BEFORE YOU GO OUTDOORS, DO THIS FIRST!

• Before using your canvas wall tent in the wilderness, we recommend you assemble it before your camping trip to get familiar with the setup process before you arrive at the camp.
• Make sure to read the owner’s manual carefully before you start setting up your canvas tent.

SEASONING YOUR TENT

• With your canvas tent set up, we recommend that you spray the tent with water and allow it to dry completely.
• This process is known as seasoning the canvas. The water causes the fibres to swell and tighten up, closing any fibre holes made in the manufacturing process. You only need to “season” your tent once.
• The setup process requires at least two people and it takes around thirty minutes. If there are more people, it can be done faster. Make sure to read the warnings and care instructions to ensure the longevity of your tent.
• Please get in touch if you have any questions or ideas for how we can do things differently to improve your experience. We’d love to hear about your adventures!

THANK YOU: For choosing White Duck Outdoors as your supplier and partner in Outdoor Camping gear!

WARNINGS

• Fire Safety:
  • KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT’S FABRIC
  • The materials used in the manufacture of the Fire Water Repellent fabric meet the flame resistance requirements of CPAI-84. It is not fireproof.
  • The fabric will ignite and burn if left in continuous contact with any open flame or other sources of ignition.
  • The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric may render the flame resistant properties ineffective.
  • Canvas tents are not for use with open fire pits. Fire safety is the responsibility of the user.
  • We encourage you to educate yourself and practice vigilant fire safety. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns at any time.
  • It is imperative to acknowledge the local rules and regulations and if you are unsure, to ask about campsite / local policies or refer to the local civil protection/defence, forestry, and fire service websites for further information.
  • Always check local fire restrictions before starting a fire as rules and regulations may change frequently throughout the year.
  • NOTE: White Duck Outdoors cannot be held liable for any damage or injury to persons or property resulting from the use or misuse of fire or flammable materials in or around our tents.

PRECAUTIONS

• The following precautions should be taken when you go outdoors:
• Be certain that your tent is properly ventilated (especially if you decide to ignore the first warning and use a heater in your tent). Carbon monoxide is real and can cause serious damage such as death. Vents and screens are built into the tent body.
• Be sure to anchor your tent properly— this is not a free-standing tent —follow these instructions for proper staking practices and ensure that all guylines & pegs are securely fixed.
• Be certain that children are supervised in and around the tent at all times.
• Do not use candles, matches or open flames of any kind in or near a tent.
• It is better to not cook inside a tent, but if you are, do not leave cooking unattended. Make sure grills, cooking appliances and similar must not be placed nearer than 1 meter to the tent canvas.
• There should be no use of open fires or glowing charcoal inside tents or near tent canvas – fire can spread very quickly.
• There should be no use of open fires or glowing charcoal inside tents or near tent canvas as there is a significant risk from the buildup of Carbon Monoxide (CO), particularly in a confined space inside the tent.
• All flexible tubes and couplings to the gas burner should be checked for leakage and that it is in good order
• Build campfires downwind and several meters away from a tent and be sure to fully extinguish campfires before leaving a campsite or before retiring for the night.
• Exercise extreme caution when using fuel-powered lanterns or heaters inside a tent and use battery-operated lanterns whenever possible. Do not refuel lamps, heaters or stoves inside a tent. Extinguish or turn off all lanterns before going to sleep.
• Ensure that electrical appliances are in good condition with no frayed wires etc. Do not leave laptops or phones tables plug in and charging unattended
• Do not smoke in a tent or store flammable liquids inside a tent. Installation of log burners or heating equipment at your own risk.
• Do not pitch under trees, on cliffs or in places with uneven surfaces; this can lead to you falling.

WARRANTY

• White Duck Outdoors strives to manufacture the best possible products for our customers.
• Our limited lifetime warranty covers products against defects in materials or workmanship.
• This warranty is cheerfully extended to the original owner only and excludes normal wear and tear (e.g., zippers that wear out after extended use) or misuse.
• Please follow the care instructions. If, after inspection, a product is determined by us to be defective in workmanship or materials, we will repair or replace it at our option, at no cost to you.

FIRST!

• Remember, a dry tent is a healthy tent. Do not store your tent when it is damp.
• If you must break camp and roll up a damp tent, be sure to stake it back out and set it up fully when you get home so it can air dry.
• Even small amounts of moisture (when your tent is stored) can cause mould to grow on the natural fibres of the canvas.
• This same mould will also damage your tent’s water repellency. Mould growth on your tent is not covered by warranty.

