Warning
The both sides silicone coated fabric has a high strength to weight ratio and
none of the harmful chemicals that some companies add to reduce flammability,
but it will burn so keep it away from heat or open flame.
We have enclosed a fabric swatch for a test burn… after burning a fabric
swatch you need to decide to either to accept the risk of using the product
with this fabric or return the unused product for full refund.
Setup instructions:
-
Clear the ground of any sharp objects that will damage the tent floor. Lay out the tent.
(Option: stake/peg corners, staking/pegging diagonally works best rather than staking/pegging one end then staking/pegging the other end – staking/pegging the outer down first before attaching the poles is recommended in windy conditions.) -
“Hoop” each long pole and insert ends into aluminum fittings at each corner of outer. Lift the pole clips with REFLECTIVE webbing and attach where the poles cross, do this BEFORE attaching the other pole clips… then attach remaining pole clips to the poles.
-
Staking/pegging the tent – one stake/peg on each vestibule, and one stake/peg for each tent corner, one stake for head end, and one stake/peg for the foot end. In windy conditions, a person may want to use the four or six or more optional reflective guy lines. We suggest staking/pegging the guy lines at 45-degree angles to the tent. See guy line diagram on the next page.
Packing instructions:
- Reverse the above instructions
- We suggest rolling rather that stuffing. It results in a smaller volume. We also suggest rolling the poles and stakes up in the tent or carrying them separately.
Caution: Trying to “stuff” the poles and/or the stakes/pegs may result in
tearing the mesh or tent.
Notes:
- Make sure the pole joints are fully seated, especially on the ultra-light weight Dura Lite™ composite or carbon fiber poles to prevent the joints from splitting.
- Please careful turning the tent upside down to shake out the dirt, excess stress on the ultra-light weight Dura Lite™ composite or carbon fiber poles can cause them to fail.
- We suggest taking the poles apart at the center pole joint section first, then folding the pole in half, next take apart and fold the remaining sections. (This creates a more uniform tension on the shock cord.)
