Guidelines
Always make sure your tent is dry and free of debris before storing. Fold and roll your tent a different way each time to avoid permanent creases. Store in a cool, dry place. Never leave your tent in hot temperatures (such as a car trunk or attic space) for long periods of time, as it will damage the material coatings. Storing your tent damp can result in mildew growth, which may cause your tent to smell, leak, or delaminate. Mildew damage is not covered under warranty.
Cleaning
Light Cleaning
For light cleaning, sponge the product with warm water (not hot).
Supplies Needed
Wash basin (or bath tub), Warm water (not hot), Waterproof Gear Cleaner (we recommend products like Nikwax Tech Wash), Sponge
Step 1
Submerge your gear in warm, clean water. Gently agitate with hands. Empty dirty water. Repeat until most of the excess dirt/grime is removed and water is mostly clear.
Step 2
Apply waterproof gear specific wash and gently work into fabric with sponge.
Step 3
Rinse gear thoroughly.
Step 4
Hang it up to dry.
Step 5
Triple check that your gear is completely dry before storage or use.
Important Notes
Warnings
Do not dry clean or machine-wash. Detergents and dry cleaning solvents will damage the fabric and ruin waterproofing. Never use hot water, bleach, liquid detergents, or dishwashing liquids. Allow to dry COMPLETELY before storage or use. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as UV exposure can compromise waterproofing.
Seam Sealing
Factory Sealed
Big Agnes tents are seam sealed as part of our manufacturing process! This seam tape alone is durable enough to prevent water leakage. Any seams that have been taped do not need to be seam sealed with a liquid sealer unless you want extra protection. Make sure the seam-sealer is completely dry before re-packing your tent. Damage caused by misapplication may void warranty.
Zippers
Maintenance
Keeping your zippers clean will help keep the coils and sliders from wearing out. If filled with dirt, vacuum or brush zippers before storing tent. We recommend Gear Aid Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant.
Repairs and Warranty
Coverage
All Big Agnes tents are guaranteed against manufacturing or material defect. We do not warranty products damaged from normal wear and tear, alteration made by owner, misuse, accidents or damages caused by uses other than intended. Damage due to misuse, normal wear and tear, or improper care may be repaired, at the discretion of Big Agnes, at a reasonable charge. Tents returned for repair must be clean and free of debris.
Salt Creek SL Set Up Instructions
Step 1
Remove contents from stuff sack. Spread out the tent body.
Step 2
Stake out the four corners of the tent body.
Step 3
Assemble the two poles: One main pole with one 4-way hub and one short straight cross pole. To ensure each pole section is fully seated, insert each pole section into the next by hand, instead of allowing the shock cord to snap them together.
Step 4
Position the assembled main pole on top of the tent body. Match the colors of the pole ends with the matching colors of webbing on the tent body.
Step 5
Insert the pole tips into the grommets at the four corners of the tent.
Step 6
Attach the corresponding plastic tent clips on the tent body to the main pole.
Step 7
Locate the two "CHL Swivel Hubs" on the main pole and attach the two "H Clips" on the top of the tent body.
Step 8
Place the cross pole across the top of the main pole inserting the rings on the cross pole into the open "CHL Swivel Hubs". Click top of swivel hub closed.
Step 9
Clip the ends of the cross pole into the clear plastic "Ball Cap" clips that are located above the doors of the tent body.
Step 10
Drape the fly over the tent body and match the colors of the webbing on the fly with the webbing on the body.
Step 11
Insert the tips of the cross pole into the small pockets located on the underside of the fly.
Step 12
Attach all Velcro® tabs on the underside of the fly to the corresponding pole sections for best stability.
Step 13
Make sure the webbing at the corners of the fly is completely slackened. Attach the buckles on the fly to those on the tent body.
Step 14
Tighten the webbing on each buckle as needed to keep fly taut.
Step 15
Stake out the vestibules then stake out remaining guylines.
Step 16
Low Vent Set Up: For increased ventilation, hook the cord located at the bottom of the vestibule door to the toggle at the top of the zipper located on the underside of the fly.
Step 17
Awning Set Up: Unzip the two zippers at the head-end of the tent, attach extra guylines (included in stake bag) to corner cord loops, adjust trekking poles to desired height, insert trekking pole tips through grosgrain loop or cord loop on corners of panel. Stake out guylines.

Helpful Hints For Tent Set Up
Practice
Our tents are easy to set up, but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
Clear Site
Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.
Staking
We recommend staking out all corners, vestibules and guylines to increase space and ventilation. Securely staking out your tent and all guylines is crucial to maintaining the structural integrity of your tent.
Stuff Sacks
Hang onto your stuff sacks or they'll blow away and create backcountry litter.
Pole Sleeves
Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material. Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
