Outwell EVENT LOUNGE Tent

Product Information

The Event Lounge is a tent designed for camping and outdoor activities. It is made of waterproof material and features a durable construction. The tent is easy to set up and pack down, making it convenient for users. It is important to follow the provided instructions to ensure proper usage and maintenance of the tent.

Product Usage Instructions

Select a suitable campsite that is even and free of rocks, branches, and sharp objects.
Open the bag and carefully unpack the tent, taking note of how it has been packed for easier repacking later.
Spread out the tent in the desired direction, avoiding placing it directly under trees. Position it with the end facing the wind for better performance in windy conditions.
Before using the tent for the first time, it is recommended to have a trial run by setting it up and taking it down.
Condensation should not be mistaken for leakage. The flysheet is waterproof, but avoid touching the inside surface during rainy weather to prevent water seepage.
When erecting the tent, avoid securing it too tightly to allow for adaptation to varying wind and weather conditions.
In case of strong winds, replace the regular tent pegs with storm pegs. Do not use guylines to pull out the tent pegs. For stony or hard ground, stronger U-form pegs are recommended.
Avoid spraying insecticides inside or on the tent as they can damage the fabric and coating.
When packing down the tent, ensure that it is completely dry to prevent mildew or rotting. Lightly grease all metal poles with a nonacidic oil after each use.
Clean the tent by removing dirt with a soft sponge and pure water. Do not wash the tent in a washing machine or have it dry-cleaned. Store the tent in a dry place.
Although the seams are made with waterproof thread, it is recommended to use a seam sealer or waterproof spray regularly on all seams around the zips and toggles to reinforce their strength.
Take note that prolonged exposure to the sun may cause the tape to come off. If this happens, remove any loose tape and use a seam sealer and waterproof spray to re-seal the seams.

Cleaning and maintenance tips

Congratulation on your new innovative Outwell® Tent designed and created to accompany you out into the great outdoors.

OVERVIEW

Select the campsite and position the tent.

Open the bag and as you take out the tent look at the way it has been packed. This will help you when you come to repack it.
When selecting your campsite, the ideal place would be an area as even and clean of rocks, branches and other sharp objects as possible.
Spread out the tent and place it with the door in the desired direction, avoid placing the tent directly under trees, and position it with the end into the wind direction, for best results in windy conditions.
Get the most out of your camping trip by having a trial run, putting up and taking down your new tent in order to know it before you use it for the first time.
Under certain weather conditions, condensation can occur on the inside surfaces of your tent. To help prevent this you must remove wet clothes etc., increase ventilation or erect your tent on an Outwell® Footprint.

Condensation should not be confused with leakage.

The flysheet is made of waterproof material. To prevent water from seeping through the flysheet avoid touching the inside surface in rainy weather conditions.
When erecting your tent, do not secure it too tightly, otherwise it will not be able to adapt to varying wind and weather conditions.
If strong winds are expected, replace the normal tent pegs with storm pegs. Do not use guylines to pull out the tent pegs. For stony or hard ground stronger U-form pegs are recommended.
Insecticides must not be sprayed in or on the tent as they may damage the fabric and coating!
When taking down and packing the tent, it must be completely dry to avoid mildew/rotting. We recommend that after use all metal poles be lightly greased with a nonacidic oil.
Remove dirt from the tent with a soft sponge and pure water. Never wash the tent in a washing machine and never have it dry-cleaned. Store the tent in a dry place.
Even though we have used special waterproof thread for all seams, we recommend that you use a seam sealer or a waterproof spray at regular intervals for all seams around the zips and toggles, these seams are some of the weaker points on your tent as there can be a lot of tension around them.
Please note that the tape may come off after prolonged exposure to the sun. If this happens you can repair your tent by removing loose tape and use a seam sealer and waterproof spray to re-seal seams.
Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to direct sunlight for longer periods of time. Outtex® fabric used on Outwell® tents increases the lifetime of the tent.
If your tent has a mud valance never use it to adjust the tent or use the mud valance to pull the tent pegs out. The mud valance is one of the weaker points on the tent as it is only designed to keep wind and water out of the living and storage area.

Taking down your tent

When detachable take out the groundsheet and clean it if necessary with a sponge and water. Clean dirty floors the same way. (Allow it to dry before packing the tent).
If the inner tent is wet or dirty, take it out and clean it, the tent can be packed down with or without the inner tent inside.
Then start to unpeg the tent and the guylines. Gently remove the poles from the pins and then gently push the poles through the sleeves. Do not pull the poles through!
You are now ready to fold the tent. Try to fold it so you have all metal pins/rings at one side (to prevent them from making holes in the flysheet).
When you have folded the tent, measure it with the carrybag to make sure it is not too wide. You should now be able to roll the tent round the poles in their pole bag and fit it into the Outwell carrybag.
Best regards,

Outwell Wind Stabilizer System

Testing and determination of Outwell Wind Stabilizer System (OWS System) performance and matching Beaufort ratings is based on the knowledge and technique available to Outwell at the time of testing. Outwell is not responsible if a subsequent development may show that Outwell’s knowledge and technique is flawed or incorrect. The ratings to this tent are obtained by erecting and testing similar tents at the facilities of Oase Outdoors ApS. The ratings are therefore no guarantee for the properties of this tent. Factors such as varying ground conditions, inadequate pegs, sun, rain, temperature, other weather conditions, defective or incorrect erection of the tent and normal wear and tear can lead to a performance of the tent that differs from the specified ratings.
