X-GLOO 4x4 User Manual - Special Instructions

Skywalk GmbH & Co. KG - Windeckstraße 4 - 83250 MARQUARTSTEIN | GERMANY

GRAPHICS/DESIGN

•  A transparent effect can occur (especially with background 

light) with different tent color combinations (e.g. light Roof 

color and dark Tubes). This should be taken into consideration 

by customers when designing the X-Gloo. If in doubt, please 

consult your X-GLOO professional.

•  With sewn application on different cloths, there is an area of 

overlap of ca. 5-10 mm where the cloth is sewn together. This 

results in a color change in the area of the overlap. 

SET-UP

•  Do not exceed the specified maximum air pressure.

•  The X-Gloo is not intended for long-term outdoor use and should 

be inspected for wear or damage after every event.

•  If small folds form inside the Tubes when inflating, it is helpful 

with the larger tents to gently shake the Tube during the 

inflation process. This will help keep the inner Bladder in the 

correct position assuring proper inflation.

•  The X-Gloo should be deflated in winds exceeding 60 km/h (The 

first sign of overload is when the Roof begins to compress). 

When high wind force is expected (gusts of more than 50-60 

km/h for the 4x4, 5x5, or 6x6; and more than 40 km/h for the 

8x8) the tent must be secured and anchored.

PLEASE NOTE:

 If Side Walls are completely zipped in to a 6x6 

tent, a force of almost 500 kg is the result. For this reason, 

please pay special attention to the following points:

  -   According to the ground surface, you may require longer or 

additional stabilisation materials.

  -   Additionally, you must attach Anchoring Lines to all Shoulder 

Loops (found on the outside of each Tube)!

  -   Our smaller Water Ballasts (ideal for use on hard ground 

surfaces) may not be sufficient for securing your tent against 

strong wind gusts. Refer to our Wind Resistance Certificate to 

determine whether Water Ballast Barrels are required.

  -   Winds stronger than 60 km/h can lead to structural damage of 

the tent and this damage is no longer covered by the warranty.

  -   If weather conditions deteriorate dramatically, all Overpressure 

Valves should be opened immediately and the tent deflated. 

Additionally, the deflated tent should be weighted down.

  -   In general, the Protective Strips on the bottom of the Tubes 

are exposed to more wear and tear on rough surfaces due to 

the movement of the tent from wind.

OPERATION

Keep open fires and heat sources away from the X-Gloo.  

FIRE PROTECTION CLASSIFICATION: 

•  

Description of Norms: 

  -   DIN 4102-B1 (Abb.: B1) Controls testing and requirements on 

the reaction to fire of building materials. German norm, used 

in most European countries. 

  -   CPAI 84-95, Section 6 Specification of the American 

Association of Sailcloth Materials for the assessment of flame-

retardant materials used in (event-) tents. Due to the fact 

that the the X-Gloo is in use worldwide at tradeshows as an 

innovative event tent, we reserve the right not to certify the 

tent according to the national norms of each country. The 

certification according to CPAI 84 fulfills the international 

requirements for flame resistance in tent products and 

includes similar test criteria like DIN 4102-B1 or NFP 92501-

7M2.

•  When the tent is used in sandy terrain, avoid getting sand grains 

in the Tubes or in the Pump

•  Keep the Valves free of sand and dirt particles and clean them if 

necessary, since this can cause faulty operation and pressure loss. 

•  The tent can be damaged by the penetration of sharp objects 

(e.g. knives, tools) in the Tubes causing leakage and loss of 

pressure. Handle the X-Gloo with appropriate care. 

•  Avoid extreme variations in temperature (day and night) or 

long-term use. This can lead to loss of air pressure, requiring 

reinflation of the tent.
