In tent maintenance, common incorrect operations and correction methods are as follows:
Not pulling the windbreak rope:
Error: Many people think that windbreak ropes are dispensable when there is no wind.
Correction: Windbreak ropes not only prevent wind but also separate the inner and outer tents of the tent, preventing dew condensed in the outer tent from wetting the inner one. Be sure to tighten the windbreak rope to ensure the tent is full.
Driving floor nails wrongly:
Error: Drive the floor nail straight into the ground at a 90-degree Angle.
Correction: The floor nails should be driven in at an Angle of 45 to 60 degrees to the outside at an Angle to bear the maximum load.
Tie the wind rope tightly:
Error: Tying the wind rope directly to the ground nail.
Correction: Use the three-hole slider on the wind rope to adjust the tightness to prevent the wind rope from loosening due to the tent shaking.
Wrong folding of the tent
Error: Fold the tent along the original pattern every time.
Correction: Frequent folding along the same pattern will cause the creases to harden, affecting the water resistance. It should be folded at will to avoid creasing and hardening.
Storing the tent before it is completely dried:
Error: Storing the tent without drying it after use.
Correction: After use, the tent should be thoroughly dried to prevent moisture from causing the fabric and coating to separate and reducing water resistance.
Wash the tent with a washing machine:
Error: Using a washing machine to clean the tent.
Correction: The rotation of the washing machine can easily tear the tent material, and spinning dry can damage the coating and the adhesive. Gently scrub with clean water and let it dry naturally.
Clean the tent with strongly alkaline or strongly acidic detergent:
Error: Using strongly alkaline or strongly acidic detergents to clean tents.
Correction: Choose a mild detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of the tent.
Long-term compressed storage of tents:
Error: Storing tents in a compressed manner for a long time.
Correction: Prolonged compression can cause wrinkles to form on the outer and bottom parts of the tent, affecting its lifespan. The tent materials inside and outside should be stacked to avoid being compressed for a long time.
Neglect the cleaning of the bottom surface of the tent:
Error: The mud and sand on the bottom of the tent were not cleaned up after use.
Correction: After use, the bottom surface of the tent should be cleaned, and the mud and sand should be wiped off to prevent wear and corrosion.
The tent accessories and their integrity were not inspected:
Error: The integrity of the tent accessories was not checked after use.
Correction: After each use, check the waterproof layer, zippers, scratches, broken wires, or dropped wires of the tent, and send it for repair in a timely manner.
