6. Pull out one front corner and stake. Repeat with other front corner. The
goal is a regular pentagon. Remove stake at vestibule end and reinsert
through guyline stake loop. Make sure there is slack in the line to allow
the vestibule fabric to rise up when the pole is inserted.
7. Insert pole handle (or tip) through vent or underneath the vestibule and
insert the tip (or handle) into the apex cone. The pole should be on the left
side of cross strut.
8. Set the other end of the pole on the ground and bring it as close to vertical
as you can. The goal is high tension.
9. Use line tighteners (pull cord end to tighten; lift lever to loosen) to adjust
tension line at vestibule. Walk to back wall and stake center strut guyline.
Adjust end tensions and vertical pole tension until shape is symmetrical
and ridgelines are taut. Be sure tension lines at strut supported ends follow
ridgeline direction.
