What other waterproofing steps should be taken before, during, and after extended daily use? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: SayB</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="3690697"> Hello,&#10;Thank you for reaching out with your question&amp;mdash;we&amp;rsquo;re glad you&amp;rsquo;re preparing for extended use of your tent.&#10;For the Coleman Sundome 6-Person Camping Tent, seam sealing is typically not required right away, as the tent comes with factory-treated seams. However, for extended or frequent use, we recommend checking and resealing once you notice any signs of wear or leakage, rather than after a specific number of days.&#10;Here are some helpful waterproofing tips:&#10;&#10;Before use:&#10;1. Inspect seams and apply a seam sealer if needed.&#10;2. Use a ground tarp (footprint) under the tent (slightly smaller than the base).&#10;3. Apply a waterproofing spray to the rainfly if expecting heavy rain.&#10;&#10;During use:&#10;1. Ensure the rainfly is properly secured and tensioned.&#10;2. Avoid touching the inside walls during rain, as this can allow moisture through.&#10;3. Set up on slightly elevated ground to prevent water pooling.&#10;&#10;After use:&#10;1. Let the tent fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.&#10;2. Clean off dirt and reapply waterproofing treatments as needed over time.&#10;&#10;If you need any further assistance, please contact us via our official website, and we will be more than happy to assist you.&#10;Have a nice day!&#10;Coleman Consumer Care Team <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: Coleman&reg; Consumer Care</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2026-04-28</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="4862404"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> Is this tent recommended for 6 months of continuous use? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: SayB</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="3690518"> Hello, thank you for your inquiry. &#10;&#10;No. The Coleman Sundome&amp;reg; 6‑Person Tent is not designed for 6 months of continuous use.&#10;&#10;It&amp;rsquo;s made for short trips, and long-term exposure will wear down the fabric, seams, and poles.

The floor can wear faster on rough wood, and water can behave differently underneath it.&#10;&#10;If you do use a deck, put a tarp or footprint under it for protection&#10;Use weights or tie-downs instead of stakes and make sure there are no sharp edges or screws on the deck.&#10;&#10;It might work on a platform, but it performs best on dirt or grass, where it can be properly staked and tensioned.&#10;&#10;If you have any more questions, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form at https://www.coleman.com/support/contact-us or via Live Chat.
