pitching your tucana tent
Unpack your tent and lay it out with
the groundsheet floor facing. Make
sure the ground is flat and free of any
sharp objects. Find the door and
rotate to face desired direction.
Locate the centre pole and bring
inside of the tent. Push the pole
upwards to the cone (this will be the
end with the integrated loop) and
erect it vertically - ensuring it’s
located at the centre points of both
the floor and roof.
Keeping the tent fabric on top of the
base, stretch out the groundsheet to
its desired base shape. Locate the
elastic rings and use the smaller pegs
to fix your base to the ground. Spread
the ropes and use the sliders to
shorten each rope to approx. 1m in
length.
Once the centre pole is firmly in place,
it’s time to pitch the doorway. Start by
positioning the x2 door poles,
followed by the outer x2 canopy poles,
make sure the spikes are pushed
through the eyelets.
*For double door tents, repeat this stage for
mirrored doorway.
