What do I need to know for extended use situations?

If you plan to stay in your tent for over 3 weeks at a time, there are a few things you need to keep in mind to maximize the life of your tent.

Mildew: More likely to grow in dark, shady areas or humid climates. You can prevent it by opening the tent up every day to air it out. Try and place the tent in an area where it can get a couple of hours of direct sun a day.
Canvas Rot: This can occur when the canvas at the bottom of the tent is constantly touching moist ground, which prevents the canvas from drying out and will eventually lead to decay or rot of those areas. This can happen with precipitation or moisture from dew. You can prevent this by making sure the tent is placed in an area that's dry and well drained. Placing it on sand, gravel or a slated wooden platform is ideal. Extended use on moist soil or grassy areas should be avoided.
UV Damage: Kodiak's type of canvas is a lot less susceptible to UV deterioration than synthetic fabric tents, however over time UV's will eventually degrade the canvas. Ideally, if you place your tent in an area where it receives full sunlight for just a few hours a day, this will prolong it's useful life.

Can I use the Kodiak Canvas tents year round?

Yes! The Kodiak Canvas tents are usable year-round. These are some of the best tents available to withstand any elements thrown your way.
