GUY ROPE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 Tie a loop with a knot to fit over the pin on the
top of the pole system or tie the rope to a “D”
ring, depending on which product you have.
STEP 2 Tie the other end of the rope to the metal clew.
STEP 3 Loop the guy rope around the stake and inter-
twine the clew and guy rope. Make sure you
have tension on the guy rope after you are
done. If there is not enough tension, just slide
the clew up the guy rope towards the top of the
pole or “D” ring to tighten.
SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Make sure you stake the tent (with the tents stakes included) in windy weather, or if you anticipate afternoon winds coming up while
you are away from your campsite. Stake one corner, then stake each consecutive corner in a clockwise rations. Make sure the tent
floor remains tight. After staking the corners return and stake any other stake loop positions if applicable. Always place your tent a
safe distance from your campfire - unstaked tents placed upwind of the fire can be blown into the fire. Tents placed downwind of the
fire are often showered with tiny sparks that can burn holes into the lightweight fabrics of your tent. The frame system on this tent
was designed to collapse during high winds. By collapsing in the wind the frame will not break, offering you years of continued use.
We recommend that you practice setting your tent at home before taking it into the wilderness.
WATERPROOFING YOUR TENT:
Texsport tents are made form coated water-repellent fabrics. However, the sewing process, necessary in all tent fabrication, can
cause water leakage where the sewing needles have perforated the fabric in the seams. Without treatment the tent will leak. Every
new tent needs to be seam sealed to make it water tight. We recommend using Texsport Spray Waterproofing/Seam Sealer which
may be found at your local outdoor outfitter or camping store.
WARNING:
Texsport tent fabrics are flame retardant treated per C.P.A.I.-84 specification. However, for your safety, we recommend that NO
OPEN FLAME BE USED IN OR NEAR YOUR TENT.
TENT STAKES:
All tents should be staked down. The stakes supplied with your tent are effective for most conditions; however, specialized stakes are
recommended in certain cases:
a.
Sand Stakes:
Long broad stakes designed to hold in loose sand.
b.
Steel Stakes:
Most effective in hard, rocky or frozen soil. These can rust and their sharp edges could damage the tent if
stored with the tent. In extremely hard soil a steel rod can be used to make the starter hole.
c.
Skewer Stakes: Lightweight, but less holding power that the standard stakes.
d.
Snow Stakes:
The most common method is to bury objects with a great deal of surface area in the snow i.e. branches,
aluminum pie plates, stuff sacks or tent bags filled with snow and buried: (this may be referred to as the
dead man method). Tents can also be secured to snow skis or poles which are stuck into the snow.
