WARNING:

exsport arbor fabrics are flame retardant treated per C.P.A.I.-84 specification. However, for your safety, we recommend that NO OPEN

FLAME BE USED IN OR NEAR YOUR ARBOR.

SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Make sure you stake the arbor (with the arbor stakes included) in windy weather, or if you anticipate afternoon winds coming up while

you are away from your campsite. Stake one corner, then stake each consecutive corner in a clockwise rotation. Make sure the arbor re-

mains tight. Always place your arbor a safe distance from your campfire - unstaked arbor placed upwind of the fire can be blown into

the fire. Arbor placed downwind of the fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your

arbor.

ATERPROOFING YOUR ARBOR:

Texsport arbors are made from coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all arbor fabrication, can cause

water leakage where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the arbor will leak. Every new arbor

needs to be seam sealed to make it water tight. We recommend using Texsport Spray Waterproofing/Seam Sealer which may be found

t your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.

RBOR STAKES:

All arbors should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your arbor 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 arbor if

........................stored with the arbor. 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 arbor bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the dead

........................man method). Arbors 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:

Arbors should be stored dry and loosely folded, away from heat and water. Keep out of reach of mice as they like to nest in arbors.

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. re-

member to use seam sealer once arbor had been washed to insure waterproofing.

HOW LONG WILL A NYLON ARBOR LAST?

Various conditions will affect the length of service which you receive:

a. A nylon arbor 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 arbor wet or damp, as mildew may develop. It will not harm nylon, however, mildew is unsightly and may damage

other parts of the arbor (i.e. zipper tapes).

c. Avoid spraying insect repellent or hair sprays, etc. on arbor fabric as they may be harmful.

REPAIR:

For small tears use a an adhesive backed rip-stop nylon patch. We recommend Texsport Nylon Arbor Repair Kit which may be found at

your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.
