Using the Veranda poles (optional)
The length of the veranda poles (accessories) is fully adjustable with the
twist locks. The poles can be used for the following applications:
• The poles can give extra strength to the awning tent during heavy
weather conditions. The awning tent has five positions for the mount-
ing of the poles.
• The poles can be mounted across the two door openings to provide
a drying rail.
• The doors and windows can be rolled over the poles forming an open-
ing for better air circulation in nice weather.
Troubleshooting
I
NOTE
• During first exposure to water there may be some
moisture at the seams. Through this moisture the threads
will swell and fill the holes that are created in the sewing
process.

– Waterproofer
– Repair tape and repair solution
– Silicone spray for the zippers
– Spare pegs