UNDERSTANDING THE FRAME

Angle Kits:

• All the 3-way or 4-way angle kits that fit into the middle ridge poles and roof poles are golden, whereas, all the angle kits that fit into side ridge poles, roof poles and foot poles are silver.
• All the adjustment pins/buttons on the Middle & Side Ridge Poles and Roof Poles are color-coded; golden or silver.
• For angle kits, look at their color code; golden or silver.
• All the poles will fit in the angle kit accord- ing to their respective colours (look at the buttons/pins on the poles, they are either golden or silver and match with their respective angle kits).
• 3-way angle kits go on the end of the tent frame and the 4-way angle kits are in the middle, side and front of the frame.
• The colour-coded angle kits will fit into the poles (pay special attention to pinning colour) and can be seen once the frame is assembled.

• Connection Poles:   Three of the 4-way Angle Kits (1 golden, 2 silver) at the front are used to provide an extension to add connection poles that are used to put an awning or porch at the front of your tent, an added feature that could be utilized during the summer or winter season perfectly.
• Steel Wire: There is an additional steel wire that goes at the front of the wall tent. It provides the frame extra support and prevents the frame from collapsing during heavy winds and snow load.  The Center fitting hook of the steel wire is golden for easy identification.
• Pins are used to staking the tent through the bottom eyelet/ grommet at the front door and back wall. Also, to stake the mud flap at each section.
• Jpegs are used to stake the footpole into the ground.
• Vpegs are used to stake the guylines attached to the bungee cord outside the wall tent.

NOTE: Pitch your tent on clear ground, and remove debris, rocks or sticks where you plan to set up your canvas wall tent. The adjustment pins on poles and angle kits are colour-coded as golden and silver to simplify the setting up process. (Refer to Image 2) The roof poles which are inflated or deflated and the side & middle ridge poles are used to make the roof frame structure. The measurement of the poles is provided on page 3 of this manual for easy identification, all you need is a measuring tape. The foot poles have a base plate with a buckle clip lock system at the end so it’s easily recognizable. Roof poles have adjustment pins/buttons, whereas, side and middle ridge poles are plain.

ASSEMBLE THE TENT

• Step # 1:
  • Unpack the tent and poles bags TIP: Extend all of your poles and sort them into groups by style i.e. roof poles, side and middle ridge poles, and foot poles. This will simplify the assembly process. Take the tent cover, poles and angle kits out from their waterproof bags. Lay out all the key components on the ground and sort out all frame pieces i.e. poles and angle kits. Determine canvas tent orientation (direction of entrance you prefer) and position angle kits & tent frame on the floor in the appropriate location for set up. Layout the pieces in the progression in which they will be assembled. Keep this manual in front of you while taking out all the tent items from the box.
• Step # 2:
  • Assemble the tent frame: Assemble the middle ridge poles forming one long piece with the help of 3-way and 4-way golden-coloured angle kits. Place the roof poles in angle kits to complete the frame Then, attach side ridge poles one by one along with silver-coloured angle kits Look down the frame to make sure all the Side Ridge, Middle Ridge and Roof poles are in line and properly positioned in the angle kits as per their colour codes (golden and silver). In the end, attach the steel wire on the top front part of the tent frame on the side (silver) and middle (golden) angle kits.
• Step# 3:
  • Install foot poles on the tent: Attach foot poles (with base plate at the end) of one lateral side to (side) ridge poles. Lift the edge of the tent frame and place the foot poles in the angle kits of the side ridge poles. All of the pins on tent poles and angle kits are colour-coded so the colour of the pole button should match the one on the angle kit for accurate installation of the tent. Make sure the wall poles are up only on one side, this will make the next step easier.
• Step # 4: Place tent fabric on top of frame:
  • TIP: Unzip all door zippers to prevent strain on zippers. Once the roof is together and the frame is low to the ground at one side, pull the tent cover over the roof making sure to orient the front door as desired and position the tent so it fits over the frame at all angles. Grab the bottom part of the tent and pull up and over the frame.
  • TIP: Flip up the side walls above the eaves of the tent for easy installation of foot poles and tie up the Stove Pipe Shield flap. Pull down the side walls of the tent to ground level over the frame, keeping it even as you pull. The angles of the tent wall should match the angles of the frame. Work it over the frame gradu­ally. Make adjustments to even or square the tent.
  • TIP: Adjust your tent to the frame. Do not pull hard on your tent or else the seams and zipper door will be weakened. The canvas fabric cover should fit the tent effortlessly and smoothly without requiring any force.
  • TIP: Do not drag the tent cloth when assembling and dismantling to avoid damage to the canvas.
• Step # 5:
  • Tent Walls; Mount the lateral side and install the remaining foot poles on the other side of the tent. Make sure all the roof poles, foot poles, and side & middle ridge poles are aligned with the double layer of reinforced canvas strategically placed to avoid condensation.
• Step # 6: Insert the stakes into the ground
  • Place the stakes through the guylines, staking down the perimeter of the tent. In line with each bungee cord on the eaves of the tent, place a stake in the ground at least five feet away from the tent. Attach and tighten the guylines gently through the metal runners to adjust the tension. Pound the stakes in a way that the top of the stake is touching the ground.
  • First, insert the pins to stake the tent through the bottom eyelet/grommet at the front door, back wall and mud flap at each section. Then, use the Jpegs to stake the footpole into the ground. Make sure the clip at the end of the footpole’s base plate is locked. (insert attached picture here). In the end, place the stakes through the guylines, staking down the perimeter of the tent. In line with each bungee cord on the eaves of the tent, place a stake in the ground at least five feet away from the tent. Attach and tighten the guylines gently through the metal runners to adjust the tension. Pound the stakes in a way that the top of the stake is touching the ground.
  • TIP: Stakes should be driven in at a 45-degree angle away from the tent for optimal pitching. Guy ropes are approximately at the same angle as the tent roof.  In case of high winds, tie the guy ropes to trees, stumps or logs. Another method is to have two guy ropes and stakes for each eave corner.
  • TIP 2: All the guy ropes need to follow the lines of the seams in the roof. Adjust the guy rope slider which will allow adjustment in both directions. It is important to make sure the tent stays symmetrical and that the tension is evenly spread.
• Step# 7: Lay the groundsheet
  • Lay the groundsheet. Fold the mud flap inside and put the groundsheet on top of it to prevent insects or water from coming inside the tent.
  • Tips on how to cut stove jack holes: Alpha Wall Tent includes a stove jack with a 5″ or 6″ pattern on it. It’s not pre-cut as stove pipe comes in different sizes or there will be too much of a gap or not enough gap so we leave it up to you to cut it at your convenience. You can use a cutter, scissor or pocket knife to cut it. The easiest way is to mark an ‘X’ inside the circle and cut it with the help of scissors or a cutter. You can later remove the four flaps one by one.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Store all poles and stakes in their corresponding bags to prevent any possible tearing or damage to the tent fabric cover.

