  • Page 2 Pitching your tent/awning - Valve Tightening Prior to inflating your new tent or awning it is imperative to check that each of the valves are correctly tightened to prevent any loss of air, this will also need doing periodically throughout the products life, as valves can work loose over time.

  • Page 7 Packing your tent Continue folding from each end, Squeeze out as much air as possible whilst folding Keep folding the tent until you end up with one long rectangle - The width of this needs to be less than the carry bag width Then start rolling towards the valve side of the tent, squeezing out as much air as possible (use your bodyweight to push down on the tent whilst rolling) Once rolled up, secure tent with ties, place bag upside down onto tent and roll over.
  • Page 8 Q. How long are products covered for? We go that bit further at Khyam. We don’t just guarantee our products for a set time frame. We like to be more flexible because the lifespan of our products varies depending on a few factors. For example, a heavily used or poorly maintained item will probably have a shorter life than an averagely used or well-looked after item.
  • Page 9 Q . Are Khyam awnings water resistant? All Khyam flysheet fabrics are coated to withstand in excess of 5000mm head of water in the hydrostatic head test. This is a measure by which we can test the resistance of water penetration. This is the measurement when the fabric is new and in use over a period of time this level will drop.
  • Page 10 OTHER USEFUL POINTS TO BEAR IN MIND. 1. Never remove pegs by pulling up on the poles or fabric by doing this you may damage the pole or awning invalidating the guarantee. Always use a peg puller or another peg 2.
