Setup Instructions – Hub & Spoke Round Pavilon
Strike
1. Make sure that all four set-up lines are set.
If you forget to do this, you my drop your tent and damage the hub
and/or some of the spokes.
2. Go inside and take out the spokes.
I find it easiest to take out every other one first and then pull the rest.
3. Pull all the wall stakes and put them in the stake bag.
4. Remove and fold the walls.
1. Fold them accordian style, not rolled. It's much easier to set-up next
time this way.
2. If you have two people, have one undo the toggles and hold the top edge of the wall, while
the other one gathers the stake loops. Stay in sync with each other and you can fold the walls
without them ever touching the ground (nice in mud or dry grass areas)
5. Set down the center pole
1. With one hand, grab the pole as high up as you can comfortably manage.
2. With the other hand, grab the pole at waist height.
3. Lift the pole out of the baseplate and walk to one side, allowing the center-pole and roof
canvas to fall to the ground.
4. Set it down gentlyish, but don't strain your back trying to stop its fall.
5. It's nice to have a rug or canvas floor laid out where it falls to keep the roof cleaner, but it's
not critical.
6. Finish up
1. Pull out the center pole and disassemble it.
2. Fold the roof accordian style. (again, with a helper, you can do this in the air by having
them pull on the peak while you fold on the seams at the valance.
3. Coil up the set-up lines neatly. Put the ropes and the small wood bits in the “stuff” bag.
4. Have a sip of beer (or refreshing beverage of your choice) Yum!
5. Load up the carriage. Mope about having to go home. Then think about how nice a long,
hot shower will feel.
