Take note of the effects of the weather
and climate
J When selecting the location to put up your

account any rising rivers and incoming tides.
J
Protect the product against strong wind and
storms. Place the product in a location that is
protected from the wind if possible.
J
If a strong wind is forecast, replace the normal
tent pegs with special storm pegs. You can find
information about meaningful supplementary
products at specialist shops.
J
The tent should be taken down before heavy
snowfall or stormy weather.
J
Remove any snow directly from the product.
Otherwise the product may collapse under the
weight.

Ensure that the tent is not too taut when it is
erected, otherwise it may not be able to adapt
to changing weather conditions and might be
damaged.

the guarantee conditions.
J
Condensation can form in all synthetic tents;
you should therefore air the tent as frequently
as possible in order to counteract this.

will not be completely watertight. However, the
threads of the outer tent

exposed to water so that after a short time the
tent will become watertight.
J
When exposed to moisture and rain, tent fab-
rics expand to varying degrees and make it
necessary to adapt the length of the guy ropes
