SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

p5. Take the main straight pole through the door, find the
centre of the cone and push the pole and tent up until it's ver-
tical.
p6. Put the A frame together and place it inside the door (it's
easier to get it through the door if you complete putting it to-
gether once inside). Put the spike through the hole at the top
of the door and fit the feet into their holding pockets.
p7. Zip the door shut and attach the first guy rope above the
door using the large pegs. Then attach the rest of the guy ropes
around the whole tent without putting any of them under too
much tension.
NB:
• All the guy ropes need to follow the lines of
the seams in the roof.
• Adjust the guy rope slider so you have approx 50cm
of loop to the peg - this allows adjustment in both
directions.
• It is important to make sure the tent stays
symmetrical and that the tension is evenly spread.
TIP:
If the door seems too tight, move the two
guy ropes either side of the door in towards the middle
of the door to relieve some tension.
p8. Once all the pegs are in, adjust the guy ropes to create the
desired tension.
By doing it this way, and following the seam lines, your Sibley
tent will look like this: perfect and without creases.
JOB DONE!!!

How to pack up a Deluxe tent & get it back into
its bag!
Here are some tips on packing up your tent after use.
As stated all over the set up instructions, it is VITAL that
your tent is stored bone dry otherwise it will get attacked by
mould. It 's fine taking it down damp, however you MUST
ensure you hang it up to dry within 24 hours.
You don't have to set the tent up again, just hang it on a wash-
ing line, over a car or over some chairs. Basically, it just needs
some air.
This is how to get your tent back in the bag without
hassle:
p1. Take all the poles and pegs out of the tent whilst keeping
the canvas off the grass - this helps to keep your tent clean and
grass stain free.
Without standing on the canvas, fold half of the tent over so
you have a half moon with the groundsheet facing up.
p2. Let that half of the groundsheet dry out and you might
want to wipe off any mud or worm casks. If it's not a dry day
you'll need to dry the tent out when you get home. The idea is
that you always have canvas touching canvas and groundsheet
