• Work in a fully ventilated area. • Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer. • Decide which seams need to be sealed. Seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both floor and fly seams and reinforcements. • Apply sealant to t

Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed. • With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent connection points and stake down any pull outs. • Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself. Staking in special conditions: • Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil. • Hard, Ro

CLEANING: • Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage the tent’s protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such as the seams, before storing or mold / mildew are likely to grow. • Clean the tent poles with a cloth and lubricate the

Pull the tent into a rough hexagon. Do not stake down the tent just yet; but in windy conditions, stake down one corner that faces into the wind. 2 Assemble the shockcorded tent poles and rod. Carefully seat each section. Try to keep the poles from snapping together as this can damage the ends. Set the shorter vestibule rod aside. 3 Insert the tent poles into the mesh sleeves. • Near the side of the door, insert and slide a pole through the continuous mesh sleeve from A to B. Push the pole rathe

Do not bounce tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and/or damage the pole ends. 1. Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. In windy conditions, stake down one front corner into wind. See fig.1. 3. Fit the posts into the grommets: There are webs and grommets sewn to each corner of the tent. Start at either end and insert the locking posts from the base of the frame poles into one of the grommets. Repeat at the opposite end, raising the frame a

Start at one end and drag the fly up and over the top of the tent [works best with two people]. It only fits one way; align the yellow web of the fly to the yellow web on the tent. See fig.8. • Reach under the fly and wrap all the Velcro® straps around the poles to secure the fly to the frame. See fig. 9. Stake down the y: • There are, web/ring assemblies on the bottom at each side of the fly vestibule door. Pull these out and away from the tent and to stake down. Adjust as necessary. See fig.10

Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and/or damage the pole ends. Raise the tent: • Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. If it’s windy, stake down one front corner into wind. • Lay the poles side by side and divide according to length. 2 long for the tent, 1 long [ with gray section ] Hoop and 2 short for the fly. • Assemble the shock corded poles as you work. Try to keep the pole

Start at one end and drag the fly up and over the top of the tent. It only fits one way. Align the front door of the fly to the front entrance of the screen room. See fig.7. Secure the y to the frame: • Reach under the fly and wrap the Velcro® straps through the openings in the sleeves and around the poles to secure the fly to the tent frame. See fig. 8. • Also attach the wide Velcro® straps to the patches on the sleeves at each corner elbow. See fig. 9 • Locate the long adjustable web/buckle as

Hungry critters will chew through tent fabric in search of food. STORAGE: • Make sure the tent is completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool place. To prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe. • Ideally, the tent poles should be stored in their fully assembled state. This reduces the tension on the shock cord, prolonging its life. • The tent bag should be used only as a carry sack and not for storage. COLOR

These are specific to each tent model. Given the importance of proper ventilation, We use High/Low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air in through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. High/Low venting is accomplished within the inner tent via roof vents, doors and windows. It is important to vent the vestibule. Unvented, it can inhibit airflow into the tent. Our tent vestibules profit from the ability to “short sheet” by means of zippers & toggle
