How to Care for Your Tent
GENERAL TIPS
Use a ground cloth under the tent whenever possible. If you choose, Eureka! has pre-cut sizes. If not, trace the tent on the ground cloth and cut smaller than the tent footprint to avoid having it act as a water collector. Ground cloths are easier and less expensive to replace than torn tent floors. Try not to wear shoes inside your tent. Bring a small rug or mat to put inside the tent door to wipe off mud and catch sand. Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones. Do not keep food inside the tent. Hungry critters will chew through the tent fabric in search of a snack.
