2. Securing the Tent
- Locate the stake loops around the base of the tent.
- Use the provided tent stakes to firmly secure each loop to the ground. This prevents the tent from shifting or blowing away in windy conditions.

The adjustable rainfly provides additional protection against wind and rain while allowing for ventilation.
- Drape the rainfly over the top of the tent, aligning its corners and attachment points with those on the tent body.
- Secure the rainfly using the clips or ties provided. Adjust as needed for optimal coverage and ventilation.
