ASSEMBLY 
INSTRUCTIONS 
FOR THE 
TETRAGON 1610
Insert one of the corner pins into the end of 
the pole at 
A. At the opposite end B, 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. Place the pin into the 
end of the pole to maintain tension. See fig 2.
Repeat with the other pole from 
C to D, raising 
the tent as you work.
Insert the corner pin at 
A into the ferrule at the 
end of the side pole. At the opposite end 
D
with the pole in one hand and a pin & 
ring in the other, bend the pole 
evenly along its length to 
create an arc. Place the pin 
into the end at 
D to maintain 
tension. 
Repeat with the left side 
tent body from 
C to B
See fig. 4.
NOTE:  
•     Although it is possible to pitch this tent alone, it is faster and  
       easier with two people. 
•    Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent 
      bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the 
      shock-cord and/or damage the pole ends.
Unroll and unfold the tent and lay the floor on the ground. 
Remove the fly and open the tent door. Do not stake down the 
tent just yet; but in windy conditions, stake down one corner into 
the wind.
Assemble all the shock-corded poles. Make sure each pole 
section has firmly seated into the adjacent section. Try to keep 
the poles from snapping together as this can damage the ends.
 
Lay the poles side by side and divide according to length. 
Slide the two black long poles through the sleeves on the main 
tent body. Make sure the ferrules do not get caught on the sleeve. 
They should run corner to corner crossing in the center. From 
A to 
B and from C to D.  See fig. 1. 
Slide the shorter grey poles into 
the sleeves over the side 
windows. Again, make sure the 
ferrules do not get caught on 
the sleeve.
See fig. 3. 
Drape the fly over the tent so that the 
brim rod sleeves are above the doors and 
the vestibule is at the front door. Slide 
the brim rods into the sleeves.  See fig 7.
Reach under the fly and insert the brim rod 
tips into web grommets to tension the rod 
and create an arch over the door. Repeat over 
the rear window. See fig 10.
Pull out and stake down the two front loops 
of the fly/vestibule. Then pull out, stake down 
and tension the attached cords on each side 
of the fly. The fly should not lay in contact 
with the tent. See fig. 11.
Reach under the fly and wrap the hook 
and loop straps around the poles to 
secure the fly to the tent frame.  See fig 8.
Fasten the shock-corded J-hook, at each 
of the corners of the fly, to the stake out 
rings on corners of the tent.  See fig 9. 
Important: In strong winds, tie extra 
guy out cords (not provided) to 
the storm loops on the fly. 
Stake these out securely.

Inside the tent, hang the two dividers and… 
 
Your tent is ready for use!
Start at the bottom and attach all the tent clips to the 
poles. See fig. 5. Square up the tent and stake the main 
tent down at 
A and B then C and D. Stake opposing 
corners while applying tension to smooth out the floor 
wrinkles. Stake the pull out webs at 
F, then H.
