YUKON BELL TENT INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING TIPS

• One person can set up the Yukon bell tent, but it helps to have two
people.
• Even though you can zip the floor apart from the tent, we recommend
keeping them attached and only unzipping when you need a breeze or when
trying to cut down weight for hauling the tent. The tent is much faster to
set up and take down with the floor attached.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lay the tent out in a flat area large enough to allow for the diameter of
your tent (13', 16', or 20') plus an additional 6 feet on all sides for the ropes.
2. Using the small pegs, pull the groundsheet tight, and stake down the floor.
3. Take the main straight pole through the door, find the center of the cone,
and push the pole and tent up until it is vertical.
4. Attach all the ropes to the tent and, without putting too much tension at this
time, stake down the tent with the larger stakes.
a. There will be one rope longer than the others. This is for the door. Wait
until after step 5 to attach it to the door.
b. TIP: To help keep the tent centered, it is best to stake down ropes on
opposites sides of each other, working your way around the tent.
