​Camping is a classic outdoor sport that people love. Setting up a camping tent is like moving your home to nature, it will protect you and your family from the wind, rain, and cold. With the development and application of new technologies and new fabrics, camping tents are becoming more and more lightweight, comfortable, and durable. So, how long does a good camping tent last? If you use it properly, maintain it properly, and take care of it, it can stay with you for many years of great camping. In this article, Friday Camp Decor will introduce you to cleaning and maintenance tips for camping tents.

Cleaning:

Choose a cool, ventilated, and flat place spread a thin layer of plastic sheeting and set up a tent on it. Open the inner tent first, check whether there are uncleaned small bugs or sand and grass clippings inside and outside the inner tent, and clean it. Put on the tent, and use a small brush dipped in clean water to wipe off snow, rain, and mud stains on the camping tent. Spray a waterproofing spray on the outside tent. (If the tent is of the type with the outer tent first, you can set up the outer tent and the inner tent first, and then carry out the above cleaning work.) After the camping tent is fully dry, put away the inner tent and the outer tent, and place the ground nails and tent poles in turn. In the outer bag; neatly roll up the windproof rope and put it in the outer bag, and store it in a cool and ventilated place. To clean camping tents, use mild soap or a special camping tent cleaner to remove stubborn stains. But try not to use products containing detergents or detergents, which will damage the waterproofness of the camping tent.

Repair:

Introducing some simple and useful camping tent repair tips:

Holes: This can be repaired using the repair kit that comes with the camping tent. First, remove the dust or dirt around the hole, apply adhesive around the hole, then stick the repair cloth on it, and let it dry for a few minutes.

Outer tent tear: waterproof tape may be used. On the outside surface of the camping tent, align the torn edges as evenly as possible and tape them over. Then, apply silicone sealant on the inside and let it cure for 10 to 12 hours.

Cracks at the seams: The seams that experience the most stress are also where cracks occur most often.

Generally, there are three ways:

Use waterproof tape for quick fixes. You can also choose to sew on your own: use needle and thread to sew in an original way to ensure sufficient strength, and then apply sealant and waterproof repair agent to the stitches. You can also find a professional camping tent repair shop for repair.

Cracked, shattered, or broken tent poles:

Strong winds or improper use can cause poles to crack, shatter, or break, so it's important to know how to develop an effective solution. The preferred solution is to use the tent poles that come with the camping tent for replacement, or you can purchase camping tent accessories separately;

If the tent pole is bent, you can find a branch or thin wooden stick through the tent pole, and then press it lightly with a stone to restore it to its original shape; if the tent pole is shortened into two parts, you can use the same method to use Twigs or thin wooden sticks are put into it, the broken tent poles are rounded by flat, and tape is wrapped around the outside to fix it.
