the product is used for the first time. Check if the scope of delivery is
complete.
Weathering your product before first use
The product is manufactured with materials that require preparation
before use to maximize its weatherproofing.
1. Fully set up the product outside when rain is expected or where you
can hose the outside of the product to become thoroughly wet.
This process is known as weathering. The weathering process tight-
ens the fabric, and allows the cotton in the sewing thread to swell and
fill the holes made by the sewing needle during the manufacturing
process.
2. Allow the product to dry thoroughly before packing away.
By following this process before first use, will ensure that the product
weatherproofing will improve with subsequent soakings.
