SELECTING A SITE
Choose a site that is level, clear of sharp stones and other debris,
is sheltered from the wind, and will drain when it rains. You may
wish to face your tent south or east to catch the morning sun. Do
not pitch your tent under trees, in water drainages, or on ridge
tops.
ASSEMBLING THE POLES
Unfold the tent body and lay it flat on the ground with the door
unzipped. Unfold the shock-corded tent poles so they spring
together gently. Make sure that each insert from each pole
section is fully engaged into the next pole section, otherwise
you will damage the tubing
(
Figure 1
).

Spread the tent out evenly (Figure 2). In the illustration,
the dotted lines represent the five long purple poles and the

all grommet tabs to the same length.
