STEP 6: To raise the tent, one person should go to each of the front corners of the
tent. Flex the fiberglass poles into an upward position, forming two arches and place
the ferrules at the ends of the poles onto the pin located at corners of the tent.
STEP 2: Stake tent to the ground by inserting metal stakes through
the rings located at each tent corner. Hammer the stakes into the
ground at a 45°, making sure to pull tent floor out even and tight.
Continue to stake down all intermediate stake loops.
STEP 3: Extend each fiberglass pole by pulling out
each section and placing the ends of the pole sections
into the metal connecting ferrules. The four longest poles
(A) are the main “X” poles, for each end of the tent.
The Next longest pole is the center hoop pole (B). The
two longer remaining poles are the front and back hoop
poles (C) The two shortest (D) poles are for the door
awnings on the fly.
STEP 4: While making sure the sleeves are in line with
each other, slide each main poles (A) through the green
sleeves that are opposite each other on the roof of the
tent. Straighten the sleeves along the fiberglass sections.
Position the poles so that they form an “X” at each end
of the tent. Be sure that the poles go through the loops
at top of the tent where the poles cross.
STEP 5: Go to the middle of the tent and place the ends of the
4 main poles onto the pins located on the ring.
STEP 7: Clip the plastic hooks to the fiberglass frame poles.
STEP 8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for at the other end of the tent.
STEP 9: Locate the longer remaining fiberglass pole (B) with the white
tape at the end. Insert the pole through the off white pole sleeve at the
middle of the tent. With an adult on each end of the pole, gently flex
the pole into an arch and place the ferrules at the end of the pole
onto the pin at the base of the tent. Clip the plastic hooks to the pole.
STEP 10: Locate the front and back hoop poles (C) with the Yellow tape at the
ends. Insert one of the poles through the tan pole sleeve above the door at one
end of the tent. With an adult on each end of the pole, gently flex the pole into
an arch and place the ferrules at the end of the pole onto the pin at the base of
the tent. Clip the plastic hooks to the pole. Repeat at the other end of the tent.
STEP 9: Unfold fly and place over tent so the tan pole sleeves are
located over the two doors. Attach the fly to the tent by hooking the
S-hooks located at the edges of the fly to the rings at the base of the tent.
STEP 10: Fasten the Velcro and fabric ties on the underside
of the fly to the fiberglass poles at all locations.
STEP 11: Insert the fly pole (D) into the sleeve at the edge fly
awning, over the door. Flex the fly pole and insert each end
into the reinforced metal grommets located on either side of
the front door. Repeat at the other end of the tent
STEP 12: Guy ropes have been provided for the tent. Extend
each of the guy ropes and make a loop at the opposite end
by using the slider (as shown). Place the loop over tent stake
and stake to the ground. Adjust the slider to make guy rope tight.

NOTE: To take down tent, follow steps above in the reverse order. Be sure to
leave doors and windows unzipped. Place stakes into stake bag and poles
into pole bag, which are provided. The tent should be folded into equal parts
toward the center of the tent to distribute the bulk. Fold fly and lay on top of
tent. Start a small tight roll, the width of your carry bag, at the end opposite
the doors. Roll tent toward doors to allow air to escape. Once rolled, tie a
string or rope around tent to hold into place. Place tent and stake bag into
