Page 2: Site Preparation
A ground sheet should be cut or folded smaller than the tent floor to prevent water pooling between the floor and the ground sheet. Another light and convenient option is MEC’s custom-made, coated nylon Footprint. In winter conditions, we recommend digging out a platform with surrounding walls. - Page 3 ASSEMBLING THE TENT 1. Assemble each pole section-by-section as described above, then insert it into its hole in the hub. The finished pole assembly will look like an “X” with two short crossbar poles. 2.

Page 6: Care And Maintenance
è Care and Maintenance PROTECTING THE TENT Ultraviolet damage is the single largest hazard your tent faces in its lifetime. Fabrics should not be exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time; this will eventually result in colour fading and fabric failure. The uncoated fabrics of the tent canopy are most susceptible to damage from UV and should be covered by the more durable fly. - Page 7 Be careful not to damage the tent fabrics when removing the damaged pole. REPLACING A BROKEN POLE SECTION The MEC Grip-Tip ™ pole tips are press-fitted into place. Carefully tug out the pole end tip nearest to the broken section.
