Key Features of the Superdome
Heritage
When we designed and released the first of the 'Superdome'
swags, it set a new worldwide standard in swags, bringing
them from the traditional bedroll type to what is
undoubtedly the most popular design on the market today.
With its simple, yet elaborate design the Dome swag offers
quick and easy sleeping arrangements with its ease of setup,
and the luxury of an insect free sleep.
Assembly care and instructions
Step 1 Choose your campsite carefully, ensure you
choose a firm level area with no rocks or sticks that may
damage the floor of your swag. Be wary of overhanging tree
branches as falling limbs could also damage your swag.
Step 2 Unroll your swag, ensure valves on
self-inflating mattress are open. Once fully inflated close
the valves. If extra support is desired add extra air by
blowing the mattress up a little more with your mouth.
Step 3 Assemble the 2 shock-corded support poles.
Ensure pole joints are all the way in - if not, this may
cause the pole to split at the end of the joint. Insert a
Pin & Ring into the end of the head pole at the head of the
swag, slowly curve the pole over and insert the other Pin &
Ring. Suspend the swag with the plastic "C" hangers.
Step 4 Slide the lower pole through the sleeve
approximately halfway down the swag. Place one end onto the
Pin & Ring and push the pole from the opposite end - this
will make the pole curve up into an arc. Place the other Pin
& Ring into the pole.
Step 5 Use the guy rope provided to pull the head
of the swag taught. Place a peg into the ground or tie your
swag to a tree, vehicle bumper etc. for support. Your swag
is now ready to use.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Before using your Swag for the first time it should be
erected as described above and wet thoroughly 2-3 times and
allowed to dry. Ensure that the top flap and windows are
closed when wetting down. The wetting process will allow the
canvas and stitching to shrink and take up. Some water may
wick through the stitching during this process. If any
wicking occurs in the future rub the seam with a wax stick
to seal the area. Always make sure your swag is
completely dry before packing it away.
DO NOT erect your swag close to a camp fire or in
dry river or creek beds.
Canvas Care
We recommend that your new swag be thoroughly wet down
before its first use. This will ensure that it performs well
in wet weather by allowing the thread and canvas to swell
ensuring the take up of any potential leaks in the
stitching. Other tips:
- Do not use soap or detergents on the canvas.
- Do not store the product if it is wet.
- Clean using a soft brush and cold water.
- Do not expose to petrol, oils or other harsh
solvents.
Condensation
Condensation is a natural occurrence in the confined area
of a swag. This is due to the body releasing more moisture
than the canvas can disperse in cold weather. To minimize
the chance of condensation it is recommended that on cold
nights you slightly open the window of your swag
to increase airflow.
