A GROUND
CLOTH UNDER THE TENT PREVENTS THE FLOOR FROM FEELING
DAMP AND HELPS
PROLONG ITS LIFE. THE CLOTH SHOULD BE SMALLER THAN THE TENT FLOOR TO PREVENT RAIN
FROM RUNNING UNDER THE TENT.
STAKES SHOULD-BE" PULLED WITH ANOTHER STAKE, HAMMER
OR A STAKE PULLER, BUT NEVER
BY PULLING ON THE TENT. AVOID STAKING TENT SO TIGHT THAT IT STRETCHES
THE FABRIC.
OVERSTRETCHING
MAY CAUSE STAKE LOOPS TO TEAR,
