Great job! You’ve successfully set 

up your Sky Loft. Now to learn how 

to pack it up!

• 

Remove the shoe bags, window 

rods (from the hook first, then the 

base) and put them in their sleeve, 

and the ladder from the tent (put 

the ladder in the bag). You can 

store all of this inside the tent if 

you like, or in your vehicle. Note: 

the SKY LOFT has some room to 

keep some bedding items inside. As 

a general rule of thumb, if it closes 

nicely and easily, it fits. We suggest 

putting your ladder in your vehicle if 

you are storing bedding in the tent.

• 

The side windows can remain open 

or closed. For easier closing, we 

suggest keeping the back window 

partially open to allow air to drain 

from the inside of the tent more 

efficiently.

• 

Take the bottom flap around the 

whole tent and flip it up. Grab 

your bungee cord and bring it up 

to the middle of the tent. Grab the 

pull strap and pull down from the 

middle, evenly, and allow the air 

to come out. It is normal to have 

the tent material sticking out from

• 

Move to one side of the tent and 

lift the back corner up about an 

inch, just enough to put the fabric 

in with your free hand. Repeat on 

the other side. Double check both 

sides. 

• 

Take your bungee cord and stuff it 

in the back, over the metal lip.

• 

Fasten both closing straps by 

depressing the level and sliding 

the tip of the strap through. Pull 

up on the strap to tighten.

• 

The tent is now closed! You’re 

ready to drive away.
