Setup Instructions – Hub & Spoke Round Pavilon

Hanging the Walls

1. Loop the wall loops over the toggles in the roof.

(“fun-sized” people, set your step-stool in one 
spot and rotate the tent)

2. Close the doors. If you don't toggle the doors 

closed now, you will probably stake the walls 
down such that you can't close the doors later.

3. Stake down the walls.

1. Start by skipping every other stake (skipping three works even better).
2. Only drive the stakes in part way. (you may want to adjust them later)
3. Step back and take a look. 

1. Is the tent pulled out evenly all around?
2. Is the pole more or less vertical and the 

walls the same distance from the ground 
all around?

4. Adjust stakes as necessary.
5. Add remaining stakes. You want a moderate 

amount of tension along the bottom edge of 
the wall; not floppy, but not taut either.

6. Drive all the wall stakes down to the ground.
7. Drop any set-up lines that might be a trip hazard. (The walls will hold the tent up.)
8. Open the doors, move in, and enjoy.
