How to submit a warranty claim

1
Contact us

Call (303) 399-3232 or email info@coloradotent.com with your order number and a description of the issue.

2
Send photos

Email clear photos of the defect. In most cases, photos are sufficient to evaluate without shipping the tent back.

3
We make it right

Repair or replacement at our discretion. We respond to all warranty claims within 2 business days.

Repairs on non-warranty items

We repair canvas tents and goods from any manufacturer — not just our own products. Send us photos and describe the damage. Standard repair turnaround is 1–2 weeks. We can repair torn canvas, failed seams, damaged zippers, deteriorated sod cloth, and most other common failure points. If a tent has significant mildew or UV damage, we will be honest about whether repair makes economic sense vs. replacement.

Common support questions

Canvas Care
My tent has mildew — what do I do?

Brush off surface mildew outdoors. Apply a canvas-safe cleaner, scrub gently, rinse thoroughly, and dry in direct sunlight. Staining may remain permanently — this is cosmetic only and doesn't affect performance. See our full care guide.

New Tent
My new tent leaks through the seams

This is normal for new canvas. Set it up, soak with a garden hose, let it dry completely — repeat 2–3 times. The needle holes close as the cotton fibers swell. After weathering in, seams will be watertight.

Storage
How do I store my tent at end of season?

The tent must be completely dry before storage. Store loosely folded in a breathable bag in a cool, dry, ventilated space. Never store in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container. Keep away from rodents.

Waterproofing
Should I waterproof my canvas tent?

No. Do not apply aftermarket waterproofing sprays. They seal the canvas, destroy breathability, and cause condensation — especially with a wood stove. Canvas becomes more water-resistant naturally over time. Trust it.
