FAST FLY SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
If you purchase the optional Big Agnes footprint for any of our models, it will enable you to pitch a Fast Fly shelter while leaving the tent body behind. The Fast Fly configuration requires the footprint, tent fly, poles and stakes.
1.Lay the foot print on the ground and stake out.
2.Assemble hub/pole and insert pole tips into grommets on foot print, matching the longer pole sections from the hub with the front of the tent where the vestibule will be. SH3: Also has a single vestibule pole. The short cross pole will not be used.

5.Stake out all corners and guy lines for optimum stability, space and ventilation. SH3: For maximum headroom and to keep fly tight, stake out upper guy lines on side of tent
HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP
•Our tents are easy to set up but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
•Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.
•Big Agnes tents are all freestanding, but we recommend staking them out to increase space and keep your tent from becoming a tumbleweed.
•Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.
•Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.
•Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
