6. Attach Gable Tarps: Install the gable tarps at each end of the tent. These tarps include entrance openings. Secure them to the frame.
7. Mount Side Wall Tarps: Attach the individual 2-meter wide side wall tarps to the tent frame. These can be fixed to the ground frame to act as wind deflectors.

• Ventilation: The tent features special side wall mounting that allows for air circulation and self-climate control. Additionally, flaps located at each gable provide optimal ventilation. Open these flaps as needed to ensure proper airflow.
• Entrances: The gable tarps include entrance openings. These can be rolled up and secured to allow access.
• Side Walls: The individual side wall tarps can be opened or closed as desired. When closed, they can be fixed to the ground frame to act as wind deflectors, providing additional protection from the elements.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning Tarp: Clean the PE tarp with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and its UV protection. Allow the tarp to dry completely before storage.
• Cleaning Frame: Wipe down the galvanized steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for any signs of rust or damage.
• Storage: When not in use, disassemble the tent and store all components in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the tarp is clean and dry to prevent mold and mildew.
