Kiwi Camping HOMESTEAD Pitching Instructions

1. Select a dry, level site and clear any sharp objects that may puncture
the floor. Remove the tent from its carry bag, untie fabric ties and unroll
the tent.
- Save the fabric ties to make packing the tent away easier.
- Avoid camping under
trees
as sap and bird droppings may damage the canvas.
- You will need at least two people to pitch the tent safely and efficiently.

- The poles are coded with a number on a coloured sticker for easier assembly.
The green poles are along the bottom (green for grass), the blue poles are the
upper level poles (blue for blue sky) and the red poles are the porch poles.
- Although the stickers should last well, it is a good idea to
label the poles
with
the same coloured insulation tape and a permanent marker for future reference.

manner from the rear and connect to the other end of Part #8. Repeat for
the other side of the tent (note image to the right).
