Component List:
1 Tent Body, 

1 Tent Fly, 

2 Front Poles,  

    2 Rear Poles ,

1 Spanner, 

1 Center Hoop,  2 Junction Tubes,     1 Carry Bag,

1 Pole Bag, 

1 Stake Bag w/ Stakes 

• Unroll and unfold the tent with the floor on the ground. Remove the 

fly and set it aside. Do not stake the tent down yet. In windy 
conditions, we recommend that an end should face into the wind 
and that you stake down one corner of this end. See fig.1.

• Join the shockcorded poles together and separate according to size. 

Try to prevent pole sections from snapping together, as this can 
damage the pole ends. Make certain that each insert has seated 
firmly into each plain end.

• Locate the longer pair of tent poles. Stand at the front of the tent and 

insert the tapered end of one of these poles into the diagonal hole in 
the junction tube marked “Front Right.” Insert the second long pole 
into the other diagonal hole in the same junction tube. See fig.2.

• Insert the locking post on the front right 

pole into a grommet on the web at the 
front of the tent at

 A. Place the other front 

pole into the grommet at 

B. See fig.3.

• Locate the short pair of tent poles. Stand 

at the rear of the tent and insert the 
tapered end of one of these poles into 
the diagonal hole in the junction tube 
marked “Rear Right.” Insert the second 
short pole into the other diagonal hole in 
the junction tube. 

• Insert the locking post on the rear 

right pole into a grommet on the web 
at the rear of the tent at

 C. Insert the 

other pole into the grommet at 

D.

  See fig.3.

• Connect tent to frame. Pull the shockcord loops at 

the peak of the tent up and over the junction tubes. 
Attach the tent clips to the poles. See figs.5 and 6.

• Insert a locking end tip of the 

curved center hoop into the 
grommet on the side web at 

E. 

Attach the three pole clips to the 
center hoop. 

• Move to the other side of the tent. Bend the center hoop down over 

the spanner and insert the end into the side web grommet at 

F. 

Attach the three remaining clips to the center hoop. See fig.7.

• Locate the spanner and insert one end through 

the center hole of the front junction tube. 
IMPORTANT: Disconnect rods in the middle of 
the spanner. See fig.4. Insert the opposite end of 
spanner through the rear junction tube. Push 
down on the disconnected rods until they spring 
back together. This forms a free standing frame.

• Stake the tent down. Pull 

the floor taut as you work. 
Always stake through the 
web loops or rings, not 
through the grommets. 

  See fig.8.

• Drape the fly over the tent 

with the vestibule over the 
front door. 

• Fold the fly back and reach 

under it to attach the Velcro

®

 

fasteners, from the inside of 
fly, to the frame and junction 
tubes. See fig.9.

• The tent features a 

High/Low venting, side opening door that 

will increase the amount of air flow through the tent. 

• In strong winds, tie extra lines to the storm loops on the fly and 

stake down. Adjust the sliders so that the lines are tight.

• Attach the junction tubes to the tents. Tie the included cord to 

the shockcord. Then, feed the other end through 1/8” hole in 
the tube and tie a knot. This will help prevent loss and make the 
tubes easier to find in the dark.

• Connect the four corner 

buckles from the fly to their 
mates on the tent corners.

• Stake out the rear vestibule 

loop. Move to the front of 
the tent, pull out the front 
vestibule and stake down the stake out loops. Draw these out 
until the webs on the vestibule are tight. Work you way around 
the tent and stake out the side webs. Take care, the fly must 
not contact the tent body. Tighten all straps as needed. 

  See fig.10.
