Our climate in Australia is notoriously extreme. However we are confident that our tents will outlast most other tents on the market, being made from the highest quality materials.
Mould, mildew and UV are the main issues to watch for. We have sections in our FAQ dedicated to tent maintenance, but in a nutshell:
Camping - if you only use your tent periodically throughout the year, you look after it and pack it away dry, your tent should last many years. We have many happy customers who bought one of our tents when we launched in Australia (2017) who are still using it regularly. To date we have had no warranty claims or returns, we are extremely proud of our track record. It's this kind of reliablility that keeps our customers loyal to our brand.
Glamping and professional use - this is a harder one to answer as it depends heavily on the climatic conditions in your local area as well as where the tent is pitched, and your appetite for maintenance. If you follow our guidelines including regular cleaning and reproofing, our tents should last for a number of years of permanent use. If you are considering purchasing a Karma tent for a business venture, it may be wise to factor in replacement costs to your business model, often on an annual basis. This model has the advantage of being tax deductible and also keeps your guests happy. Bear in mind that the next cheapest solution is to build a permanent structure which attracts council regulations and significant upfront cost. With our tents you can be up and running in no time. Just pitch, accessorise, style and go!
