STEP 7 - Secure poles by tying
at roof top on both sides with
cabana skin ties.
WARNING:
Texsport cabana fabrics are flame retardant treated per C.P. .I.-84 specification. However, for your safety, we recommend that NO OPEN FL ME BE USED
IN OR NE R YOUR C B N .
SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
lways secure your cabana (with the cabana stakes included). Stake one corner, then stake each consecutive corner in a clockwise rotation. Make sure the
cabana remains tight. lways place your cabana a safe distance from your campfire - unstaked cabana placed upwind of the fire can be blown into the
fire. Cabana placed downwind of the fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your cabana.
WATERPROOFING YOUR CABANA:
Texsport cabanas are made from coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all cabana fabrication, can cause water leak-
age where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the cabana will leak. Every new cabana needs to be seam sealed
to make it water tight. We recommend using Texsport Spray Waterproofing/Seam Sealer which may be found at your local outdoor outfitter or camping
store. DO NOT PPLY SE M SE LER TO ZIPPERS.
STAKES:
ll cabanas should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your cabana are effective for most conditions; however, specialized stakes are recommended
in certain cases:
a. Sand Stakes: ..........Long broad stakes designed to hold in loose sand.
b. Steel Stakes: ............Most effective in hard, rocky or frozen soil. These can rust and their sharp edges could damage the cabana if stored with the
..............................cabana. In extremely hard soil a steel rod can be used to make the starter hole.
c. Skewer Stakes: ........Lightweight, but less holding power that the standard stakes.
d. Snow Stakes: ..........The most common method is to bury objects with a great deal of surface area in the snow i.e. branches, aluminum pie plates,
..............................stuff sacks or cabana bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the dead man method). Cabanas can also
..............................be secured to snow skis or poles which are stuck into the snow.
ZIPPERS:
If zippers stick, lubricate with silicone. Never force a zipper which has material caught in it as this will bend the slider and prevent the zipper from closing.
Continual use in a sandy environment can cause the slider to erode and fail to close the zipper.
STORAGE:
Cabanas should be stored dry and loosely folded away from heat and water. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in cabanas. Never store directly
on concrete as moisture and chemicals in concrete may damage the nylon.
WASHING:
Hand wash with a sponge using a mild soap. Never use detergents or washing machines as they may damage the coating or seams. Remember to use
seam sealer once cabana has been washed to insure waterproofing.
HOW LONG WILL A NYLON CABANA LAST?
Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:
a.
nylon cabana which is left erected all summer may last only one or two seasons as the sun's ultra-violet rays damage the nylon.
b.
Never store a cabana wet or damp as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may damage other parts of the
cabana (i.e. zipper tapes)
c.
void spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on cabana fabric as they may be harmful.
REPAIR:
For small tears use a an adhesive backed rip-stop nylon patch. We recommend Texsport Nylon Cabana Repair Kit (#14113) which may be found at your
local outdoor outfitter or camping store.
