Opening up your Safirflex
Follow these steps to open up the brim of your Safirflex in a safe way
1. Put up the Nordic tipi
in the same way as an
ordinary Safir 15
as described in the
manual “Putting up
your Nordic tipi”. Use
16 stakes instead of 8.
2. From the inside, unbutton the triangular
expansion panels (A) from the sections you
want to open up and from one section on
either side of the part you want to raise. Open
the zippers in the expansion panels from the
outside. If you want to raise the entire brim,
release all the expansion panels.
3. For each section that is going to be opened,
the ground tensioner must be replaced with
a longer strap. Attach one of the included
flex-straps to the D-ring at head height on the
inside of the tent (B) and push the end with
the O-ring out under the bottom edge of the
tent (C).
4. Slacken the ground tensioner
and unhook it from the tent stake.
Hook the flex-strap (C) on to the
stake instead. Pull to make the
tent taut again. It is important you
only do this one ground tensioner
at a time.
5. Undo the ground
tensioners (D) on each
side of the part to be
raised and open the
zippers in the triangular
expansion panels (E) all
the way up as described
in step 2.
6. Pull out the telescopic pole to about 180 cm and push the end of the pole
through the eyelet in the middle of the panel’s bottom edge (F). Attach a flex-
strap to the band loop, using the carabiner (G). Attach the other end of the
strap to the ground with a stake and tighten the strap. Repeat steps 2–6 for
each section you want to raise. To facilitate water run-off, attach a flex-strap to
the band loop between each pole. The ground tensioners on each side of the
raised section(s) may need to be replaced with flex-straps so they reach down
to the tent stakes.
7. The straps used at step 3 may now
be removed but we recommend you
leave them in place in case of gusts
of wind. It will also make it easier and
faster to close the brim later. When
closed, Safirflex is as storm-resistant
as an ordinary Safir.
Safirflex is not intended to resist strong winds and snow when the brim is partly or fully raised.The exceptional storm resistance of a
Tentipi® Adventure Nordic tipi is maintained by the tent being designed so that the brim can easily be closed in bad weather.
