Select a dry, level area and clear the ground of any
sharp or dangerous objects.
Where possible select a sheltered camp site protected
from the wind and one that will not allow water to pond
under the tent floor in the event of rain.
Lay out the tent with doors facing in the desired
direction. Open all doors and windows in the tent to
allow air inside when erecting the tent.
WARNING - Failing to open doors and windows will
put excessive stress on the fabric and seams as the
tent is raised and may cause damage.
• Peg out the four corners of the tent, ensuring that
the tent is pulled out firm and square (be careful
not to make it too taut). Peg out the remaining peg
points inserting pegs on a 45 degree angle.

• Remove all of the frame parts from the bag and lay
out as per the frame part diagram. Join appropriate
tent pole sections together ensuring each section is
firmly secured into the next.
• Install the centre ridge pole. Select the frame
(parts #3a, #18, #17 and #4) for the centre ridge
pole and insert through the centre ridge pole sleeve
on the tent, ensuring the front pole #3A is correctly
fitted through the webbing loop and pole sock, and
the rear pole #4 is fitted through the webbing strap
attached to the tent.

and insert through the centre ridge pole sleeve

WARNING - Do not force poles through the sleeves
as this may damage the sleeve. Check to ensure
the pole does not snag when sliding it through the
sleeve.
• Install the support legs. Select the 4 assembled
side support legs, (4 x part #2 and 4 x part #1) and
insert these into the side ridge poles already fitted to
the tent. The gussets are then clipped to the already
fitted ridge poles.
• With the help of another person, lift one side of the
tent until the side wall is fully upright and push the
bottom of the support leg against the ground to
hold in place. Repeat this for the other side of the
tent. The tent should now be supported by the four
upright support legs.
• Fold the front porch back over the cabin of the tent
and fit the front porch spreader bar #7 to the ridge
pole #3A.
