HELPFUL INFORMATION
Familiarize yourself with all the tent components and fully assemble your tent
at least once before the first adventure.
Set up the tent annually and ensure all components
are accounted for and in good condition. Replace any damaged components before
actual use.
Pitch the tent in an area free of sharp objects like rocks and sticks that
could damage or puncture the tent floor. Using a ground cloth under the tent
is recommended. Make sure the ground cloth is smaller than the tent floor.
This will help prevent water from pooling between the ground cloth and tent
floor.
Choose a camp site that will drain well in the event that it rains.
Make sure all the fabric ties, clips and or hooks are secured to the poles for
the proper support of accessories.
Insert stakes at a 45º angle with the tops facing away from the center of the
tent.
When possible, open windows and doors for increased ventilation to control
condensation that may form on the inner tent surface.
Know the rules and regulations of the area where you intend to camp. Research
the area for hazards. Prepare for any possible weather conditions. Be aware of
emergency protocol.
Be considerate of wildlife and fellow campers. Remember to clean up your site
and dispose of waste properly.
Before take-down, sweep debris from the interior of the tent using a soft
bristled broom.
Brush off dirt and debris with a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Do not scrub
the tent fabric, as you may damage the water-repellent properties. Gently
clean soiled areas of the tent using a soft cloth, warm water and mild, non-
detergent soap if needed. Rinse thoroughly.
ALWAYS make sure your tent is completely dry before storing.
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

SETUP
UNROLL THE TENT AND ASSEMBLE THE POLE
-
Once you have determined the best, safest location, lay out a ground cover (not included, but recommended) and then lay out the tent body on top of the ground cover if used.
-
Make sure the rain cap is positioned so that it is centered above the pole location.
-
Assembled the center pole.
-
Loosely stake out the floor of the main tent body in a star shaped pattern.
ERECT THE TENT -
From inside the tent, insert the top of the pole into the center of the roof. Make sure the lantern hook is at the top of the pole. Stand the pole vertically, positioning it in the center of the floor.
-
Stake down the guy lines in a star pattern.
-
Go back to adjust the floor. Pull it taunt and securely stake it down.
-
Adjust the guy lines for a uniform setup.
If using a ground cover, ensure no section of the ground cloth protrudes from under the tent body to limit the possibility of water getting trapped between the ground cover and the tent floor and possibly entering the tent.
RAISE THE DOORWAY -
Feed the entry door pole through the sleeve at the top of the doorway and connect the base into the tabs at the base of the tent. Stake out the guy-lines around the entry.
DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE
TAKE DOWN
Cleaning, airing out and drying the tent before take down is recommended. Reference the warning page and helpful information page for additional take down details.
- Partly unzip the door(s) to allow air to escape during take down.
- Reverse Setup steps 1-9 on page 3.
FOLDING: Refer to diagram below for folding instructions.
- Fold your tent walls towards the inside of the tent. Make sure the outside of the tent does not come into contact with the inside of the tent. This will help prevent dust, dirt and debris from entering the tent before transportation and storage.
- Locate the perimeter of the floor and pull the fabric snug. (A) This allows the tent to fold neatly.
- Fold the porch toward the center of the tent (B), then fold the tent in thirds. (C, D)
- Use the tent bag or pole bag to measure how small the tent should be folded. Fold evenly to the necessary width (E). The width of the folded tent should be slightly less than the length of the tent bag or pole bag.
- Roll the folded tent tight while carefully squeezing the trapped air from inside. (F)
