INSTRUCTIONS AND PRODUCT CARE
TRIAL-SET UP
Please set up your tent or bivi bag prior to your first trip to ensure you are familiar with the product and the process. Your first setup in the field could be in harsh weather or in the dark where it is helpful to be comfortable about the setup process.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PEGS
Different campsites require different pegs depending on how firm the soil is and what type of vegetation you encounter. In firm soil, our 16cm standard peg is a good choice. In soil with significant vegetation on top or a soft top layer, our longer 22cm peg is a good option. In soft soil or firm sand, we recommend the wider 24cm peg. For soft surfaces where traditional pegs cannot supply the required grip, we recommend our 30cm snow and sand peg. Contact your local BACH dealer to acquire the right pegs for your destination.
PRODUCT CARE
Limit exposure to sunlight: UV radiation contributes to aging and
deterioration of materials. Pack your tent when it is not in use to avoid
prolonged UV exposure. Leaving your tent or bivi bag in the sun for extended
periods will shorten the life span of your product.
STORAGE : Make sure your tent or bivi bag is clean and dry before
storage. Any moisture or organic materials caught inside could result in
mildew. Store your product in a dry shaded place where it is not affected by
UV radiation.
CLEANING : Clean your tent or bivi bag using lukewarm freshwater without
detergent. Dirt stains can be rubbed with a wet rag or sponge. A toothbrush
can be used to clean the zippers. Do not machine wash or tumble dry!
SEAM SEALING : BACH tents are made from Nylon 6.6 with a silicone coating
on both sides. The silicone coating provides excellent waterproofing and
increased tear strength, it does however prevent the use of seam tape. Flat
felled seams and carefully select thread provide good water resistance in the
seams but in some cases, water may wick through. You may seam seal the product
using a silicone-based seam sealer to prevent wicking if desired. Our
recommendation is to only seam seal areas where you are experiencing wicking
issues.
FOOTPRINT : To maximize the service life of your tent (not available for
bivi bags) you may use a footprint to protect the floor from abrasion and
sharp objects.
