At Bell Tent Sussex, proper care protects your investment and extends your canvas tent's lifespan for countless adventures.
Cleaning: Use mild soap and lukewarm water, avoiding harsh chemicals or bleach. Handwash gently with a soft sponge, avoid vigorous scrubbing, rinse thoroughly, and air dry fully before storage.
Storage: Store only when completely dry in a cool, ventilated space. Minimize sun exposure to preserve color, and use a groundsheet against sharp objects and rough terrain.
Waterproofing: Regularly reseal seams and reapply waterproofing treatment, especially after cleaning.
Inspections: Check for wear or damage promptly; use our repair kit for minor tears.
Happy camping!
