Arch 2 Trekking Hiking Tent
Congratulation on your new Robins Tent designed and created to accompany you
out into the great outdoors.
When selecting your campsite, the ideal place would be an area as even and
clean of rocks, branches and other sharp objects as possible.
Note how everything is packed together when you open the transport sack and
pull out the tent. This will make it easier to pack away again.
Spread out the tent and place it with the doors facing the desired directions,
avoid placing the tent directly under trees, and position it with the end
facing the direction of the wind, for best results in windy conditions.
Assemble and raise the tent
- Now put the shock-corded poles together and push them until they stop with the bell-shaped end foreword into the black sleeves sewn to the tent (the longer pole at the front, the shorter at the rear).
- Place one pole end in the eyelet at the matching pegging loop, whereby the pole forms an arch.
Do the same with the other pole. Now fix the tent end facing the wind with
pegs, then pull the tent until it is good and tight and peg it down on the
front. You can now completely secure the tent with pegs.
Finally, secure the tent against strong winds with the reattached guiltiness
and pegs.
Use a mallet to secure the pegs in the ground but be careful of your hands and
feet when hitting the peg.
Please turn over for more tips and information.
Cleaning and maintenance tips
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 a PVC mat.
Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to
direct sunlight for longer periods of time.
Robins Products are made for camping use which is normally 2-5 weeks usage a
year. They are not designed for permanent usage and should only be used as
camping products. Camping near the sea or lake can further enhance the effect
of UV radiation. The same applies to poles and metal parts.
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 guiltiness 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.
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 guiltiness. 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 carry bag 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 Robins carry bag.
