Additional Information:
Inner
SatProof 600+ Ripstop Canvas ™ is a 340gsm blended cotton canvas. The anti-mildew water proofing agent is saturated throughout the canvas before manufacture so even after wear and tear it will still provide a waterproof barrier. SatProof 600+ Canvas ™ offers a minimum of 600mm hydrostatic water head creating a waterproof canvas that still minimises condensation build up. The structure of cotton allows water vapour molecules to pass through and at the same time provide a barrier to water droplets.
Roof
SatProof 800+ Canvas ™ is a 340gsm blended cotton canvas. This stronger fabric is treated further to provide 800mm hydrostatic water head and maintains the same level of breathability. The fabric is rolled under pressure to accept the silver coating that blocks out more than 98% of UV radiation and heat. The technology used in this protective coating has been developed to provide a level of finish never seen before in a canvas product.
Top Tips: Caring for your Canvas Camping Tent
To get the best value from your canvas tent it is important that you care for it correctly. To begin with, you need to season your canvas when it's new and also after long periods when it has been stored. Pitch your tent and hose it down with water. The water shrinks the canvas around the thread of the stitch lines and allows the cotton in the canvas to swell. You need to repeat this process a couple of times.
If you have missed a small spot or a seam, you can temporarily fix this by applying wax from a clear wax candle. Rub the candle on the exterior of the stitch line and/or the spot. The wax acts as a waterproof barrier quickly sealing that spot or seam. No need to get wet, but you do have to remember to take a candle with you. Keep it in your kit bag.
A reason why people purchase canvas tents over their polyester cousins is durability, warmth, weight and strength. Caring for the canvas in your tent will prolong its lifetime.
This guide includes product and parts, assembly instructions, figures and illustrations, disassembly instructions, folding instructions, tent warranty, important safety and care information, prolonging the life of your tent/shelter, understanding waterproofness, replacing shock-cord in tent poles, and zips.
OZtrail tents are warranted for a period of one year from date of purchase. The manufacturer agrees during the warranty period to repair any manufacturing defects in the product or, at its option, replace the product with another product or an equivalent product without cost to the owner for material or labour.
This warranty is subject to the original proof of purchase and the products being used in accordance with the instruction manual.
Important: This tent is to be assembled once before going camping to ensure that all parts are present and to become familiar with the assembly of the tent.
This warranty does not cover defects due to modification, accident, damage caused by vandalism, rusting, acts of nature or any other event beyond the control of the manufacturer. Nor does this warranty cover scratching, scuffing, natural breakdown of materials that occur inevitably with extended use including Ultra Violet light damage and exhausted zippers or other cosmetic damage that may result from normal wear and tear. In addition, defects resulting from intentional damage, negligence or unreasonable use will void this warranty.
If the product is defective within the terms of this warranty, OZtrail will repair or replace defective parts at no cost to the purchaser. Please note the shipping charges to and from the OZtrail warehouse or original place of purchase are not covered under warranty and are the responsibility of the purchaser. OZtrail reserves the right to make substitutions to warranty claims if parts are unavailable or obsolete.
Your product is valuable and should be insured against loss or damage. During strong winds and storms collapse the tent flat onto the ground and seek refuge in your vehicle. Damage caused by storms and strong winds is not covered by warranty.
This warranty does not cover incidental expenses including property damage.
OZtrail tents use waterproof and water repellent fabrics. However, with the addition of seams, zips and other desirable features a recreational tent will not be as waterproof as a car, house or other solid structures.
The following are common examples of how water can enter a tent:
Condensation - When warm moist air meets cooler air, condensation occurs. The tent/shelter fly forms an impermeable layer between the inside and outside conditions. The moisture inside the tent/shelter condenses on the fabric. Sometimes in cold conditions it appears that the fabric is leaking when in fact the cause is condensation. Condensation can be reduced if the tent/shelter is well ventilated.
Zips - All care is taken in the design to cover zips with rain flaps. At times wind driven rain could force water under the rain flaps and through the zips. To minimise this, make sure all doors and windows are closed with the rain flaps covering the zips.
Floor - If the ground is very wet or water pools under the floor, downward pressure of standing or kneeling on the floor could force water through the floor fabric. To prevent this, do not pitch the tent over hollows and make sure water drains away from the tent.
Structural Integrity - A perfectly pitched tent on perfectly flat ground is structurally strong and most waterproof. During prolonged periods of rain and wind it may be necessary to tighten guy lines and reset the tent pegs and attend to drainage around the tent. Sagging and incorrect pitching weakens the tent structure and could allow water to pool on the fly placing undue forces on the tent causing leaking and breakages.

"Fantastic tent, by far the best tent I have had to date. Only thing would suggest is to keep a few spare clamps for the extendable poles as I have broken 2 after a few camping trips and I've only been doing them hand tight. I am still more than happy with the tent though. Heaps of space and all the windows are great for ventilation. Hghly recommended. "
