ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Select a sheltered camp site protected from the wind that will not allow water to pond under the tent floor.
Clear a level area of all stones, twigs, etc.
Step 2
Lay out the tent inner and position it so the doors face the desired direction. There are 8 peg down points. Start
with the front 4 first, peg them down through the Ring of the Ring & Pin fitting pulling the floor firmly as you
work from on end to the other. Then peg out the back 4 also pulling firmly against the adjacent front peg and
the peg beside it as you work down the tent. You will get a chance to check out that the floor is pegged out
square and plumb after you install the poles. See Figure 1
Step 3 Assembling the poles
2 x Dome poles (Yellow tip fibre glass)
2 x Portico Pole Sets
(1 set consists of 2 x anodised steel poles and 2 x fibreglass (Green tip roof poles)
2 x Halo Awning Poles
2 x Steel Awning Poles (they have the spigot points)
Do not stand or sit on the poles or drive over them!
Step 4 Standing up the tent
a) The Central Dome
Open the doors of the tent to prevent suction when raising the tent. Feed the yellow tip poles through the
sleeves that run diagonally over the roof of the dome. Insert the Pin of the Ring & Pin fitting into one end of
the poles. Go to the other side of the tent and insert the Pin into the other end of the poles. They should
bow upward lifting the tent with them. Hook the J-Hooks onto the poles. If the ferrule edge gets caught on the
sleeve do not force the pole through, take care and unhook the ferrule.
Always allow the poles to bow into their natural curve.
