TOOLPORT 8x8m Storage Tent Instruction Manual

1. Safety Information

This storage tent is designed for safe year-round use. It is crucial to ensure the structure is properly anchored and stabilized to withstand adverse weather conditions. Always follow the assembly and maintenance instructions provided to guarantee maximum safety and longevity of the tent.

The tensile strength of the tarpaulin is 850 N, complying with DIN EN ISO 13934-1. This standard determines tear resistance through a tensile test using a 5 cm wide strip sample of the tarpaulin. The indicated value represents the tear force per 5 cm of tarpaulin width (warp or weft threads). Always use the tent in accordance with these safety guidelines to prevent hazards.
