attaching the pole clips as
you go. See fig. 8.
2. Build the frame 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 frame over the tent so that the pole posts align to
the tent corners. See fig.2, 3 & 4.
a. Reach under the fly and find the
hook and loop fasteners. Wrap
them around the poles. See fig.12.
b. 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.13.
5. Stake the tent down: The tent is
now freestanding. Move it to your
desired location. Stake it down
through the web loops. See fig.9.
Stake opposite corners while applying
tension to smooth the floor wrinkles
and square the tent. See fig.10.
7. Stake out the vestibules: At the front of the tent, pull the stake out loops on the vestibule
taut and stake them down. Make sure that the vestibule is tight across the door. Repeat
with the other vestibule at the rear of the tent.
8. Stake out the side vents: Pull out the vent cord on the side of the tent, stake down and
adjust tension with the slider. It is important to stake these out for proper ventilation.
Pull out the cord attached to the loop at
the tent floor, tie it to the vent stake
and adjust. See fig.14.

Repeat on the other side.

3. Fit the posts into the grommets:
There are webs and grommets
sewn to each corner of the tent.
Start at either end and insert the
locking posts from the base of
the frame poles into one of the
grommets. Repeat at the

opposite end, raising the
frame as you work. See fig.
4, 5 & 6.
Take down: Pull up stakes. Remove the fly and fold it into a long rectangle. Pull poles out of the grommets,
collapse the frame and stow. Fold the tent into a long rectangle and lay the fly on top 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: with web loops, grommets, and side release buckles. The Footprint, along with the fly
and poles creates a lightweight, compact basic shelter with a carry weight reduced by more than 25%.
