Setup Instructions
Setting up your Coleman Instant Tent is designed to be quick and straightforward, typically taking around 60 seconds for the main structure.
- Unpack the Tent: Remove the tent from its expandable carry bag and lay it flat on the ground at your desired campsite. Ensure the tent is fully spread out.
- Extend the Poles: Locate the pre-attached poles. Begin by extending the central hub upwards. Then, extend each of the four corner poles outwards and upwards until they click into place. Each pole segment will lock automatically.
- Secure the Tent: Once the main structure is standing, use the included stakes to secure the tent's base to the ground at each corner and along the sides. This provides stability, especially in windy conditions.
- Attach the Rainfly (Optional but Recommended): Drape the vented rainfly over the top of the tent. Secure the rainfly to the tent poles using the integrated clips or straps. Adjust for proper tension to ensure optimal water shedding and airflow.

Interior Space and Organization:
With broad dimensions of 8 x 7 feet and a center height of 4-foot 11-inch, the tent offers ample room for comfortable movement. It is designed to fit one queen-size air bed. Integrated storage pockets are available to keep small items like phones, keys, or flashlights organized and easily accessible.
Weather Protection:
The WeatherTec system incorporates patented welded floors and inverted seams to prevent water from entering the tent, keeping the interior dry even during rain. The rugged Polyguard 2X double-thick fabric provides enhanced durability and resistance to wear and tear.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning:
To clean your tent, use mild soap and lukewarm water. Apply with a soft sponge and rinse thoroughly. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or machine wash, as this can damage the fabric and waterproof coating. Air dry completely before packing away.
Storage:
Ensure the tent is completely dry before folding and storing it in the provided carry bag. Storing a damp tent can lead to mildew and fabric degradation. The carry bag expands for easy packing, making it simple to fit the tent back in after use.

Troubleshooting
- Water Leaks: While the tent features WeatherTec technology, extreme weather conditions or improper setup can sometimes lead to leaks. Ensure all seams are properly sealed and the rainfly is taut and correctly positioned. Consider applying a seam sealer for added protection in heavy rain.
- Difficulty with Pole Extension/Retraction: If poles are stiff, ensure buttons are fully depressed when extending or retracting. Clean any dirt or debris from the pole joints. Avoid forcing the poles.
- Condensation Inside Tent: Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and ensuring the rainfly's vents are clear. Condensation is natural, especially in humid conditions, but proper airflow can minimize it.
- Tent Instability in Wind: Always use all provided stakes and guylines to secure the tent. Position the tent with the narrowest side facing the prevailing wind direction if possible.
