Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to pitch.
Ensure poles are fully inserted into connectors and that the correct poles are being used for their respective sleeves, following the color-coding.
Water ingress during rain.
Check that all seams are properly sealed and that the flysheet is taut. Ensure the porch groundsheet is correctly positioned and that no part of the flysheet is touching the ground. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Condensation inside the tent.
Open the roof vents to increase airflow. Avoid touching the tent walls from the inside, as this can transfer body moisture. Ensure no vents are blocked.
Fibreglass pole breaks.
Replace the damaged section with a compatible repair sleeve or a new pole section. Handle poles with care to avoid stress fractures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Unpack all components and identify the tent, poles, and groundsheet. Insert the color-coded fibreglass poles into their corresponding sleeves until the tent structure begins to take shape.

Store the tent in its original bag in a cool, dry place. Periodically check poles for any signs of wear or damage. Re-waterproof the fabric as needed, especially after prolonged use or exposure to heavy rain, using a suitable tent waterproofing spray.