• STEP # 1: Remove the stakes and guyropes:
  • Carefully remove all the stakes (Vpegs, Jpegs and pins). Do not pull or tug at the stake loops or it will tear the fabric. Remove excess soil and dirt from the stakes, and clean it before storing it back.
• STEP # 2: Take down the tent
  • Clean the floor and remove it.
  • Remove the foot poles from one side. When the frame is down at one side, take down the tent cover from the frame.
  • Disengage the frame starting with foot poles. Carefully fold the poles and store them in their bag.
• STEP # 3: Fold the tent cover
  • Make sure the door zippers are open. Fold the tent into a rectangular shape and roll it tightly together, slowly squeezing air out as you go.
  • Always fold your tent walls to the inside of the canvas tent to avoid your tent getting dirty from the inside.
  • ALWAYS have the  inside of the tent touching other parts of the inside of the tent when taking down the tent or when folding the tent for storage as the outside part has dirt on it.
  • Enioy! Reach out to us if you have any questions.

TIPS TO CARE FOR YOUR ALPHA WALL TENT
Please follow the tips below on packing up your tent after a fun trip. The tent is not designed to get through one festival season or getaway, it’s made from high-density tightly woven canvas with a breathable high-performance finish, thus, more durable and will last much longer. Do not leave your tent unattended in severe weather conditions!

• Golden Rule:
  • Never, repeat, NEVER store or pack your tent and ropes away wet, damp or dirty.
  • If you own a cotton canvas tent, make sure to never store it either wet or damp, even the ropes.
  • The moisture trapped inside will make the life of the tent shorter. At times, you don’t have much of a choice but to pack it; in damp condition, make sure you hang it up to dry within a day or two.
  • Otherwise, fungus can affect the tent leading to tiny little black spots all over your tent which are permanent.
• Keep it clean
  • To remove marks, use a soft brush or sponge with fresh water and mild detergent only and rinse with clean water. Allow to dry thoroughly. Wipe down all metal surfaces with a damp cloth.
  • After beach use or wet conditions treat all zips and metal components with silicon spray. Remove the stains as soon as they appear, it’s way easier to brush off the dirt and dried mud when the tent is dry by using a scrubbing brush.
• Set up your tent properly
  • A simple yet effective way to ensure enhanc­ing your tent’s life span. The canvas can become stressed if the tent isn’t set up correctly which would eventually lead towards damage.
• Leakage
  • Cotton canvas fabric normally expands when exposed to a wet environment to make itself waterproof.
  • There might be a possibility that it may leak a bit when you set it up for the first time.
  • The cotton fibres will swell and close up any tiny holes that might cause the leakage again.
  • Don’t freak out, it’s okay as this will no longer happen again because of the natural cotton phenomenon.
• Ventilation
  • Make sure that your tent is stored in a dry, well-ventilated place. Due to insufficient ventilation, the fungus can affect the canvas. It is important to store your tent dry so no fungus or other stains can appear.
