Tarptent Scarp 1

Basic Setup

Basic setup is very easy.  It will take about 2 minutes once you get the hang of 

it.  For additional photos, see http://www.tarptent.com/scarp1.html
1.  Spread canopy on ground, black floor side down. Remove stakes from stake 

bag and have ready.  

2  Assemble 7-segment, main arch pole. Pole length is just over 10 ft / 3 m.

3.  Insert pole tip into yellow pole sleeve, push pole through sleeve, and insert 

both pole tips into grommets.

4.  Pull out one corner of the canopy, spread strut ends apart, loop guyline over 

stake and stake to ground.  Repeat with adjoining corner so that one end of 

the canopy is secured. Leave center edge strut guyline loose for now.

5.  Now walk to the other end of the stucture, lift and pull both corners to 

center the central arch, and stake one of the  corners as shown.  

6.  Now pull the remaining corner guyline out and stake.

7.  Adjust corner positions, center arch, and restake as necessary to ensure 

canopy is taut. 

8.  Set center edge strut to a vertical postion, pull out center edge guyline, and 

stake. Repeat other side.

10. Use line tighteners at each corner to fine-tune tension.  Line tighteners (pull 

cord end to tighten; lift lever to loosen) adjust tension.
