Frequently Asked Questions — Canadian Market
Q: Can I leave the tent up all winter in Montreal?
A: Yes, with our 1.5kN/sqm snow load configuration and 30° roof pitch. We recommend weekly snow accumulation monitoring and safe removal if accumulation exceeds 0.5m. The steep pitch naturally sheds fresh snow; wet compacted snow requires monitoring.
Q: Will the fabric crack when folding in extreme cold?
A: Our Arctic-grade PVC maintains flexibility to -45°C. We recommend installation and dismantling above -20°C when possible. If emergency dismantling below -30°C, use our cold-weather protocol with pre-warming the fold points.
Q: Do you provide bilingual French/English documentation for Quebec?
A: Yes. All Canadian orders include complete French/English bilingual installation manuals, safety documentation, and certification certificates meeting Quebec provincial requirements.
