1. Select a dry, level site and
clear the ground of any sharp
objects. Remove the tent from
its carry bag, untie fabric ties
and unroll the tent.
2. Open pole bag and remove
the pegs and two GREY, one
RED and two BLACK fibreglass
poles. Assemble these poles
now.
3. Spread out the floor of the inner
tent and peg out the four main
corners first, ensuring that the
tent is pulled taut and square.
Unzip and open the doors to
make erecting the tent easier.
Pitch the inner so it is in line
with the wind, never side on.
4. Lay out the poles to match the
coloured trim on the power

sleeves in the middle room.
Fit into the pin and rings fitting on the floor and assemble the
room (this will take 2 people). The main room is now up.
5. Moving back to front repeat this for
the three remaining poles. Your
inner is now erected.
6. Making sure the tent is sitting
evenly, attach the speed-clips onto
the corresponding poles and peg
out the remaining pegging points
on the inner.

8. Peg out at an angle the ventilation ports on each side of the tent.
9. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the fly so it remains
taut and positioned correctly over the tent.
10. When pegging out the steel PORCH poles, make sure the ropes
are at a 45° angle to pull the flap evenly. In light rain you can
remove the middle section to allow any water build up to run off.
In heavy rain you may have to pull the flap down to stop water
build up.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS

After you have removed the fly, lay it flat inside the tent. This
makes it easier to fold the tent. Pack the poles and pegs into their
bags. When folding the tent inner leave all doors and windows
open. Fold the inner tent floor from each side to the centre and in
half again. Adjust to the length of the poles. Place the poles onto
the floor and roll them inside so that the floor is on the outside.
Store and pack the tent in it's bag.
