Tent is free of rips or holes. It was unrolled and set up after a long time in storage. I did soak it in a gentle cleaner and let it air dry. Most of the tent has staining all around from storage I believe. I did not try to get any of it out. I don’t assume the tent has any kind of protection from liquids anymore. Likely needs to be treated. Please review all 18 photos for condition.
