Vango Ultralite 200 Tent Pitching Instructions
Brand: Vango
PITCHING
- Assemble the five poles and lay on the ground.
- Open flysheet on ground and position tent in desired direction.
- Locate black pole sleeve at apex of flysheet and insert the longest pole.
- Locate one end of each pole into corresponding eyelets on pole anchor strap.
- Push the pole into an arch and locate end into corresponding eyelet.
- Attach the flysheet clips to the poles.
- The medium length pole is positioned at right angles to the main pole, across the top of the vent.
- Insert the three short poles into their eyelets at each end of the tent.
- Peg out all anchor straps and pegging points.
VARIABLE AIR FLOW VENTILATION
The large vents in the roof of the tent are best left open as much as possible to:
- reduce condensation
- stabilise the tent in strong winds
TENSION BAND SYSTEM
- TBS increases the stability of the Ultralite 200.
- Tighten the cords once the tent is pitched.
- DO NOT OVERTENSION. Excess tension will alter the shape of the tent and may permanently distort the poles.
