Tips for tidying up and storing your tent after use

Some suggestions for tidying up and storing tents after use:

Tents are essential equipment for our outdoor camping. As we all know, tent fabrics are mainly PU coated and silicone coated, and most of the tent seams are pressed with waterproof strips to achieve the purpose of waterproofing.

Since the tent uses waterproof strips, if it is folded and stored, the waterproof strips will bend and be compressed by external forces, which can easily cause the waterproof strips to fall off.

However, due to the large size of the tent, it is generally impossible to hang the tent for storage due to conditions. So what should we pay attention to when storing tents? Jun Ge here to remind everyone:

1. In addition to cleaning the dust and attachments in time after use, the moisture on both sides of the fabric should be wiped off, and folded and stored after it is completely dry. This is very important. If it is not completely dry before storage, it is easy to cause the fabric to mildew and adhesion. Affect the service life of the tent!

2. After the tent is completely dry and folded for storage, try not to put other items on the tent to avoid permanent fatigue and degumming of the waterproof adhesive strip material at the bend. (My personal experience is to find a carton to store tents). I think many friends have more than one tent, so special storage is also conducive to the storage of equipment.

3. Take out the tent regularly or irregularly to dry it for half a day (avoid direct sunlight), reorganize it and then fold it for storage. The advantage of this is that it can prevent the tent fabric from mildewing and sticking, and it can prevent the waterproof adhesive strip at the bend of the tent from permanent fatigue, extending the overall service life of the tent.

4. After the tent is cleaned, it is not advisable to compress it in the original storage bag for storage.
