Step # 4: Place tent fabric on top of frame:
TIP: Unzip all door zippers to prevent strain on zippers.
Once the roof is together and the frame is low to the ground at one side, pull the tent cover over
the roof making sure to orient the front door as desired and position tent so it fits over the frame
at all angles. Grab the bottom part of the tent and pull up and over the frame.
Tip: Flip up the side walls above the eaves of the tent for easy installation of foot poles and tie
up the Stove Pipe Shield flap
Pull down side walls of the tent to ground level over the frame, keeping it even as you pull. The
angles of the tent wall should match with the angles of the frame. Work it over the frame gradu-
ally. Make adjustments to even or square the tent.
TIP: Adjust your tent to the frame. Do not pull hard on your tent or seams and zipper doors will
be weakened. The canvas fabric cover should fit the tent effortlessly and smoothly without
requiring any force.
TIP: Do not drag the tent cloth when assembling and dismantling in order to avoid damage to
canvas
Step # 3: Install foot poles on the tent:
Attach foot poles (with base plate at the end) of one lateral side to (side) ridge poles. Lift the
edge of the tent frame and place the foot poles in the angle kits of side ridge poles. All of the
pins on tent poles and angle kits are color coded so the color of the pole button should match the
one on angle kit for accurate installation of the tent. Make sure the wall poles are up only on one
side, this will make the next step easier.
STORE YOUR CANVAS TENT
STEP 1: Clean Out Your Tent
Sweep the tent out completely. Remove all of your belongings from the tent and close all of the
windows.
Once again, allow the tent to dry out completely before storing it.
STEP 2: Breakdown Tent
When you are sure your tent is COMPLETELY BONE DRY, pull out all the pegs. Place them in the
tool kit bag provided. Make sure to remove any loose dirt before putting them in the bag.
Unzip and detach the groundsheet and canvas fly cover.Remove the door entrance pole and center
pole, disassemble it, and return it to the bag provided.
Note: Remove the pins now and store them in the tool kit bag provided. Do not pull up on the tent
loops to remove your pegs and pins, this could cause the loops to tear.
STEP 3: Pack the Canvas Tent
Make sure to never store it either wet or damp. The moisture trapped inside will make the life of tent
shorter. At times, you don’t have much of a choice but to pack it; in damp condition, make sure you
hang it up to dry within a day. Don’t set up the tent again, just let it dry at any place as it needs
air.
Remember the groundsheet is detached from the canvas tent cover, make sure it is facing the
ground to protect your tent. Keep the tent off the grass or ground (to keep it clean and tint free).
Fold front and back edges of the tent to the middle. Fold the tent lengthwise down the middle (fold
half of the tent over). Now fold the bottom up from both sides and roll the whole tent into a tight
bundle. Make sure that the folded tent should be the size of the tent bag. Use the ties to secure the
tent as a roll. Next, lift one end, slip the bag over the tent and place everything else inside. Place
both the pole bag and tool kit bag inside while folding the tent or you can put it on top of the tent
inside the bag.
Make sure groundsheet is facing the ground, it will protect the canvas tent from getting any dirt or
stains on it. Once the tent cover is securely packed, roll the groundsheet and pack it in the pole
bag provided.
