HOW TO ERECT YOUR SOULPAD TENT
The order in which your SoulPad is erected is very important. Never assume that you will remember the
order, and always make sure you have a set of instructions with you each time you pitch your SoulPad tent.
SoulPad users can fall into bad habits and receive bad erection advice from other campers. This can have a
negative impact on the longevity of your SoulPad and its overall performance. In case you lose them, these
instructions are also available on our website.
Groundsheet
You will notice one of the edges on the groundsheet is longer than the others. This marks the entrance.
Make sure you have the entrance facing the correct and desired direction.
1. Lay out the groundsheet as flat as possible. Using the smallest pegs (the pin pegs) lightly peg out the
groundsheet keeping it as taught as possible. You will be adjusting these pegs again later so there is no
need to drive them all the way into the ground.
Flysheet
2. Unfold the canvas flysheet and lay it on top of the groundsheet. Find the entrance and marry it with the
entrance on the groundsheet. Make sure the entrance is zipped closed.
3. Using the pin pegs lightly peg out the peg loops at either side of the entrance (i.e. not flat to the ground).
All of the peg loops should be positioned around 4-
5” out from the groundsheet’s edge.
4. Find the centre of the entrance and peg in lightly also.
5. Continue to lightly peg out the remaining peg loops around the entire circumference, working methodically
in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, being sure not to miss any.
Guy Line Preparation
6.
Now it’s time to get the guy lines ready. The first time you erect your SoulPad you will need to unravel all
of the guy lines. Do not peg out the guy lines at this stage,
we’re just getting them ready for later steps.
7. The plastic on the guy line (the black nylon 'slides' that create the peg loop and allow us to adjust the
tension) should rest about 50-70cm from the point they are connected to
your SoulPad’s walls to begin with.
This allows you room to adjust the tension in later steps. You will use the loop created by the guy line to
fasten the larger stake pegs through later.
