ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 2 – Peg out the tent.
Lay out the tent inner on the area where you wish to erect your tent. Ensure that you have the doors
facing in the direction you desire.
Select 12 steel pegs from your peg bag. Peg out the inner of your tent at the 12 peg points of your inner
tent. These peg points are indicated in Figure 1. There are a number of peg points that you will not peg
out at this stage, they are to be pegged out after you have raised the tent. Do not peg the tent too taught,
it must be flat but not under any stress. You can always add more tension later, once the tent is erected.
Step 3 – Assemble your poles.
Lay out all of your poles. Ensure that you have identified what each pole is for.
Step 4 – Assemble the Main Portico Roof
Select the 2 ‘Corner to Corner Main Roof Portico Poles’, they have the beige tape. Insert the poles
diagonally from one corner of the tent roof to the other. Ensure that the pole passes through the pole
sleeves with the beige trim. Insert the end of each pole into the corner Portico hubs attached to the inner
tent. The correct insertion point will be shown with corresponding burgundy tape. Connect the pole
corresponding clips on the inner tent to the poles to these poles.
Once the ‘Corner to Corner Roof Portico Poles’ are in place select the 4 ‘Portico Web Roof Portico Poles’ that
are marked with the navy coloured tape. These poles span the distance between the 4 hubs marked with
an A in figure 1
Insert the poles through the corresponding pole sleeves, marked with navy trim, from one Portico Hub to
the other. Place the ends of these poles into the Portico Hubs, the correct positions will be marked with
navy tape. Connect all of the corresponding pole clips on the inner tent to these poles
Step 5– Assemble the Perimeter Portico Roof
Select the 3 ‘Perimeter Roof Portico Poles’, they have the burgundy tape. These poles span the distance
between each of the Portico Hubs marked with a B in Figure 2. Insert the poles through the pole sleeves
marked with burgundy trim. Ensure that each end of the fibreglass pole is inserted into its corresponding
position in its Portico Hub marked with burgundy tape.
Step 6 – Attaching the tent’s Portico Legs
Utilising the help of at least one other person:
Select the 10 black steel ‘Portico Poles’. Starting from the rear of the tent and working around in opposite
directions, place a steel Portico Pole into each of the Portico Hubs and then connect the corresponding
ring and pin at the base of the tent. Figure 3 is a view of the tent without its fly on, ensure you are familiar
IMPORTANT
After unpacking the tent, use the check list on page 4 to make sure you have all the parts.

with where each Portico Pole should be before attempting this step.
Hint: Before attempting this step it helps to open the doors of the tent. This allows for the air to rush in
much faster to your tent when you begin raising it from the ground.
Step 7 – Inserting the Ventura Roof Vent Pole
Lay the fly out on clear ground upside down. Locate the area corresponding to the rear main dome of
the tent. There should be two black pockets of webbing stitched onto the fly in this area. These are the
pockets for either end of the ‘Ventura Roof Vent Pole’. Insert the pole through the pole sleeve between
the two webbing pockets, once through insert either end of the pole into the webbing pockets. This pole
may be quite hard to inset, this is intended. The pole needs to be very taught to ensure it maintains the
desired shape when erected.
Step 8 – Attaching the Fly Sheet
Select you tent’s fly sheet. With the aid of another person drape the fly sheet over the top of the now
erected inner tent.
Hint: It is far easier to start at the end of the tent and walk simultaneously along the longer
sides of the tent, bringing the fly sheet along with you. Do this slowly to avoid snagging the
tent fly and causing it damage.
Once the tent’s Fly Sheet is draped over the tent ensure that is attached at the base of the Inner Tent. Then
attach all of the Velcro attachment points on the underside of the Fly Sheet to the corresponding poles
and hubs.
Hint: The Velcro attachment points are vital, ensure that you have all of these securely in place
around their respective poles or hubs.
Step 9 – Finishing Touches
Now your tent is erected you need to ensure that it is secure. Ensure that all of the guy ropes are pegged
out at approximately a 45 degree angle. Also check all of your peg points are pegged out and secure.
