Packing And Storing Your Tent
Ensuring your tent remains in optimal condition is crucial, and it is imperative to store it only when completely dry. Storing a damp or wet tent may lead to mildew formation, potentially causing damage to the fabric. While it’s acceptable to dismantle a wet tent, it’s vital to promptly hang it for drying within 48 hours. Utilise a washing line or a similar apparatus, separating the groundsheet from the tent to expedite the drying process.
When storing your tent, choose a dry location devoid of moisture and excessive condensation. Opt for an elevated storage space to prevent potential encounters with rodents. Following these guidelines will help preserve the longevity of your tent.
Step One
Remove pegs and shorten guy lines keep the canvas tent onto of the groundsheet to keep it clean and dry.
Step Two
Fold the tent in half into a semi circle then fold the curved edge back into the middle to create a rectangle.
Step Three
Fold the tent in half, lengthways and push any remaining air out. Then role the tent tightly forwards.
Step Four

**The tent should only be packed away if completely dry to prevent mould forming.
If damp when packing away then the tent should be hung up to dry within 48hrs.
