1.  Spread canopy on ground, floor side down. Remove stakes from stake bag 

and have ready.  Set trekking poles to about 125cm/49in.

2.  Stake one vestibule door side so that the fabric is reasonably taut. Leave 

about 6 in / 15cm of cording.  Insert trekking pole, handle end first, through 

vent opening so that pole tip goes into grommet on underside of vent.

3.  Pull canopy ridgeline out. Insert second pole through other vent into 

grommet.  Stake opposite door so that door corners are taut and poles are 

vertical.

4.  Restake corners as necessary so that the canopy corners form a rectangle, 

the fabric is flat across the sides, and the ridgeline is taut.

5.  Now pull out each Pitchloc strut supported corner firmly and stake through 

plastic loop.  

6. Walk around the perimeter and use the line tighteners to tighten fabric.

7.  Unzip either door and roll back.  Secure to magnetic closure strap.

8.  Adjust floor straps at ground level to even floor tension and straps at apex of 

interior to even interior fabric tension.

9.  For more ridgeline tension and to fully open fly sides, attach apex guylines 

and pull out to either door stake and tighten.

10. For best ridgeline tension, stake guyline separately midway between door 

stakes.
