maintainer to anticipate the severity of the weather along with
the proper time and method of setup and take down. Evacuation of the tent is recommended
before weather becomes extreme. A successful event is a safe event.
3. Proper safety equipment, such as hard hats, steel toe shoes, and safety glasses, should be used
to ensure a safe setup and take down.

Care for your Vinyl Tops
Care for your vinyl tops as you would to any vinyl surface.
Use mild detergent industrial cleaner with no chlorox.
To clean, spread tent top on clean surface. Try laying fabric on astro turf to wash. Dirt and tiny sharp
particles tend to fall into the carpet pile, away from the fabric. Some renters set up the tents to wash
and dry.
Spray detergent solution onto fabric. Use more concentrated solution on soiled areas.
Rub, scrub or brush; elbow grease is an essential ingredient. Pressure washing may harm your tent
fabric and is not recommended. Rinse with clean water, hang cover and allow to dry thoroughly.
DO NOT put your tent away damp. Mold & mildew will grow and discolour the cover. Always dry the
tent. To speed things up, try fans or carpet air blowers and hanging the canopy.
Trees can be a problem with sap, pollen, etc. Flowers & leaves, sometimes contain powerful natural
organic chemicals capable of staining your beautiful tent. Beware of tents under trees!
- Always use a drop sheet during setup and take down.
- Have some cleaning equipment with you for on-site clean ups.
- Besides being a fire hazard, BBQ's add a lot of grease and grime to the underside of the tent and
are not recommended even with the walls off.
STORAGE - store vinyl canopies and other parts clean and dry.
Maintaining Your Tent
Your WSSL Peak Marquee Tent will serve your needs now and for many years to come. Tighten the
top and walls to avoid wind flap and consequent wear on the fabric. Periodically the fabric should be
cleaned; in place or when dismantled. Using mild detergent, water and a deck mop, clean wipe the
fabric roof or walls. Let dry. Repair any damage to the fabric using a WSSL Fabric Repair Kit. Repair
or replace any possible damaged frame parts.
TENT FABRIC CHARACTERISTICS
MILDEW - If mildew is detected, remove it immediately. Regardless of treatment, there is no way to
absolutely stop fungus growth if it is prevalent in your area. No tent can be guaranteed not to mildew.
Vinyl fabrics may mildew in storage if not properly stored. BE SURE TENT IS CLEAN AND DRY
BEFORE STORING IN A COOL, DRY PLACE.
WATER RESISTANCE - WSSL tents are made of waterproof vinyl/polyester fabrics using waterproof
welded seams. Because these fabrics are impervious to moisture, condensation may occur with
some heaters and if the tent is poorly vented. Do not confuse water condensation with leakage
especially on vinyl tents.
FLAME RESISTANT - All WSSL tent tops and walls are fire retardant. All WSSL tent fabrics satisfy
ULC-S109, NFPA 701, and California fire marshal tests for fire resistance.
FADING-OPACITY - Variable sun conditions, exposures, types of materials and fabric finishes all
influence the weathering of fabrics. WSSL fabrics have been chosen for their colour and opacity
consistency and stability.
COLD CRACK - Chosen for their tolerance to cold cracking, our translucent fabrics remain flexible at
temperatures below 0°F. The opaque fabrics are laminated and therefore become stiffer as the
temperature drops. When the temperature is near 32°F, care should be taken in folding and moving the
fabric to prevent cracking of the vinyl, especially the walls with windows.
