Practical ConsiderationsConstructionThe.tents.come.complete.with.the.appropriate.canopies,.side-walls,.metal.poles,.guy.ropes,.stakes,.wooden.pegs.and.storage.bags.for.the.canvas..It.may.be.necessary.to.purchase.a.mallet.to.put.up.the.tents..The.side-walls.are.attached.to.the.canopy.by.hooks.and.the.panels.are.laced.together...

MaterialsThe.15oz.marquee.canvas.is.in.natural.white.and..is.treated.to.ensure.that.it.is.both.waterproof,..rot-proof.and.also.fire.retardant.compliant.to.British.and.European.Standards..

The.cotton.lining.is.treated.with.a.flame.retardant.during.production..However,.if.you.machine-wash.the.cotton.lining.then.you.will.need.to.re-apply.the.flame.retardant..

Please.note,.we.can.also.supply.the.inner-linings..in.Trevira,.which.is.made.from.flame.retardant.polyester.and.is.inherently.Flame.Retardant...Please.ask.our.advice.

Hand-Block.PrintingThe.block.printing.process.is.done.by.hand..The.maximum.size.of.the.block.is.roughly.5.inch.square.and.many.of.the.motifs.employ.2.or.3.blocks.to.make.up.the.print..The.colours.used.are.fixed.and.are.machine.washable.

Canvas.Care.&.CleaningBecause.the.canvas.is.treated.with.water.and.fire.repellents,.hot.water.or.detergents.are.not.recommended.for.cleaning..The.best.way.to.clean.the.tent.is.to.put.it.up.on.a.sunny.day.and.use.a.hose-pipe.with.a.spray.attachment,.or.mini.pressure.washer.on.the.lowest.setting..A.little.Ecover.washing.liquid.can.be.used.on.stubborn.stains..Proper.use.and.care.of.your.tent.will.insure.many.years.of.tenting.pleasure.

ShrinkageAll.tents.made.from.natural.fibers,.like.cotton,.will.shrink.slightly.and.this.will.affect.the.“finished.size”.measurements.of.the.tent..The.exact.amount.of.shrinkage.is.impossible.to.predict.

MildewA.common.problem.that.occurs.in.canvas.is.mildew..Our.tents.are.made.of.a.fabric.that.is.mildew.resistant;.however,.it.may.mildew.if.left.damp..This.is.very.destructive.to.cotton.fabrics.and.usually.forms.when.tents.are.put.in.storage.when.damp..

If.mildew.has.started.to.grow,.it.can.be.stopped.from.spreading.by.thoroughly.drying.the.tent,.preferably.in.the.hot.sun.and.applying.Lysol.and.water..To.one.gallon.of.water,.add.half.a.cup.of.Lysol..If.you.do.not.have.Lysol.on.hand,.you.can.try.substituting.1.cup.of.lemon.juice.and.1.cup.of.salt.into.one.gallon.of.water..Be.sure.to.wash.the.affected.area.thoroughly,.and.rinse.thoroughly..After.any.treatment.has.been.applied,.make.sure.the.tent.dries.completely.before.putting.into.storage..

IT.IS.IMPORTANT.TO.ALWAYS.STORE.CANVAS.AWAY.DRY.AND.IN.DRY.CONDITIONS..

Keeping.grass.and.weeds.trimmed.around.the.bottom.of.the.tent.is.also.important.since.dampness.clings.to.foliage.and.does.not.allow.air.to.get.to.the.fabric..Do.not.delay.in.drying.your.tent!

Strong.WindsOur.tents,.if.erected.correctly.are.designed.to.be.very.stable,.however,.intense.winds.can.cause.extensive.damage.to.your.tent.and.frames..Be.sure.to.set.your.tent.up.using.all.the.stakes.and.ropes.provided..Even.when.using.a.freestanding.frame.it.will.be.necessary.to.also.guy.the.tent.out.front.and.back.using.the.grommets.provided.in.the.ends.of.the.ridge.if.used.in.windy.conditions..

Frequently.checking.the.stakes.and.tightening.the.guy.ropes.if.they.loosen.during.periods.of.high.winds.will.keep.things.together..If.the.tent.is.left.alone.for.periods.of.time.in.windy.conditions.we.advise.that.all.the.panels.are.attached..This.makes.it.harder.for.the.wind.to.blow.underneath.the.tent.with.the.risk.of.blowing.it.away.

DeliveryDelivery.is.additional.and.is.by.carrier..We.can.also.organize.shipment.of.our.tents.and.marquees.to.almost.anywhere.in.the.world..Please.note.the.tents.will.take.6-.8.weeks.to.make.and.deliver.
