    He likes nothing better than to hang out with friends in his SoulPad, chewing the fat whilst listening to some cool tunes. He has a twinkle in his eye and a lot of love to give. His friends and his SoulPad are the...

    Erect the SoulPad according to the instructions. Never assume you will remember the order in which to erect your SoulPad. Bad habits are easy to fall in to and can have a negative impact on the longevity of your SoulPad.

    The direction of the prevailing wind should also be taken into consideration. Try to pitch with the back of your SoulPad facing the prevailing wind. This will help to conduct the wind over the SoulPad rather than up against it.

    Guy Line Preparation 6. Now it’s time to get the guy lines ready. The first time you erect your SoulPad you will need to unravel all of the guy lines. Do not peg out the guy lines at this stage, we’re just getting them ready for later steps.

    17. Once the first three guy lines are in place at the front, go to the back of your SoulPad and repeat with the opposite three guy lines at the back (remember, with plenty of slack).

    HOW TO ROLL THE WALLS UP AND DOWN To roll up 1) Un-peg the canvas loops on the outside of the SoulPad tent, at the base of the walls but leave them in position in the ground. 2) Un-peg the mudguard from the groundsheet.

    Mildew is often irremovable, and so its prevention is of very high importance. If you are forced to pack your SoulPad tent away when it is damp or wet then it must be erected again within 24 hours, even in adverse weather.

    SoulPad tent. It reads as follows: - Never block the exit of your SoulPad on the inside or the outside of the tent. In the event of an emergency the exit will need to be clear of obstacles to allow the occupants to vacate the tent as quickly as possible.
  • Page 13: Ventilation

    VENTILATION The SoulPad 4000-lite has three vents at the peak of the tent. These are lined with a mosquito mesh. The vents must be kept clear at all times. Never block the vents. To do so will compromise the tents performance and the occupant’s safety.
  • Page 14: Weathering

    (cooking stains, wine and sun cream) all limit the lifespan of your cotton canvas SoulPad tent, as will the level of care and maintenance that you choose to apply. Any problem areas should be dealt with immediately.

    Immediate effects of UV can be ‘bleaching’ - a change in colour of the canvas to lighter shades. Compare your SoulPad canvas fly sheet with the canvas bag it came in. They are made of the same material but it is likely that the canvas bag has been less exposed to UV.

    SoulPad, always re-waterproof that area too. Whether it is a small area that is being treated, or the entire SoulPad, this is an important rule to follow as failure to do so will lead to leaks.
  • Page 17: Repairs

    Larger rips and tears will need to be patched, but again use a needle and thread to do so. Try to use the same canvas colour and type as the original SoulPad. If applying a patch, try to use a diamond shape with the peak of the diamond being upmost.
