TARP INSTRUCTIONS

AND MAINTENANCE

ENGLISH

TIPS AND TRICKS

Prior to leaving home check your tarp for damage

and missing parts.

The tarp works best when tensioned properly.

Nylon fabrics absorb moisture and will stretch and then

contract when dry. Re-tensionn the tarp when

necessary.

Nothing damages a tarp faster than UV radiation.

Lightweight tarps are not intended for use in prolon-

ged, stationary settings exposed to the sun. Set up in

shade or take down during the day when not in use.

A dusty or dirty tarp is best washed with a water hose

and sponge. Never dry-clean or place a tarp in a

washing machine or tumble dryer as this will damage

the coating and fabric.

Dry and air your tarp thoroughly prior to storage. This

process may take a couple of days before all webbing

and thread are completely dry. Store the tarp in a dry

place as humidity may lead to mildew.

Extreme Tarps: As seams of a siliconized tarp can not

be seam taped, we use cotton-wrapped polyester-core

thread. These expand when wet and seal the stich

holes when wet. For additional sealing the seams can

be treated with a silicone sealant (e.g with

Seamgrip+SIL by McNett).

Versa/UL Tarps: A fabric tear can be temporarily

repaired using an adhesive patch. With scissors or a

sharp knife, round off the corners of the patch prior to

use and apply to the coated side of the fabric. Once

back home, sew the patch to the fabric for a perma-

nent repair. Seam sealer (e.g. SeamGrip+WP by

McNett) can be applied to the seams for waterproofing.

WARRANTY AND REPAIR (5 YEAR WARRANTY)

5 year warranty. Defects in materials and workmanship will

be repaired or replaced at Exped‘s discretion. Damage

due to ware and tear can usually be repaired at a nominal

charge

NOTE: Any outdoor product is subject to wear and tear

during usage, especially lightweight gear. Treat it with

care.

QUALITY CHECK

To ensure they are free of defects, individual tarps are

inspected multiple times during production, including a

final set-up prior to leaving the factory.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMPATIBILITY

It is second nature for us to produce and act as

environmentally and socially responsible as possible.

EXPED-TARPS Thank you for purchasing an Exped tarp. Innovation, quality and refined details distinguish them from all others. FULL SIZE TARP CLOSED ON ONE SIDE A-FRAME When the tarp is used as a full-size shelter, note that the center point should be higher than the corners and sides to prevent water accumulating in a puddle during rainfall. Tie out the guylines found in the corners to pegs, trees rocks or other secure anchor points.
