insure that all parts are present and to familiarize yourself with the
tent’s assembly. This will have a great effect on how well enjoy your

sealed using a water based sealer to avoid water leaking into tent from

Step 1- TENT SET UP (see diagram on following page)

To prolong the life of your tent floor we suggest using a ground cloth cut slightly smaller than the floor of your tent and that you select
a clean level area for your campsite.

1) Spread the tent body out on the ground.

2) Fully open all of the poles (NOTE: Poles and hubs are color coded for easier assembly).

3) Carefully thread the main pole through the BLUE pole sleeve (Figure A) and insert the ends into the Center hubs being sure to insert
the pole in the matching color coded opening of hubs (Figure B).

4) Carefully thread the 2 Cross poles through the RED pole sleeves and insert the ends into the opening of the Eave hubs that have the
extra internal cylinder and matching color code (Figure C).

5) Insert the End poles into the Center hubs and insert these into the Eave hubs that have the extra internal cylinder and matching color
code (Figure C). Attach the pole clips (Figure D).

6) Starting at one end, insert 2 of the shorter steel poles into the larger end opening of the Eave hubs (Figure C) and insert the pin located
on a ring at the bottom of the tent corner into the end of the poles (Figure E).

7) Move to the center of the tent and insert the 4 longer steel poles into the larger end opening of the Eave hubs (Figure C). Be
sure to cross the poles according to the POLE DIAGRAM shown above and insert the pin located on a ring at the bottom of the
tent corner into the end of the poles (Figure E).

8) On the last end insert the last 2 short steel poles into the larger end opening of the Eave hubs (Figure C) and insert the pin located on a
ring at the bottom of the tent corner into the end of the poles (Figure E).

9) Insert all of the pole clips to the tent poles (Figure D).

10) Stake the tent down through the rings at the ends of the poles with heavy duty stakes (Figure F) and stake the tent down on the
nylon loops located at the bottom center of each side of the tent with standard stakes (Figure G).
