EXPED TENTS

Thank you for purchasing an EXPED tent. 
Innovation, quality and refined details 
distinguish them from all others.  

With the Venus III DLX we differentiate between 
windward and leeward sides for enhanced weather 
protection and increased ventilation. The doors also 
face the leeward side.

1

 Windward sid

e (dark green cords). The rainfly 

fabric reaches the ground and keeps wind, sand and 
snow out.

2

 Leeward side

 (orange cords). A small gap 

enhances ventilation.

3

 Pole sleeves 

The internal flat pole sleeves are color 

and number coded for setup. 

4

 Cord Stuffsacks 

prevent tangling of tent cords 

during packing. Simply insert three fingers into the 
Cord Stuffsack, wrap the tent cord around your fingers 
and then turn the stuffsack inside out like with a pair of 
socks.

5

 Guy lines 

For perfect setup there are numerous 

pre-mounted guy lines attached to the tent. Our 
Dyneema guy lines are reflective and buckles allow 
stepless adjustment.

6

 Pole repair tubes 

are integrated in the supports 

of the air vents and are immediately at hand when 
required for repairs.

CONTENTS 

pre-mounted canopy and rainfly;
accessory bag (4 tent poles, pegs, spare zipper slider, 
repair tube, spare pole segment, guylines, fabric 
patches; packsack

1

 Lay out the combined 

canopy and rainfly. The side  
with the orange guy loops 
facing downwind. 

6

 Tension the rainfly using 

the webbing straps. Secure 
the tent corners with pegs.

8

Place a peg in the 

loops of the guy lines and 
tension.

7

 Apply the guy lines 

found on the pole sleeves 
in a star shaped configu-
ration when seen from 
above. 

3

 First insert the 3 poles in 

the color coded pole 
sleeves No.1+2+3 until they 
curve.

5

Insert the ridge pole into 

the color coded sleeve 
No. 4 until it curves. Insert 
the end into the webbing 
pocket and pull tight.

4

Secure the pole tips into 

the grommets.

2

 Secure the head end 

with 3 pegs (dark green guy 
loops).

Note!

 Optimal stability is achieved only when the tent 

is tensioned properly. Nylon fabrics absorb moisture, 
expanding the fabric, which will contract again when 
dry.Please re-tension the tent when necessary. 

TEARDOWN

Clean out the tent and close the zippers leaving 
a 10 cm gap. 

Note!

 Normally, the canopy and rainfly 

remain attached. For tear down in rain, the canopy 
can be disassembled and packed away dry. For 
the next setup, set up the rainfly first and then mount 
the canopy.

1

 Remove all pegs and 

release the tent cords. 
The pegs are stored in the 
accessory bag.

2

 First, release tension 

on the ridge pole and 
push it out of the sleeve 
(never pull).

3

 Next, release tension 

on the main poles and 
push them out of the 
sleeves (never pull).

4

 Carefully disassemble 

the poles and place them 
in the pole sack.
