STUCTURAL INTEGRIRTY Although Dune swags and canvas tents are constructed to rigid specifications, periods of wind and rain soaking the ground may loosen pegs and cause the poles to sink into the ground. This will weaken the rigidity of the overall structure and may allow water pockets to form in the roof of the pole assembly is not taught, the weight of which may cause broken poles and torn fabric. This is not covered by warranty. IMPORTANT 1. Before using your swag it must be seasoned to make it fully waterproof. This involves erecting the swag, soaking it completely with water by either rain or hose and letting the swag dry. It is the drying process that waterproofs the swag. Ensure all windows and doors are closed. The wetting and drying process allows the fabric and stitching to shrink and take up. Some water may wick through the stitching during this process.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Release the guy ropes 2. Unzip doors and windows and collapse the swag, removing and disassembling the poles. Place the poles inside the swag. 3. Remove pegs and place in the peg carry bag and tie it shut. Do not remove pegs from the ground by pulling on the peg loops –this may cause the peg loops to tear out of the seam. 4. Spread the swag out flat with all lose fabric within the edges of the swag base. Try to flatten the swag as much as possible. 5. Roll the swag from the head end to the foot then hold rolled up using the webbing straps provided. 6. When the swag is rolled up, place into swag carry bag, with peg bag, instruction sheet and other miscellaneous parts. If the swag does not fit into the carry bag, unroll and re‐roll more tightly. HELPFUL HINTS GUIDE CONDENSATION – this is caused by lower temperatures on the outside of the swag combined with your body heat on the inside of the swag. When this occurs, avoid touching the walls to reduce contact leakage. Leaving the doors and windows open will reduce moisture condensation. SEAM LEAKAGE – all Dune swags are manufactured by expert machinists. However, seepage may occur in the seams through the needle holes created during the sewing process. This is normal and can be corrected by applying a generous amount of seam sealer or wax on the inside on the seams. Seam sealer is available at all retail camping specialists. MILDEW – to avoid mildew, never store your swag away wet or damp. However if mildew occurs, use a soft bristle brush or sponge with mild detergent to clean. Let the swag dry in the sunlight and re‐apply seam sealer compound on the inside of the seams. REPAIRING A TEAR – for small tears, use a self‐adhesive patch kit. We recommend a canvas or awning repairer for larger tears. ...
