Tent Returns

We give a 1 year guarantee (unless otherwise stated) against manufacturing faults on all new tents. Please note that this guarantee does not cover damage to the tent, tent poles / air beams or any other components that were caused by:

  • Stormy or windy conditions
  • Accidents
  • Misuse
  • Flaws in the fabric (if caused by excessive wear)
  • Leaking through fabric (this can often be condensation on the inside of the fabric, as opposed to a leak, usually caused by lack of ventilation)
  • Leaking through seams as a result of excessive abrasion of the seams or the seam sealant tape
  • Broken zips if caused by undue force or jamming
  • Seams “coming apart”, as a result of over tensioning / stretching
  • Broken buckles if they have been subjected to undue force or abrasion
  • Broken carry / roller bag if they are over loaded or misused
  • All Pole breakages- these are regarded as “fair wear & tear” (feedback suggests that most pole breakages occur during pitching or taking the tent down)
  • Over / Under pressurised air beams
  • Collateral damage from a pole breakage e.g. ripped flysheet
  • UV degradation
  • Commercial use by rental companies, use by youth groups e.g. Scouts, Guides, D of E, etc. (product has been extensively used, within a short time span)

If you believe your tent has a manufacturing fault then please contact us via email or phone with photos / details of the fault. In the event that you need to return your tent, please be aware that:

  • All tents must be returned in their original packaging.
  • The tent cannot be accepted if it is wet or excessively dirty.
