How do I use my pod the first time?

Remove the Pod from its carrying bag. Let it untwist and pop open. Unzip and unfold the side panels and pop open. Stand up in vertical position. Finally, give the Pod some air time while cleaning clear plastic with a microfiber cloth.

The wires on my pod are twisted. What should I do?

This is normal and goes away with use. To straighten, open your Pod and lay it flat, making sure the wires lay flat. You may step on the wires to flatten. Once the Pod’s popped up, check the wires again and straighten by hand or flipping if needed.

What do I do if a zipper seems stiff and isn’t working smoothly?

This is normal for new Pods. Zip and unzip a few times to loosen. If the zipper separates slightly, hold the Pod firmly and push the zipper up and down a few times. For a larger Pod, pinch the zipper and plastic together when zipping around corners.

Why is my plastic wrinkly?

When Pods are folded down or stored the panels might appear wrinkled when first opened. Try setting up your WeatherPod up in the sun for a few hours. The heat from the sun can greatly reduce the wrinkles and also makes zipping easier.

Can I put a heater in my WeatherPod?

NO! This is a potential safety hazard. Do not use matches, candles, heaters or allow open flames of any kind in or near the WeatherPod. Do not smoke in or near your Pod.
