FAQs
How many people can comfortably sleep in this tent?

What is the waterproof rating of the flysheet?
The flysheet has a hydrostatic head of 2000mm.
What material is the tent made from?
The tent is made from 100% Polyester.
Is the inner tent waterproof?
The inner tent is primarily for sleeping and protection from insects; the main waterproofing comes from the outer flysheet.
Can this tent be pitched by one person?
Yes, the outer-fly-first design is intended to make pitching simpler, and it can be pitched by one person with practice.
What should I do if a pole breaks?
Inspect the pole for the type of damage. Minor damage may be repairable with a pole repair sleeve. For severe damage, replacement poles may be necessary.
How should I clean the tent fabric?
Clean the fabric using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproofing.
Troubleshooting
Tent is difficult to pitch
Ensure poles are correctly inserted into sleeves and attached to the correct points. Consult the pitching diagram or practice in a dry environment first.
Water ingress during rain
Check that all seams are properly sealed and that the flysheet is taut. Ensure guy lines are properly tensioned to maximize water runoff. Re-waterproof seams if necessary.
Poor ventilation or condensation
Open the vents and mesh panels as much as possible, weather permitting. Ensure the inner tent is not touching the flysheet where possible.
Poles appear damaged
Inspect poles for cracks or splits. Minor cracks can sometimes be repaired with pole repair sleeves. Significant damage may require pole replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Elkon 4 Person Tent is designed for an outer-fly-first pitching method, which simplifies the process. Unpack the tent and identify the poles, flysheet, and inner tent. Insert the fibreglass poles into the designated sleeves and attach them to the tent's grommets. Raise the poles to erect the flysheet, then secure the inner tent beneath. Peg out the tent and tension the guy lines.
Compatibility: This tent is designed for ground camping and is compatible with standard tent pegs and mallets. It is suitable for use on most relatively flat surfaces.
Care: To ensure longevity, always dry the tent completely before storing it to prevent mildew. Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Store the tent loosely in its bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Periodically check the poles for cracks and the fabric for wear and tear.
