2. Safety Instructions
Proper assembly and secure anchoring are crucial for the safe operation and longevity of your Dancover Storage Tent. Please read and follow all instructions carefully.
- Anchoring: Ensure the storage tent is securely anchored to the ground using the provided ground pegs and anchors. This is vital to protect the tent against strong winds.
- Wind Apron: The tarpaulin features an apron on both sides. For optimal protection against side winds, this apron must be dug into the ground or covered with heavy stones or other heavy material.
- Foundation: For a more permanent solution, the storage tent can be erected on a concrete foundation using expansion bolts. Consult a professional for proper installation on concrete.
- Weather Conditions: While the tent is 100% waterproof and UV-resistant, extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow loads or exceptionally strong winds may require additional precautions or temporary disassembly. Regularly check the tent's stability.
- Clearance: Ensure adequate clearance around the tent, especially for the doors, to prevent obstruction and damage.
