Setup Instructions

The Thinlute Screen Tent is designed for quick and easy setup, typically taking two people approximately 5 minutes. No tools are required.

1. Step 1: Prepare the Area and Unpack

   Choose a flat, clear area for setup. Open the package and confirm all accessories are present. Lay the white fabric of the screen house flat on the ground, spreading it out completely.

2. Step 2: Insert Diagonal Poles

   Pass the two thin poles marked with red into the diagonal sleeves of the screen tent fabric. These poles form the initial cross-structure of the roof.

3. Step 3: Insert Perimeter Poles

   Pass the four thicker poles with blue marks around the perimeter sleeves of the tent. These poles will form the main support structure for the roof and upper walls.

4. Step 4: Attach G-Hooks

   Attach the G-hooks located on the fabric to the corresponding steel poles. This secures the fabric to the frame.

5. Step 5: Insert Diagonal Leg Poles

   Insert the two diagonal thick leg poles into their designated slots. Once inserted, put them on the other two leg poles to create the tent's height and structure.

6. Step 6: Secure Leg Poles

   Fix the other end of each leg pole to the pin ring at the bottom of the tent. Adjust the length of the poles as needed to ensure the tent is taut and stable.

7. Step 7: Adjust and Tie Wind Ropes

   Adjust the surroundings of the screen room to ensure proper tension. Tie the provided wind ropes to the designated loops on the tent and secure them to the ground using stakes. This significantly increases stability.

8. Step 8: Install Ground Nails/Stakes

   Install the ground nails (stakes) through the loops at the base of the tent and into the ground. This prevents the tent from shifting and helps keep insects from entering from underneath.
