ASSEMBLY:
•Unroll and unfold the shelter and lay it on the ground with the windows facing up.
•Assemble the shockcorded poles. Try to prevent pole sections from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends. Make certain each insert has seated firmly into each plain end.
See fig. 1.
fig.1
•Slide the long pole through the sleeve, across the top of the tent. Push the pole, don’t pull it. Continue until you reach
the grommet on other side of the tent. Insert the post
at the end of the pole into | fig.2 |
this grommet. See fig.2. |
|
•Move back to where you started at the opposite side of the shelter. With the pole in one hand and web/grommet in the other, feed the pole up. Take care that the ferrules do not get caught on the sleeves. Push the pole evenly along its length to create an arc. Place the post end of the pole into the grommet to maintain tension across the top of the shelter. See fig.3.

•Lift the top of the shelter. Push one of the short poles through a sleeve and down to a web/grommet at the base. At the top of the shelter, insert the post into the grommet. Repeat with the second pole into the last sleeve.
•Move to the base of the shelter. With a pole in one hand and web/grommet in the other, push the pole evenly along its length to create an arc. Place the post end into the grommet to maintain tension across the fabric. Repeat with the second pole. See fig.4.

•Your shelter is now freestanding. Move it to the desired location and secure. Since soil conditions vary greatly, we have included two methods to secure the shelter:
1.On sand. Fill the four bags with sand and tie them to the four corner webs. Pull the bags out and away from the shelter until the floor is taut. Bury the bags in the sand.
2.On turf. Drive a stake through the grommet on a corner web. Work your way around the shelter, squaring and staking the base as you go.
See fig.5.

Your Shelter is ready!
• Where soil conditions permit and when winds prevail, we recommend that you attach the guy out cords to the four loops on the sleeves and stake them out. Use the sliders on the cords to adjust tension. See fig.6.
• Take down: Open door, untie | fig.6 | |
sand bags or pull up stakes. Pull | ||

posts out of the grommets and push poles out of the sleeves. Collapse the poles and stow. Fold the shelter onto itself in thirds. Roll up towards the door and stow.
