anchor the porches (if needed, use guy ropes).
9. Ensure sufficient ventilation. This can be controlled
by the zip in the porch.
TaKE DoWn – gEnERaL inSTRUCTionS:
• Remove everything from the tent’s interior.
• Freestanding tents can be gently shaken out to
remove leaves, sand, and other debris.
• Turn the tent over with floor facing upward and
allow it to dry a bit longer.
• If it’s not possible to dry the tent completely before
packing it, this should be done within 12 hours to
prevent the risk of mold and mildew growth.
• As in the tent set up, never pull the poles out of the
pole sleeves; rather push them through.
• When storing a tent in its stuff sack, make sure that
stakes and poles don’t press against the tent fabric
and damage it.
• Before taking down your tent, close all zips and
roll up the guy lines. That way you won’t have to
untangle them when it comes time to set the tent
up again, and pitching is that much easier.
DiSManTLing – “MoDEL-SPECiFiC”:
1. Detach the outer tent and dismantle the inner tent.
2. Fold up the poles and roll them up with the tent, if
possible. Do not force the poles into the storage
bag, if it is full, as this may damage the storage bag
and tent.
SToRagE/CaRE/REPaiRS:
• As soon as the tent is dry and clean it can be stored
in its pack sack in a well-ventilated, cool and dry
place. Please do not store the tent near paints, ad-
hesives, oils, plastics, or fuels (gas canisters, etc.)!
The gasses emitted from these materials contain
plasticizers that can damage your tent over time.
• Zips are always a weak point in a tent’s structure.
If they get dirty, clean them with a (tooth) brush and
lubricate them with graphite (pencil lead), silicon
or sewing machine oil. Apply carefully and remove
excess oil with a soft cloth.
• Never store your tent when it’s wet for a longer
period of time. Unpack it as soon as you arrive
and dry it out in a well-ventilated place. To do so,
