NOTE: Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to 

1. 

Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. In windy conditions, stake down 

one front corner into wind. See fig.1.

3. 

Fit the ring/pins into the poles: 

There are webs sewn to each corner of 

the tent. Start at either end and insert 

the pins into the bottom of the poles at 

that end. Repeat at the opposite end.  

See fig. 4.

4. 

Raise the frame: Start at either 

end and insert the ridge pole 

into a hub. Walk to the 

opposite end and grasp both 

the ridge pole and the 

second hub. Push/curve the 

poles until the ridge pole 

fits securely into the 

second hub. See fig. 5.

Fit both of the ridge pole 

extensions into the 

center of the hubs. 

    See fig.6 

 Reach under the fly and wrap each Velcro

®

 strap around the 

pole. See fig.11.

At each corner, attach the web buckles, from the fly, to their 

mates on the tent web. Pull the web to adjust tension as 

needed. See fig.12.

7.

 Stake the tent down:  The tent is now 

freestanding. Move it to your desired location. 

Stake it down through 

the web loops.          

Stake opposite corners 

while applying 

tension to smooth the 

floor wrinkles and 

square the tent.        

    See fig.9.

6.

 Install the spreader pole: Lay the pole across 

the top, over and perpendicular to the ridge 

pole. There are two pockets sewn to the top of 

the tent body. One of the pockets has a Velcro

®

 

closure and the other is plain. It is easier if you  

slide the pole into the plain pocket first and 

then capture the other end with the Velcro

®

  

See fig. 8 & 9.

2. 

Join the frame sections on the ground: Fit each pole to its mate or hub. The 

sections are shockcorded. Try to keep the poles from snapping together, as 

this can damage the ends. It is important to make sure that each section has 

firmly seated into the hub. Improperly fit poles may cause the hub to break. 

Set the “A” frames over the 

tent so that the poles align 

to the tent corner webs. 

See fig. 2 & 3.

5. 

frame: There are two types of 

connectors sewn to the tent 

body. For the first, hang the 

two end shockcords onto the 

stand-offs on the hubs. See 

fig. 6

Then, work your way down and 

across the frame, attaching 

the pole clips as you go.    

See fig. 7.

8. 

Attach the fly to the tent: Drape the fly 

over the top of the tent. It only fits one way. 

Align the yellow web buckle 

from the fly to it’s mate on 

the yellow web at the front 

corner of the tent. Pull 

the fabric out and over 

the hubs and out and 

over the spreader. 

 See fig 10.

9. 

Stake out the vestibule: At the front of the tent, pull the stake out loops on 

the vestibule taut and stake them down. See fig.13.

Take down: Pull up stakes and open the door. Remove the fly. Un-clip the tent from the poles. 

Pull poles out off the pins, collapse the poles and stow in the bag. Fold the tent and fly. Lay 

the fly on the folded tent along with the bag of poles. Roll up all and stow in the carry bag.

Optional: Add durability and versatility to your tent with our “Lite-Set” Footprint. It’s made of 

the same fabric as the tent's floor: complete with web loops, grommets, and side release 

buckles. The Footprint, in combination with the fly and poles creates a lightweight, compact 

basic shelter. This option reduces the carry weight by more than 25%.
