STIRLING SERIES
16
Lay out your canvas
Two pairs of hands will make the job
much easier
Use a window stay to help the zip along
Lay out your poles
Insert the hooked end of the pole
through the loops on each tent bow
Upright pole, followed by the ridge
pole, then the flat end spreader bar.
All Ezytrail annexes are free standing, but we suggest that you always use guy ropes, especially if there is a chance of wind.
7.
Once all the perimeter uprights and spreader bars are up, it’s time to put in the c clip uprights and spreader bars
C-clip spreader bars stop water from
pooling in bad weather
Annexe:
Your annexe will take approximately 20-30 minutes to setup completely
and is best done with at least 2 people.
1.
The first step is to unfold your annexe canvas and lay it out on the ground, make sure its sitting the right
way and you have a nice pile of all your annexe walls and shower room off to one side
2.
Then lower your centre bow to make it easier to attach the annexe, this can be done without doing this but
this is much easier
3.
Here’s a little trick for you, instead of trying to climb up and zip the annexe on, once you get the zip
started use a window stay to help the zip along
4.
Now lay out all the poles we need before starting, for the Stirling we need 3 x ridgepoles, 3 x flat end
spreader bars, 3 x c clip spreader bars and 2 x c clip uprights
5.
Start off by inserting the hooked end of the ridge poles through the canvas holes putting the hook through
the loop inside the tent, this is easier to do with a friend helping
6.
Once all your ridgepoles are in start at one end and put up the upright and add in the flat spreader poles,
and then last of all put the canvas over the top with the upright spigot through the eyelet and use the
elastic hook to secure. It’s best to have your mate or partner help with this part, it’s really a two-person job.
