Using this tent gear loft is a breeze. Just find the loops inside your tent and hook the loft onto them. Make sure to hang it in a place where it won't swing around too much and cause a nuisance. When it comes to what you can store, you can put in things like your phone, wallet, flashlight, or any small items you want to keep close. As for maintenance, if it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it down with a damp cloth. Don't use harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. And when you're packing up your tent, carefully unhook the loft and fold it up neatly. Store it in a dry place to prevent any mold or mildew from forming. That way, it'll be ready for your next camping trip.
