Article sent with instructions for erection in English, French, and Spanish.
4 people are required to carry it, 3 to erect it.
Use all pegging points for maximum stability, and bury the mud flaps.
Avoid setting up the tent under trees as this may lead to it rotting.
Do not disinfect the tent with overly concentrated chlorine solution as this will damage the canvas.
The lifespan of the tent can be extended by protecting it with an outer flysheet made of plastic sheeting and local materials.
