-
Begin erecting the perimeter of the tent by inserting the side poles. Put the top of the pole through the awning grommet and insert the metal pin on the stake loop through the bottom of the pole to hold it in place. Attach the rope to the awning loop and stake it out loosely so that it can be adjusted later if necessary. ERECT THE PORCH
-
Assemble the porch frame pole.
-
Locate the peak of the porch entrance and attach the longest rope through the loop. Do not stake it down yet.
-
Locate the velcro tabs on the inside of the porch. Theyare on each side inside the porch. Use the velcro tabs to attach the porch frame pole to the tent fabric. Begin at the peak of the porch and work your way down to the base of the tent.
-
The base of the porch frame poles will use the pins atthe bottom corners of the tent front door. At this location there will already be a tent perimeter pole connected. There are two pins at this location. One is for the side pole already in place and one is for the porch frame pole that you have assembled and are securing in place.
-
Next, close the porch door and stake out the front corners of the porch by inserting a stake through the bungee loops. Insert a pole through the awning grommet at the front corner of the porch on both sides. The bottom of the pole goes inside the stake bungee loop at the bottom to secure it in place.
-
Stake down the rope that you previously inserted at the peak of the porch in Step 6. Make sure it does not blockyou from entering and exiting the porch.
-
Stake down the porch bungee loops that are closestto the main tent body.
-
At the awning location where the porch attaches to the main tent there is a grommet that will use the side perimeter pole already in place. At this location, one pole will secure the tent awning and the porch awning.
-
The remaining side poles are used for the two side doors. Unzip the side door on both sides allowing it to open.
Put the top of the pole through the awning grommet and insert the metal pin on the stake loop through the bottom of the pole to hold it in place. Attach the rope to the malenipple and stake the ropes out. Make sure the ropes do not block your access to the door.
EMOVABLE PORCH FLOOR -
Insert the porch floor with the velcro strips facing the side walls of the porch. Align the floor so the velcro strips line up with the velcro strips along the bottom of the porch side walls. Attach the hooks on each corner of the floor to the bungee stake loops to further secure the floor in place.
