Proper handling and care of tents

a. Avoid, if possible, cooking inside the tent. Heat, fumes and food oil and stains may damage the tent material.

b. Cleanse poles and pegs off dirt after use.

c. Allow tent to dry before packing. Likewise, aerate tent immediately upon coming home. Avoid leaving damp tent inside your backpack for prolonged periods. Properly dry a tent before storage.

d. When hanging a tent, hang it at a breezy but shady area. Avoid exposing nylon tents directly to sunlight. The sun’s ultraviolet rays is damaging to nylon.

e. Should you wash the tent, avoid the use of strong detergents. Do not wring tent material, just softly brush off dirty area with water spray.

f. Keep tent parts together in one sack.

g. To store the tent, keep it preferably in a breathable sack of soft cotton.

h. Regularly check tent for rips and other damage. It is better to fix damages as early as possible to avoid unwanted discomforts during camping
