Impregnate your tent BEFORE it is dirty and leak
People think about impregnating the canvas once a tent cloth leaks, is affected by green fouling or is contaminated with mold. Make sure that you beat this! By protecting with a good impregnating agent, you reduce the chance of wear, fungi and algae.
Isn’t my tent already impregnated?
Indeed, the tent has been treated at the factory with a good coating or impregnation. Yet that is not enough. Manufacturers face stricter environmental legislation so they use less protective components on the canvas. This is why the tents of today are much more susceptible to fungi and algae. By protecting the tent with a good impregnating agent, you avoid a lot of trouble.
Cotton canvas
Canvas made of cotton and polyester / cotton has long been known. It is strong, it ventilates and regulates moisture and temperature. It also has a drawback. It is more susceptible to mold and it can be easily leak. Therefore, more and more manufacturers recommend to impregnate the canvas every year. As a result the longer it remains waterproof and better protected.
