Our products are not covered under warranty if used outside their purpose. These bell tents are designed for short term use and may not be covered if left up for extended periods of time. If left up in adverse weather, the canvas must be regularly re-waterproofed and treated for mould to ensure longevity of the material.

Smaller bell tents can be easily erected by one person. The larger 5 – 6m bell tents are best erected with two people. Setup can be done in 15mins. Weight of the tents varies from 20kg to 50kg, so may require two people to carry the larger models.

Because of the nature of canvas, it is not inherently waterproof. This is because the fabric naturally has many, tiny gaps where the threads of the fabric intertwine, and until these expand to close the gaps, water may be able to seep through. Weather-proofing is a very easy process, and we recommend it to be done at home in the backyard before your first camping adventure. To do this, assemble the glamping tent as normal, spray over with a hose to simulate a period of rain, then leave to dry naturally. Once this has been repeated a few times, the canvas should be completely waterproof. Exposure to UV radiation reduces waterproofing, and therefore this needs to be repeated from time to time, however if you are leaving the tent erected long-term, we highly recommend using a suitable canvas reproofing product such as Bradproof Reproofing compound, especially in damp, overly humid or tropical environments. Please see our Advice for Longterm Use article.

All of our larger glamping tents come with a flame retardant opening that is suitable for compatible stove burners. When using the built-in flap, the opening means that this is no longer waterproof. To work around this, we offer a piece of heat-proof material that can be cut to the size of your wood burner chimney pipe, and affixed to your tent to create a waterproof opening. For more information or advice on this, please speak to our friendly staff. Stonegate advises that extra care must be taken at all times when using wood burners within your glamping tent, and can accept no responsibility for damage or injury that may occur when using. We advise to always keep a Stanley knife or similar in case you need to evacuate your tent in case of fire and it would be sensible to keep a small fire extinguisher handy. You must ensure there is plenty of ventilation in your tent while using a stove. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur by exhaust fumes leaking from your stove and insufficient ventilation. It is silent and very dangerous and we do not recommend sleeping with your stove on overnight. Please ensure you are properly educated and equipped before using a hot stove in your glamping tent. All of our glamping tents are made with EU- standard flame retardant canvas.

We pride ourselves on using the most durable materials with our glamping tents, however they are designed to be used for short-term and temporary use as per the warranty. Having said that, we recently erected a 5m glamping tent in Maleny and left it up for 8 months unattended to test its durability. In the end, it was a cow that brought on the tents demise, however we were very impressed at how well it survived and remained relatively dry inside, despite experiencing wild winds and major rain events during that time. Our customers have experienced great results from leaving their tents up for longer-term use, however it is important to re-waterproof and treat for mould for maximum enjoyment.

If the canvas becomes wet, or is packed away without being completely dry, in humid conditions mould is likely to grow on the canvas, due to the nature of the material. It is therefore important to ensure that the tent is completely dry when you pack it away, and that it is stored in a dry environment when not in use. Ensure all debris such as fallen leaves and dirt is removed from the tent before packing away. Unfortunately the Queensland climate in particular is quite prone to mould growth given our humid months, so it is important this is treated quickly to avoid damage or staining of your glamping tent. If you find mould on your tent, act quickly before it spreads. White vinegar is an effective mould remover. Mix up one part vinegar with four parts water into a spray bottle. Spray the effected area, leave for 15-20mins, then lightly scrub with soft brush or wet cloth. Ensure that the effected area is left to dry in direct sunlight. This will also help to kill the mould. Alternatively a tent shampoo such as Stimex tent cleaner will help to remove and mould or mildew.
