Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for a quick and easy setup of your Amazon Basics Dome Camping Tent.

1. Unpack Components: Remove the tent, poles, stakes, and rainfly from the carrying bag. Lay the tent body flat on a clear, level surface.
2. Assemble Poles: Connect the shock-corded tent poles. The tent features poles with elastic cords for quick assembly.
3. Insert Poles: Slide the assembled poles through the sleeves on the tent body. The dome style design utilizes these poles to create its freestanding structure.
4. Secure Tent Body: Attach the tent body to the poles using the clips or ties provided. Ensure the tent is taut and stable.
5. Attach Rainfly: Drape the removable rainfly over the tent body. Align the rainfly with the tent and secure it at the corners and attachment points. The rainfly provides additional waterproofing and protection.
6. Stake Down Tent: Use the included stakes (12 included) to secure the tent and rainfly to the ground. This provides stability, especially in windy conditions.

Operating the Tent

Your Amazon Basics Dome Camping Tent is designed for comfort and convenience during your outdoor adventures.

• Ventilation: The tent features mesh windows and a mesh ceiling (when the rainfly is removed) to provide excellent airflow and reduce condensation. This design helps maintain a comfortable internal temperature.
• Waterproofing: The tent is constructed with coated polyester fabric and a welded polyethylene floor with inverted seams to ensure waterproofing. The removable rainfly offers additional protection against rain.
• Storage: Utilize the internal mesh pocket for storing small items like phones, keys, or headlamps, keeping them organized and easily accessible.
• Entry/Exit: The tent features a large D-style door for easy entry and exit. Ensure zippers are fully closed to prevent insects or moisture from entering.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your tent and ensure its continued performance.

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the tent by wiping down any dirty areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric's waterproofing.
• Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away. Packing a wet tent can lead to mildew, mold, and degradation of the fabric. If you must pack it wet, unpack and dry it thoroughly as soon as possible.
• Storage: Store the tent in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it in its original carrying bag to protect it from dust and damage.
• Pole Care: Inspect tent poles for any damage or bending. Clean poles if they become dirty.
• Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and free of debris. Lubricate them periodically with a silicone-based zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their solutions:

Issue: Water leaking into the tent.

Solution: Ensure the rainfly is properly positioned and secured. Check that all zippers are fully closed. Verify that the tent is pitched on level ground and that the welded polyethylene floor is not punctured. The tent features inverted seams for enhanced waterproofing.

Issue: Tent instability in wind.

Solution: Make sure all stakes are firmly driven into the ground. Adjust guy lines (if applicable) to create tension and stability. Ensure poles are correctly assembled and seated in their respective grommets or sleeves.

Issue: Condensation inside the tent.

Solution: Increase ventilation by opening mesh windows or the door (if weather permits). Ensure proper airflow to reduce moisture buildup. The tent's design with mesh panels helps minimize condensation.
