A note about shock-corded poles
Shockcord (bungee cord) is meant to keep pole sections in the proper
order—not as an automatic assembly mechanism for poles. Do not hold
one section while whipping the rest of the pole back and forth, or toss the
poles into the air; either procedure excessively stresses the pole joints and
shockcord. Fit poles together section by section, making sure that each
piece slides completely into the next. Forcing an improperly assembled
pole into place can damage the pole and/or the tent body and fl y.
Assembling the Tent
1
Assemble all poles carefully as described in the previous paragraph.
You will have four poles: two equal-length angled ones, one shorter
angled one, and one straight one.
2
Lay the inner tent out fl at, with the mesh panels on top.
In windy conditions, you may wish to peg out the corners before
proceeding.
3
Push (do not pull) each of the longest poles through the mesh pole
sleeves diagonally across the top of the tent body. Starting with the
yellow-trimmed pole sleeve, push one of the poles to the corner with the
yellow-ribboned pole clips. Push the second pole to the corner with the
black-ribboned pole clips.
The poles should cross in an X at the middle
of the tent.
4
To raise the tent, insert the wire pins at each tent corner into the bottoms
of the poles.
5
Attach the clips to the poles.
Attaching the Fly
1
Underneath each of the long sides of the tent fl y is a webbing pocket.
Fit the ends of the straight pole into these pockets, and fasten the
hook-and-loop attachment at the centre of the fl y around the pole.
2
With the straight pole on the underside, drape the fl y over the top of the
tent.
The straight pole should be across the tent’s highest point, running
from window side to window side. Ensure that the mesh vestibule is at the
end of the tent body where the mesh pole sleeves are.
3
Attach the hooks at the corners of the tent fl y to the rings on the
tent body.
