Safety Information

• Always use sandbags to anchor the tent in windy conditions. Failure to do so may result in the tent blowing away or causing injury.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, even within the tent. While the tent offers UPF 50+ protection, excessive sun exposure can still occur.
• Keep the tent away from open flames, heaters, and other heat sources to prevent fire hazards.
• Ensure proper ventilation, especially when using the tent in enclosed spaces or during hot weather.
• Do not use the tent as a permanent shelter. It is designed for temporary outdoor use.

Setup Instructions

The GOLABS BT1 Pop-Up Beach Tent features a pre-attached pole system for quick and easy setup. Follow these steps for assembly:

1. Unpack the Tent: Remove the tent from its carry bag and lay it flat on the ground.
2. Lift and Extend: Grasp the center hub of the tent and gently lift it upwards. The pre-attached poles will begin to extend automatically.
3. Lock into Place: Continue lifting until the tent structure fully expands and locks into its open position. You may hear a click as the mechanism engages.
4. Secure the Corners: Pull out each corner of the tent to fully extend its footprint.
5. Fill Sandbags: For stability, especially in windy conditions, fill the 6 integrated sandbags located around the base of the tent with sand or small rocks. This anchors the tent firmly.
6. Adjust Ventilation: Open or close the mesh windows and privacy curtains as desired.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the tent with a soft cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew and odor. Air dry in a shaded area.
• Storage: Fold the tent according to the instructions (reverse of setup) and store it in its original carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Pole Care: Inspect fiberglass poles for any damage or splinters before and after each use.

Troubleshooting

Tent is not stable in windy conditions:

Ensure all 6 sandbags are fully filled with sand or heavy material. If on grass or hard ground, use tent pegs (not included) to secure the tent corners. Position the tent with its back facing the strongest wind direction if possible.

Difficulty folding the tent back into the bag:

Folding pop-up tents can sometimes require practice. Ensure all poles are fully collapsed and the fabric is neatly gathered before attempting to roll it tightly. Refer to the video demonstration for visual guidance on folding.

Poles appear bent or damaged:

Avoid excessive force during setup or takedown. If a pole is damaged, contact GOLABS customer support for replacement parts or assistance.
