2. Choose a shaded site to avoid UV degradation
of the fabric.
3. Avoid pitching under trees as falling branches,
resin, etc. can damage the product.
4. Clear the site of sharp stones and debris to
avoid damaging the groundsheet.
5. Set up the product with the doors facing away
from the wind.

• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure
adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to
adjust.
