Troubleshooting
Shelter feels unstable in heavy wind
Ensure all pegging points are fully utilized and check that the sand skirt is firmly held down by sand or weights.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the shelter, expand the self-supporting frame on a level area of sand and secure it using the reinforced pegging points provided. Ensure the sand skirt is properly buried or weighed down to prevent lift-off in high winds. Regarding compatibility, this unit is specifically engineered for beach environments; avoid using it on rocky terrain where the pegs cannot be driven in deep. For maintenance, always brush off excess sand and salt spray after every session. Allow the shelter to dry completely before folding it into the carry bag to prevent mold growth or material degradation. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
