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 taught). 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 in order as per the frame part assembly 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 & #4) for the centre ridge pole and insert
through the centre ridge pole sleeve on the roof of
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.

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 side 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 pole.

• 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.
