Component List: 

1 Tent Body with Guy Ropes,  6 Wall Poles,  3 Roof Poles, 1 Fly Pole,  2-3 Awning Poles,

1 Fly, 1 Awning, 1 Divider Curtain, 1 Carry Bag, 1 Stake Bag/Stakes,  1 Pole Bag

2. 

Assemble the shock corded 

poles

 and divide according to 

size and shape. Take care; 

make sure that each pole 

section is fully seated into the 

next. Do not allow the 

sections to snap together as 

this can damage the ends. 

See fig 2.

1. 

Remove from the carry bag

 and separate all the components. Unroll and unfold the 

fabric top side up, on a clean, dry space and open the doors. If windy, stake down the 

windward corner. See fig 1. 

4. 

Raise the tent.

 Start on one side and insert 

black wall poles into the corner elbows. At the 
bottom of each pole, insert the pin/ring 
(attached to the corner web) into the 
bottom of each pole. Next, install a 
tan pole at the center. With the 
tans, it works best to insert 
the ring/pin first and then 
fit the pole into the 
elbow.  See fig 5. 

Repeat on the other side until the tent 

is at full height and freestanding.

5. 

Attach all clips

 to the wall poles. See fig 6.

Stake the tent down through the corner web loops. Stake opposite corners while applying 

tension to smooth the floor wrinkles. Next, align the center poles and stake down. Do this 
before you add the fly. See fig 7.

Guy Out: 

This tent has very large straight walls that act differently in high winds. If there are 

high winds, carefully follow the guy out instructions on the back side of this sheet.

Awning: 

If it's raining, lower both corner awning poles to create run-off channels. Loosen 

shockcord on each corner pole, lower the angle of each pole and re-tighten guy lines.

Power Port: 

Open zipper and run extension cord through opening. Close zipper so that it 

rests next to the extension cord. Make sure the zipper cover is not twisted or tucked. The 

cover must lay flat against the outside of the tent to keep out rain.

Take Down:

 Pull up all stakes. Release the fly's hook & loop straps. Remove fly. Remove fly 

poles. Remove clips from wall poles and pull poles off of the pins. Remove roof poles. 

Collapse all poles and stow. Fold the tent onto itself then fold the fly and lay it on tent. Roll 

up both towards the open door and stow.

Sweep Out:

 Inside, at the bottom center of each 

door is a sewn-in web loop. Pull this loop to the 

outside and stake it down to provide a ready 

exit for floor sweepings. See fig 16. 

Options:

 Floor Saver and Gear Loft

6.

 Attach the fly to the pole. 

Lay out the fly with the inside side up

,

 on ground at the 

front of the tent. Fit the fly pole into the pockets sewn to the hem. The pole runs from 
side to side down the center of the fly. Secure the fly to the pole by wrapping the hook 
and loop fasteners around the fly pole. See fig 8, 9 and 10.

7. 

Attach the fly to the tent. 

Turn the fly assembly over and align 

it so that the pole ends point to the windows. Grasp the corners 

of the of the fly and drag them up and over the roof poles to 

completely cover the roof. ( This is much easier with two people. 

) The end of the poles should point out over the windows.

At the corners of the tent, reach under the fly and attach the hook 

& loop straps to the wall poles just below the elbow and down 

the length of the wall poles, securing the fly in place.  See fig 11.

At the bottom/corners of the tent,  attach the shockcorded J-hooks 

to the nylon rings on the corner web loops. See fig 12.

8. 

Stake out the attached guy ropes

 and adjust tension with the 

in-line sliders. 

9.

 Install the awning. 

Open the zippered flaps on the fly. See fig 

13. Reach under the fly and clip the awning to the shockcords 

on the corner elbows. See fig 14.

Tie a loop at each end of the guy ropes. Fit the pins 

of the awning poles into the grommets at the hem 

of the awning. Hang a guy rope loop over the pole 

pin, stake the rope out and adjust tension as 

needed. See fig 15.
