Setting up the Tent
Assembling
the poles
Gently
assemble all the poles.
Do not flick
the poles.
Check all sections are fully inserted.
Preparing
the tent
Put the tent on the ground where
the upwind end will be. Always pitch
end into the wind if possible.
Find the up-wind peg points and peg
the corners securely to the ground.
Spread out the tent flat on the ground.
Inserting
the poles
Take an end pole (270cm), and find the
sleeve opening closest to the windward end.
Insert the pole into the sleeve, and
push
through till the tip reaches the closed end.
Do not pull
on the poles - always push.
Pull the fabric over the pole till the tip can
be inserted in the eyelet in the open end.
Leave the pole flat on the ground, and
insert the middle pole (310cm), and
then the other end pole (270cm).
Pitching the
tent
Find the end peg points at the
down wind end of the tent. Pull
the peg points down wind.
As the tent becomes tight, all the poles
will stand up. Pull and shake slightly
so the tension is evenly distributed
along the length of the tent.
Peg down the down-wind end of
the tent at the corners.
Make sure
the tent cannot blow away.
Connect the end straps of the inner
tent to the corners of the outer tent.
Safety
Do not use a gas cooker, barbecue or
other burning device inside the tent.
RISK
OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Do not place hot appliances near the
walls, roof or curtains.
RISK OF FIRE
Never allow children to play near
hot appliances.
RISK OF BURNS
Always keep some vents open.
RISK OF SUFFOCATION
No Gap
Taking down the Tent
Reverse procedure to setting up the tent.
Do not pull
on the poles - always
push them out of the pole sleeve.
Guy Cords
Attaching
guy cords
Tie guy cords securely onto the top
guy loops on the main poles.
In normal conditions, 3 guys per side
is enough. In extreme conditions,
use 6 guys per side plus end guys.
Using the
guy cords
Peg down the guy cords, adjusted
as long as possible.
Adjust so that there is a
small amount
of tension on each side of the tent.
If possible, the guy cords should
be angled so they pull the pole
slightly away from the wind.
Internal guy
cords
In extreme end winds or heavy snow,
tie a guy cord or string across the inner
tent, to help support the poles.
Side Poles (optional)
Inserting
the Pole
Asssemble side pole (366 cm) and Insert
into the sleeve at the side of the flysheet.
Gently push it through the sleeve, wiggling
the pole if it stops as it crosses another pole.
Insert the pole tips into the side
pole grommets (part of the
inner tent or groundfloor).
Fasten the velcro over the side pole,
near each end of the sleeve. This holds
the end pole and side poles together.
Tensioning
the Side of
the Tent
Attach the end straps to fabric
triangles near the side pole sleeves.
Tighten the end straps - only a
small
amount
of tension is needed, just enough
to keep the outer tent fabric tight.
Extreme conditions
- top and bottom
Extreme conditions
- internal guy cords
Normal Conditions
- top only
Long as possible
