Hi guys, hosed my new fistral 4 yesterday was brill water just beeded off, got up this morning to find a kindly seagull had left a message on tent roof, so decided to hose it off before it dried on properly, i did so all be it with a very strong jet of water , i might add tent is also not as pulled tight as it could be, and the water started coming thru where i was hosing, now i am putting this down to me being a very silly person and using too strong a jet of water!!!, and guess i am looking for reassurance that this is the case.

Thanks Tammy

You sure the water came through, and that tent was not condensated from overnight. The hosing on that point would have likely caused any condensation to drop straight down below.

Assuming tent is still up, open all the vensts, windows and big front door, and when all dry inside and out close up relevant vents (to stop hosing going through meshing) and retest
