Component List: 1 Tent,   2 Tent Poles,  1 Carry Bag,  1 Pole Bag,  

1 Stake Bag w/ Stakes and Guys,  1 Rain Fly    2 Fly Rods 

• Once the tent is securely staked down, spread the 

rain fly out, upside down. Find the web pockets at 

the top of each clear 

window. Place the ends of 

the fly rods into the  

pockets. See Fig.6.  

• The rods cross in the center 

of the fly forming an X. Wrap 

the Velcro® tab around the 

rods where they cross to 

hold in place. See Fig.7

• Turn the fly right side up and drape it 

over the top of the tent. Align the 

orange web on the fly to the orange 

web on the tent. The fly rods should 

poke out over the doors. Reach under 

the fly and wrap the Velcro® straps 

through the openings in the sleeves 

and around the poles to secure the fly 

to the tent frame. See fig. 8.

• Also attach the wide Velcro® straps to 

the patches on the sleeves at each 

corner elbow. See fig. 9

• Locate the long adjustable web/buckle 

assemblies on the underside at each corner of 

the fly.  Attach these buckles to their mates on 

the corner stake-out webs and adjust to 

proper tension.  See fig.10

• There are also web/ring assemblies on the 

bottom at each corner of the fly. Slide these 

rings over the same stakes that hold the corner 

web loops. Adjust as necessary. See fig.11

• Grasp the web/rings on the vestibule and pull 

out and away from the tent. Stake these down 

and adjust tension. See fig.12

The Grand Manan has exceptional air flow. 

Detach the web rings from the stakes. Roll up the fly 

sides for 4-way ventilation. Secure in place with the 

attached loops and toggles.

NOTE:  In strong winds, tie extra cords ( included ) to the 

Take down: 

Pull up stakes and open doors. Remove the fly and fly 

rods. Push poles out of the sleeves. Collapse all poles 

and stow in the pole bag. Fold the tent/fly. Roll up 

both along with the pole bag towards a door. Stow 

all in the main bag.

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

Raise the tent:

• Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. If it’s windy, 

stake down one front corner into wind. 

• Assemble all of the shock corded poles. Keep the pole sections 

from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends. 

Make certain each plain end has been properly seated into the 

metal ferrule. Lay the poles side by side and divide according to 

length. Long for the tent and short for the fly. 

• Insert one of the two long 

poles into each sleeve. The 

poles run corner to corner, 

across at the center through 

the sleeves . See fig 1 & 2

• The tent is now freestanding. Place the tent in the 

desired location and stake it down through the corner 

web loops, not the rings. Stake the opposite corners 

while applying tension to square the tent and smooth 

any floor wrinkles. It works best to do this before you 

add the fly. See fig.5

• Insert a corner pin into the end of one of the 

poles. See fig. 3. 

• At the opposite end, with the pole in one 

hand and a pin & ring in the other, feed the 

pole up, bending it evenly along its length to 

create an arc. Make sure the ferrules do not 

get caught on the sleeves. 

Place the pin into the end of 

the pole to maintain tension. 

Repeat with the other pole.
