Use
It is important to read these instructions carefully before taking the Tent on your
first trip.
Preparation
oBefore using the Burro Ridge Tipi Tent on its first camping trip, it is
recommended for all users to assemble this tent at home to familiarize
yourself with the assembly process. Make sure all the components of
your tent are present and in working order.
oIt is recommended to season the canvas fabric used for the Tent walls. To
do this, spray the assembled tent lightly with water and allow it to dry
completely. This allows the cotton to naturally seal any small holes in the
fabric. This process is only required once.
oAdditional waterproofing of the canvas is recommended after seasoning.
While our tents are made with a canvas material that naturally repels
water, it is recommended that all users regularly lightly treat the tent
with a SILICONE based waterproofing compound. Other types of
waterproofing compounds may affect the breathability of the canvas
material.

Assembly
Step 1
oLoosely spread the tent fabric on the floor. Although our heavy-duty tent
floor is designed to resist punctures and tears, a groundsheet is
recommended for longevity. Select a site where water will not flow
towards the tent.
oRemove the 4 steel tent poles from the tent storage bag. Assemble each
tent pole by sliding the ends of each section together.
oInsert the tent poles into the pole sleeves located at all four corners of
the tent. This step is most easily done before fully spreading the tent’s
footprint.
oLocate the four metal ring rods attached to each corner of the tent.
Insert each ring rod into the holes located at the bottom of the tent
poles.
Step 2
oCarefully raise the tent into a standing position.
oSlowly pull the poles away from each other. This will stretch out the
connecting fabric wall of the tent.
oOnce loosely opened, it may be helpful to stake down one corner of the
tent before fully spreading the poles apart.
oContinue to expand the tent until the wall fabric is tight.
Step 3
oStake down each corner of the tent.
oTighten the bottom straps located on each corner of the tent floor.
oMake sure to create adequate ventilation inside the tent by opening the
top ventilation flaps and secure them in place with the supports.
Step 4
ENJOY!

Storing the Tent
Step 1
oEmpty all belongings out of the tent.
oClean out the interior of the tent by sweeping out any dirt or debris.
oAllow the tent fabric to dry completely if humidity has built up inside, or if
it has rained.
oIf you must pack the tent wet, be sure to allow it to dry once you have
returned home.
Step 2
oRemove ground stakes.
oMove each tent pole towards each other and slowly collapse the tent
inwards.
oCarefully tilt the tent and lay it on the ground.
Step 3
oRemove each ring rod from the bottom of each tent pole.
oRemove each tent pole from its corresponding sleeve.
oBreak down the poles to their individual sections
Step 4
oCarefully fold and roll up the tent. This is best done by laying the square
floor of the tent down and folding inwards from the corners.
oStore the tent and tent poles in their respective bags.
Use and Care
oWhile the Burro Ridge Tipi Tent is built with durability and longevity in
mind, please be sure to occasionally use a damp rag and wipe the tent
fabric clean.
oWhile the canvas material is naturally breathable, condensation could
still build up inside the tent. Condensation can be reduced by allowing air
ventilation. Tents should be allowed to dry completely before storage. If
a tent must be stored while wet, loosely roll the tent for transport and
then immediately unroll and set up after transport to dry thoroughly
before long-term storage. Failure to do so could cause rot or mildew in
the canvas material.

oKeep tent fabric away from sharp objects such as rough stones and
rocks, thorns, metal edges, etc.
oKeep zippers free from dirt and excessive force in order to prolong zipper
life.
oA groundsheet underneath your tent is recommended to maximize the
life of your tent’s floor.
oWe do not recommend spraying insecticides or bug repellant directly
onto the tent fabric. If you must do so (we fully understand), use a fabric-
safe repellant such as Picaridin, not DEET.
