GONE THROUGH THE ROOF?
It was always the same. The envoy sighed as he paid the merchant and had his men carry the new canvas roof for their main negotiation tent. Everyone maintained stern expressions as if once more listening to a too-often-told jest. Either it was some mage who accidentally caused an upwards whirlwind, a gnome tinkerer displaying another disastrous invention or an adventurous warrior demonstrating a perfect lack of control with a newly acquired magical spear. The result was always the same in the end: a ruined roof piece and another trip to the merchant. The townsfolk threw him curious glances as they almost ceremoniously left the town square. One day, he swore, it would be HIM that would go through the roof!
If unfortunate events force you to purchase a new roof for your tent or simply wish to have another colour option, you need to look no further! This roof piece is designed to fit the Marquee Tent (5×8m) with our easy-to-use fastening hook system and specially designed tent centre poles. The fabric comprises 100% heavy-duty (425g/m²) cotton, weatherproofed with paraffin wax for extra durability. Note that pegs and poles are sold separately. With correct maintenance, these tent sidewalls will keep you and your party sheltered throughout many adventurous seasons. Just be careful not to attract hungry wyverns!

Maintenance
Our tents and awnings are treated to be water-repellent and anti-mold, yet mold is an age-old issue with tents, so it's essential to take preventive measures, even though we can't guarantee complete control. Here are some guidelines to prevent mold:
-
Use a Groundsheet: we recommend the use of a groundsheet under the tent to reduce the moisture rising from the ground.
-
Ensure that the tent is pitched correctly so that water easily runs off the fabric and the tent is protected from leaks and mold formation.
-
Make sure the tent is completely dry before storing it, as damp fabrics encourage mold growth.
-
If the tent isn't fully dry before storing, it can develop a musty odor and compromise water-repellent coatings.
-
Do not store the tent in damp or hot places like a basement.
-
Avoid cooking inside the tent, as this can cause mold to form on the fabric.
-
Do not wash dishes inside the tent, as dishwater is one of the main enemies of the fabric.
-
Set up the tent on a dry, clear day.
-
Take extra care in high-humidity climates to prevent mold.
-
Do not hang a kitchen rag over a bar inside the tent, as soap residues can affect the fabric.
-
Ventilate the tent, especially when you're not using it.
-
Avoid pitching the tent under trees, as bird droppings and tree debris after rain can cause mold.
-
Regular Cleaning: Encourage regular cleaning of the tent with mild soap and cool water to remove dirt and organic materials, which can promote mold growth.
-
Check for Damage: Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage. Small rips or tears can let in moisture, which can lead to mold growth.
