Hi. Advice needed...again!

We have not yet used our new Cabanon canvas frame tent.

I have been adviced that it would be best if I put it up, give it a hose down and let it dry before I take it camping for the first time. With the amount of rain we are having at the moment I have not found a long enough dry forecast to get it dried so daren't wet it.

How important is it to do this?

put it up and dry to drench it with a hosepipe or something similar.
it will drip until the fibres have shrunk...putting up at home gives you a chance to make sure you know how to erect it too.

Hi

We did not have the chance to proof our Kos 6 before we used it so when we erected it on site we proofed it there with watering can as it was a dry day and it has been ok since

cheers
