- Allow the fabric and all components to dry out completely before packing away, storage whilst damp will encourage mould and rust
- Never attempt to loosen or remove the ground pegs by pulling on the fabric or guy ropes
- All parts should be cleaned and packed separately when completely dry, gently remove dirt and debris from the fabric with a soft brush and never use cleaning abrasives or detergents
