SOLOIST
PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Soloist can be pitched inner or outer rst. The easiest and
most effective method is inner pitch rst. If you have a
footprint now is the time to peg it out. Ensure the ground is
free from sharp objects and rocks. In windy conditions it is
best to pitch Soloist inline with the wind.
2. Lay out the inner to line up with the footprint and peg out
the four corners until a suitable tension.
3. Assemble all of the poles and insert the pole tips into the
four corner eyelets on both the inner and groundsheet.
The poles should bend upwards when pitching the last two
sections to create the tent shape. [Fig 1]
4. Using the pole clips, attach the inner canopy to the poles.
[Fig 2]
5. Unpack the ysheet and place over the top of the inner
canopy. Use the velcro tabs to ensure a secure t in windy
conditions. Insert the pole ends into the ysheet corner
eyelets.

◉Do not cook in your tent.
◉Do not place hot appliances close to the walls or roof of your
tent, observe safety warnings for any appliances and do not

6. Tension the ysheet by adjusting the webbing lock at
the peg out points. For extra security loop the excess
webbing through the top hook to prevent slipping in windy
conditions. [Fig 3]
7. Peg out the tent, starting from the back two corners
moving forwards to the porch.
8. Adjust the guy lines to create space between the inner and
ysheet for greater ventilation and reduce condensation
build up. [Fig 4]
