PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EVEN IF YOU’RE
AN EXPERIENCED CAMPER OR TENT-NINJA. THIS TENT HAS
SOME UNIQUE FEATURES, CARE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
NOT FOUND IN OTHER TENTS.
The Siesta
4
is supplied with the inner tent already clipped into the fly. This makes for quickest setup, but
it is recommended to use two people so as to avoid unnecessary stress on poles. If you intend to setup
with one person in future, we recommend leaving the inner tent unclipped when you pack the tent way.
1.
Lay the tent out flat and evenly with the reflective fly facing upwards and the black floor fabric
against the ground.
2.
Adjust the fly fabric so that the black pole sleeves of the dome form an X, and are as straight as pos-
sible.
3.
Assemble the poles and lay them to one side. Identify the two longest poles.
4.
Insert the two longest poles through the black pole sleeves of the dome. Always push the pole gen-
tly. Don’t pull or force.
5.
Keeping the poles flat, clip one end of each pole into the grommet in each corner. Use the grommet
nearest the centre for the dome poles.
6.
Position one person at the other end of each pole and locate the corner strap.
7.
Push both poles together so the dome pops-up and clip the pole end into the grommet.
8.
Repeat the process with the vestibule poles, using the outer grommets.
9.
Stake out the corners of the dome (4 stakes).
10. Stake out the vestibules (4 stakes).
11. Stake out guy ropes (8 stakes).
Note: There are 4 optional guy-out points on each side of the tent. Extra ropes and stakes are not includ-
ed, but are recommended in high winds.
USING YOUR TENT
To provide maximum comfort in sunny weather and minimise the temperature inside the tent, follow
these recommendations:
1.
Always open the roof vents.
2.
Always open the vestibule corner vents
3.
Even if fans are not in use, always open the side vents.
4.
Attach the circular side-vent ducts to the inner tent. A head-lamp or lantern is recommended so
both hands are free. Take your time to carefully work your way around the circumference of the
vent. Line up and push together the hook & loop strips so an even seal is made all the way around.
5.
Depending on the lay of the land and the tension of your tent pitch, you may wish to use the extra
side-vent poles to maximise the opening of the side vent. To do this, attach the extra pole
(kickstand) in between the two sewn-in ‘kickstands’.
TIP: The doors have loops on the inside so you can hook the doors partially open to increase ventilation
whilst limiting the amount of light. If the tent is warming up try opening both doors 1/4 way, or 1/2 way.
To use the door loops from the inside, unzip the door fully, clip the loops through the toggles at the re-
quired height, then then close the zippers gently until the door is tensioned.
