Setup Instructions

Assembly of the MINICAMP Teepee Tent requires careful attention. It is recommended that two adults perform the assembly for ease and stability.

1. Prepare the Poles: Unpack all wooden poles. You will have longer vertical poles and shorter horizontal support poles.
2. Assemble Vertical Poles: Connect the sections of the vertical wooden poles. Ensure they are firmly joined.
3. Insert Poles into Canvas: Carefully slide each assembled vertical pole into the designated sleeves within the canvas tent cover.
4. Align Poles at the Top: Gather the tops of all poles together. It is crucial to ensure they are in the correct order and align them properly. Fan the poles out slightly to create the teepee shape.
5. Secure with Rope: Use the provided rope to tie the poles together securely at the top, just above where they emerge from the canvas. This will prevent them from splaying too wide.
6. Install Horizontal Support Poles: Insert the shorter horizontal support poles into their respective slots or pockets inside the teepee. These poles provide extra stability and prevent the teepee from collapsing. Applying force may be necessary to properly seat these poles.
7. Adjust and Stabilize: Gently spread the base of the teepee to achieve the desired footprint and ensure it stands firmly on the floor. Adjust the canvas as needed to smooth out wrinkles.
8. Attach Pom-Poms: Tie the decorative pom-poms to the designated loops or points on the teepee for aesthetic enhancement.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your MINICAMP Kids Teepee Tent, follow these care instructions:

• Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, gently spot clean the canvas fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
• Deep Cleaning: If a more thorough cleaning is required, the canvas cover can be carefully removed from the poles. Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, or machine wash on a delicate cycle. Air dry only; do not tumble dry to prevent shrinkage or damage.
• Ironing: The canvas may wrinkle after washing or prolonged storage. Iron on a low to medium heat setting, preferably with steam, to smooth out creases.
• Pole Care: Wipe wooden poles with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the teepee and store all components in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or mildew.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:

• Teepee is Unstable/Wobbly:
  • Ensure all vertical poles are fully inserted into their canvas sleeves and securely tied at the top.
  • Verify that the horizontal support poles are correctly installed and providing tension. These may require significant force to snap into place.
  • Adjust the spread of the teepee legs evenly on the floor to create a stable base.
• Poles Difficult to Assemble/Connect:
  • Ensure you are connecting the correct pole sections. Some connections may be tight by design to ensure stability.
  • For horizontal support poles, apply firm, steady pressure to click them into place.
• Canvas is Wrinkled:
  • This is normal due to packaging. Iron the canvas on a low to medium heat setting with steam before assembly for a smoother appearance.
