If a tent or tarp is rolled tightly before storing, any moisture trapped between the layers of coated fabrics can cause the coating to degrade. Equally, if a tent or tarp is stored for long periods in a sealed container, the humidity inside will remain constant and this may affect the coating.
For longer-term storage, do not store your tent or tarp in the stuff sack(s) provided with the product. Tents and tarps should be stored folded loosely in a container which allows for ventilation in a room free from damp / temperature extremes.
