STEP 10 -

It is recommended in

windy weather to secure your
screen arbor with guy ropes.
Insert the guy rope into clew as
shown above.

WARNING:

Texsport screen arbor fabrics are flame retardant treated per C.P.A.I.-84 specification. However, for your safety, we recommend that NO OPEN FLAME BE USED IN OR
NEAR YOUR screen arbor.

SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Make sure you stake the screen arbor (with the screen arbor stakes included) in windy weather, or if you anticipate afternoon winds coming up while you are away
from your campsite. Stake one corner, then stake each consecutive corner in a clockwise rotation. Make sure the screen arbor remains tight. Always place your screen
arbor a safe distance from your campfire - unstaked screen arbor placed upwind of the fire can be blown into the fire. screen arbor placed downwind of the fire are
often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your screen arbor.

WATERPROOFING YOUR SCREEN ARBOR:

Texsport screen arbors are made from coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all screen arbor fabrication, can cause water leakage
where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the screen arbor will leak. Every new screen arbor needs to be seam sealed to
make it water tight. We recommend using Texsport Spray Waterproofing/Seam Sealer which may be found at your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.

screen arbor STAKES:

All screen arbors should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your screen arbor are effective for most conditions; however, specialized stakes are recommended in
certain cases:

Sand Stakes: ..........Long broad stakes designed to hold in loose sand.

Steel Stakes: ..........Most effective in hard, rocky or frozen soil. These can rust and their sharp edges could damage the screen arbor if stored with the dining

............................canopy. In extremely hard soil a steel rod can be used to make the starter hole.

Skewer Stakes:........Lightweight, but less holding power that the standard stakes.

Snow Stakes: ..........The most common method is to bury objects with a great deal of surface area in the snow i.e. branches, aluminum pie plates, stuff sacks

............................or screen arbor bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the dead man method). screen arbors can also be se
............................cured to snow skis or poles which are stuck into the snow.

ZIPPERS:

If zippers stick, lubricate with silicone. Never force a zipper which has material caught in it, as this will bend the slider and prevent the zipper from closing. Continual
use in a sandy environment can cause the slider to erode and fail to close the zipper.

STORAGE:

screen arbors should be stored dry and loosely folded, away from heat and water. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in screen arbors. Never store directly
on concrete, as moisture and chemicals in concrete may damage the nylon.

WASHING:

Hand wash with a sponge, using a mild soap. Never use detergents or washing machines as they may damage the coating or seams. remember to use seam sealer
once screen arbor had been washed to insure waterproofing.

HOW LONG WILL A NYLON SCREEN ARBOR LAST?

Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:

A nylon screen arbor which is left erected all summer may last only one or two seasons, as the sun’s ultra-violet rays damage the nylon.

Never store a screen arbor wet or damp, as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may damage
other parts of the screen arbor (i.e. zipper tapes).

Avoid spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on screen arbor fabric as they may be harmful.

REPAIR:

For small tears use a an adhesive backed rip-stop nylon patch. We recommend Texsport Nylon screen arbor Repair Kit which may be found at your local outdoor outfit-
ter or camping store.
