Attachment

Please note: This tent drawing shows the main door on the right side of the image. On

an even piece of ground lay out the tent and stake the rear corners. Rear corners are

shown with the two arrows.  Open both the inner room divider door and the main

door, this will allow air to move into the tent during assembly. Assemble all poles, 

making sure all pole sections are fully connected at each joint.  Hint: All three poles 

are identical.  Hint: This is a single wall tent, it does not have a seperate rain fly.    

Gently slide each pole through the fabric pole sleeves on the tent.  Take care not to 

force the poles and damage the pole sleeve material.  Insert the rear pole tip into the 

grommet pole attachment as shown. Gently push the rear pole and flex up as shown.

Connect the pole tip into the grommet.  Once one pole is done it can be gently

laid down on the ground to the left.  Repeat this process for all three poles.  During

assembly always make sure all pole sections are fully connected at each joint.  

Before erecting the tent find and attach the two longest guy lines to the guy points 

above the main door and the rear pole.  See the small arrows in this drawing. These

guy lines will be used in step #5. After all three poles have been flexed into shape and

connected to both grommet pole attachments, you’re ready to stand up the tent. 

Gently stand up the front pole and pull the entire structure forward towards the front

door away from the back stakes.  Go slow to allow air to enter the tent.  HINT: Opening

both doors as directed make this process much easier.

Stake out both small fabric wings on each side of the front door. Pull both wings out to

create tension.  You may need to reposition these later.  See small arrows. Now enter

the tent and zip both doors closed. Closing the doors now will allow for the correct 

tension when setting all the guy lines. Failure to close the doors before tensioning

center side guy lines will prohibit the zippers in the doors from functioning correctly

   during use. Now stake out all primary points around the base of the tent. 

   Guy lines are addressed in step #5.

       

Locate the front & rear center guy lines attached in step three. Tension the front guy

lines directly out in front of the main door. Repeat this process for the rear guy line.

See #1 arrows. Attach and tension three guy lines on the side of the tent as shown

          by #2 & #3 arrows.  Repeat these steps on the other side. At this point the tent

          should have 8 primary guy lines in use. Always use all guy lines.  HINT: If the #3 

              guy lines are too tight the room divider door zipper will be difficult. Use

              moderate tension for the #3 guy lines.

High-Low vents

6

Locate the High-Low vents at the back of the tent. See arrows.  These two vents

share a common guy line.  Gently stake out this guy line to open up the vents.  Always 

stake out these vents as this will help eliminate condensation.  At this point all guy lines 

& stakes should be re-tensioned and possibly repositioned to ensure even tension.  

As this is not a freestanding tent all guy lines should be used at all times. 

Hint: During the tear down process leave all doors and windows open. Roll the tent from the

back twoards the front door, this will help the air escape.  If you have any questions please

contact customer service.  Enjoy & thank you for your business!
