Setup Instructions
Estimated setup time: Approximately 25 minutes.
- Choose a Site: Select a flat, dry area free of debris. Lay out the tent body on the ground.
- Assemble Poles: Connect the fiberglass pole sections. Identify the different pole lengths if applicable and match them to the corresponding sleeves on the tent.
- Insert Poles: Carefully slide the assembled poles through the fabric sleeves on the tent. Avoid forcing them to prevent damage.

- Secure the Base: Peg down the corners and sides of the tent body to the ground.
- Attach Guy Ropes: Extend all guy ropes and secure them to the ground with pegs, ensuring even tension. This provides stability against wind.
- Inner Tent Setup: If the sleeping areas are separate, attach them to the interior hooks or loops.
- Ventilation: Open vents and entrances as needed for airflow.

- Ground Protection: The tent includes a ground protection layer designed to shield the tent floor from moisture, water, and other ground elements.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the tent with a soft brush or sponge and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents. Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew and odors. Air dry in a shaded area.
- Storage: Store the tent in its carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Pole Care: Inspect poles for damage before and after each use. Replace any cracked or broken sections.
- Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and lubricated with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.
