Operation

The Dancover Portable Garage Tent is designed for straightforward operation as a temporary or semi-permanent storage solution.

• Access: Utilize the two zippered doors for easy entry and exit of vehicles or other stored items. The doors can be rolled up and secured to remain open.
• Ventilation: The integrated ventilation openings help to reduce condensation and maintain air circulation inside the tent. Ensure these openings are not obstructed.
• Security: While the tent provides shelter, it is not a high-security structure. Always remove valuable items when the tent is unattended.

Care and Maintenance

Regular care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Dancover Portable Garage Tent.

• Cleaning the Tarpaulin: Clean the polyethylene tarpaulin periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before folding or storing.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the steel frame for any signs of rust, bending, or loose connections. Tighten any loose bolts or connections as needed.
• Anchoring Check: Periodically check the ground dowels and anchors to ensure they remain firmly secured, especially after strong winds or heavy rain. Re-secure if necessary.
• Snow Removal: In snowy conditions, promptly remove snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive weight from damaging the frame.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, ensure all components are clean and dry. Store the tarpaulin and frame parts in a dry, protected area to prevent mildew and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Dancover Portable Garage Tent.

• Tent is unstable: Ensure all ground dowels and anchors are fully inserted and secured. Check that the frame connections are tight. Consider adding extra anchoring points in very windy conditions.
• Difficulty with assembly: While assembly is designed to be straightforward, it is highly recommended to have at least two people for the installation process. Refer to the assembly instructions and diagrams carefully.
• Water pooling on roof: Ensure the tarpaulin is taut and evenly distributed over the frame. Check that the frame is assembled correctly and is not sagging in any areas.
• Condensation inside: Ensure the ventilation openings are clear and unobstructed to allow for proper airflow.
