Tent and Footprint Cleaning and Care Instructions:

Storage:

Always make sure your tent is dry and free of debris before storing. Fold and roll your tent a different way each time to avoid permanent creases. Store in a cool, dry place. Never leave your tent in hot temperatures (such as a car trunk or attic space) for long periods of time, as it will damage the material coatings. Storing your tent damp can result in mildew growth, which may cause your tent to smell, leak, or delaminate. Mildew damage is not covered under warranty.

Cleaning:

For light cleaning, sponge the product with warm water (not hot).

For more thorough cleaning you will need:
-Wash basin (or bath tub)-Warm water (not hot)
-Waterproof Gear Cleaner (we recommend products like Nikwax Tech Wash)
-Sponge

1. Submerge your gear in warm, clean water. Gently agitate with hands. Empty dirty water. Repeat until most of the excess dirt/grime is removed and water is mostly clear.
2. Apply waterproof gear specific wash and gently work into fabric with sponge.
3. Rinse gear thoroughly.
4. Hang it up to dry.
5. Triple check that your gear is completely dry before storage or use.

*Do not dry clean or machine-wash. Detergents and dry cleaning solvents will damage the fabric and ruin waterproofing.
*Never use hot water, bleach, liquid detergents, or dishwashing liquids.
*Allow to dry COMPLETELY before storage or use.
*Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as UV exposure can compromise waterproofing.

Seam Sealing:

Big Agnes tents are seam sealed as part of our manufacturing process! This seam tape alone is durable enough to prevent water leakage. Any seams that have been taped do not need to be seam sealed with a liquid sealer unless you want extra protection. Make sure the seam-sealer is completely dry before re-packing your tent. Damage caused by misapplication may void warranty.

Zippers:

Keeping your zippers clean will help keep the coils and sliders from wearing out. If filled with dirt, vacuum or brush zippers before storing tent. We recommend Gear Aid Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant.

Repairs and Warranty:

All Big Agnes tents are guaranteed against manufacturing or material defect. We do not warranty products damaged from normal wear and tear, alteration made by owner, misuse, accidents or damages caused by uses other than intended. Damage due to misuse, normal wear and tear, or improper care may be repaired, at the discretion of Big Agnes, at a reasonable charge. Tents returned for repair must be clean and free of debris.

Setup

SAND WASH CAR TARP SET UP INSTRUCTIONS:

Connecting storage bag to roof rack:

1. Tarp storage bag can be located on either the side or rear of your roof rack, and can accommodate a rail spacing of 23”-43”. Start by placing bottom of storage bag on roof rack so that aluminum bars & adjustable straps are sitting on rack rails.
2. Determine if adjustable strap location needs to be moved. Move on to step 5 if adjustable strap location is okay.
3. To move adjustable straps: Remove straps from bottom of bag by lifting Cam Buckle lever and pulling webbing end through. Reattach by threading end of webbing strap through appropriate slot in aluminum bar. (Note: warning label on strap should face away from bottom of bag)
4. Place storage bag back on roof rack.
5. Wrap webbing straps around roof rack. Lift up on Cam Buckle lever and insert webbing end through. Pull webbing end to tighten. Check that webbing is inserted properly by pulling on loop. If loop does not slide, the webbing strap is inserted correctly.

Setting up tarp:

1. Unzip storage bag and unroll tarp.
2. Assemble the four poles: two long poles and two adjustable tarp poles. Be careful to insert each pole section by hand, instead of allowing the shock cord to snap them together to ensure each pole section is fully seated.
3. Locate the two pole sleeves that make an “X” on the top of the tarp. Insert the end of one of the long poles into the sleeve opening and push the pole tip all the way to the closed end of sleeve. Use the finger loop near the open end of the sleeve to help insert the pole tip end into the grommet. Repeat steps with second long pole.
4. Locate the two adjustable tarp poles. Adjust to the desire height by pulling the top section of pole up until the pin locks into one of the holes. Note: there is a black line near the locking pin to aid with alignment.
5. Insert pole tip of one adjustable tarp pole into grommet at side of tarp (near the ends of the other poles) and stand pole up vertically. Adjust attached guyline and stake into ground. Repeat steps on other side.

6. Stake out corners of loose panel to provide desired coverage (see set up configuration options on back). Note: this panel can also be rolled up and stowed using the loop/toggles.
7. Stake out remaining two guylines near storage bag.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP

Our tents are easy to set up, but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.
We recommend staking out all corners, vestibules and guylines to increase space and ventilation. Securely staking out your tent and all guylines is crucial to maintaining the structural integrity of your tent.
Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.
Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.
Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.

What's in a Name?

The Sand Wash Basin in Northwestern Colorado is actually the birthplace of Picasso. No, not the famed Spanish painter, the wild pinto stallion born in the basin who has since become a symbol of freedom throughout the West. While Sand Wash Basin is a popular place for dirt-bikers, boon-dockers, and mustang enthusiasts looking to explore more than 160,000 acres of BLM land, it remains to this day the home of more than 750 wild mustangs and a slew of other desert-dwelling animals.
