Setup Instructions
- Lay Out Shelter: Unpack the Kelty Cabana and lay it flat on your chosen surface. Ensure the area is clear of sharp objects.
- Stake Out Corners: Secure the four corners of the shelter using the provided stakes or fill the integrated sandbags with sand for stability.
- Assemble Poles: Connect the fiberglass pole segments, ensuring each segment is fully seated in its ferrule. The Cabana uses three poles.
- Insert Poles:
- Slide the longest pole into one of the Quick Corner sleeves located near the front door. Arch the pole and insert the other end into the corresponding Quick Corner sleeve.
- Repeat this process for the two shorter poles, inserting them into the Quick Corners above the front door and at the back of the shelter.
- Lift and Clip: Lift the main pole to raise the shelter. Connect all clips on the shelter fabric to the poles to secure the structure.
