Is the Pump included?
Yes, OZTENT Air Tents come with a manual pump included. The manual pump will get the tent up quickly and easily.
Can you overinflate the air poles
The maximum recommended air pressure the poles should be inflated to is 7PSI, however, going above this does not mean they will burst. To help prevent over-inflation, each air tent comes with a pressure valve that connects to the pump. This pressure valve should be attached to the pump as it will limit the pressure to 7PSI. Once this limit is reached it forces the pump nozzle to pop out of the valve.
Will I need to reinflate the poles?
The nature of inflatable tubes means the amount of air that can escape from the tube is almost zero. Meaning the tents can remain standing for a very long time without being re-inflated. However, changes in climate conditions can result in pressure changes leading to the appearance of some deflation. This is a natural phenomenon and does not mean there is a puncture or a leak. If this happens, just add more air to the tube.
How strong are the air poles?
Very. They are made from wear-resistant polyurethane (TPU). For additional protection against bursting each pole is protected by a high-resistance polyethene cover. And because they are filled with air they will not bend out of shape or break if knocked or in windy conditions.
What is 'Rapid Air Frame Technology?
Our ‘Rapid Air Frame Technology’ was designed and developed in Australia by our product team, specifically to endure our harsh, diverse and erratic conditions. Our ‘Rapid Air Frame Technology’ combines our robust high-quality air tubes with our fast-flow air valves and allows us to create air tents with high, sturdy walls and a generous amount of space with outstanding rigidity in all kinds of weather.
What zips are used in the Air Tents?
A combination of SPS and YKK zips, the 2 leading zipper brands.
What if a pole bursts in my AT-6?
Simply replace it.
Each air pole is a long transparent polyurethane (TPU) tube, encased in a protective abrasion-proof sleeve which zipped into a cover in the tent walls and roof.
1. Deflate the air pole.
2. Unscrew the valve from the outside of the tent to release the pole (tube).
3. Unzip the cover in the tent and remove the pole (tube) in its sleeve.
4. Unzip the sleeve and replace the damaged tube with a new one – make sure the valve nozzle is extruding out of the hole in the sleeve.
5. Zip the sleeve up.
6. Zip the sleeve into the cover inside the tent.
7. Screw the valve back onto the valve nozzle outside the tent.
8. Reinflate the pole.
Ensure the zippers are fully closed before inflating as being open/opened may result in the pole bursting. It is not possible to repair the poles with a puncture patch. The pole will need to be replaced completely.
Is there a 'Zip-In Tarp Extension' for the AT-6?
Oztent’s AT-6 Air Tent includes a Zip-in Tarp Extension, complete with all poles and ropes required.
It is an additional awning that zips into the front of the tent to provide extended shade and cover.
