Folding Instructions

Folding the Night Cat Pop-up Mosquito Tent requires a specific technique to achieve its compact size. It is recommended to practice this method a few times to become proficient.

  1. Step 1: Flatten the Tent

    Lay the tent flat on the ground, ensuring all sides are as even as possible.

  2. Step 2: Form a Figure '8'

    Hold the tent by its opposite corners. Twist the tent to form a figure '8' shape, bringing the two ends together.

  3. Step 3: Collapse into Circles

    Continue to fold the figure '8' until it collapses into a series of smaller, concentric circles. This upgraded method results in four circles, making the package 40% smaller than traditional designs.

  4. Step 4: Secure and Store

    Once folded into compact circles, secure the tent with the elastic strap and place it back into its carry bag.
