Flysheet
1. Spread the flysheet out on the ground
Poles
2. Connect all the pole sections, ensuring that
they slot together correctly.

Poles (silver)
3. Position the roof poles in the centre of the
flysheet with the hub of the “star” over the
apex of the flysheet.
4. Connect the clip at the apex of the flysheet
to the underside of the central hub.
5. Every second roof pole has a pin at the end.
These should be slotted into the
corresponding lugs in the webbing tapes
that are located to the side of, and level
with, the top of the doors (above the logos).
6. Attach all the clips on the upper section of
the flysheet to the roof poles. Proceed with
care, as this procedure is difficult to
accomplish at a later stage.
(note: only the black pole/ clip is shown here)
CORRECT!

7. Ensure that all clips are correctly attached to
their respective poles. (see 6.)
WRONG!
8. Extend the roof poles by attaching the eight
silver pole sections.

9. In the next step, the poles need to be place
under tension. This is easier to do if the tent
is lifted slightly. The best way to do this is for
one person to get underneath the flysheet
and lift the apex.
10. Meanwhile, the other people should slot the
pins at the ends of the poles into the
corresponding lugs in the webbing tapes at
the foot of the flysheet. NOTE: leave the
inner lugs free.
11. Next, attach all the clips to the silver
extension poles.
Poles (black)
12. The black poles are now slid into position
alongside the seam, starting from a webbing
tape into which a pole end has already been
slotted. The correct positioning is behind the
silver poles and above the attached clips. The
black poles cross over each other at the
second (unattached) clip.

13. Next, slot the pins at the ends of the poles
into the inner lugs on the webbing tape
(next to the lugs to which the silver poles are
already attached).
14. Attach the clips along the seam to the black
poles.
Poles for entrances (silver)
15. Slot the pins at the ends of the entrance
poles into the corresponding lugs on the
webbing tape of the second clip on the silver
pole.
16. Attach the middle clip on the pole to the
corresponding lug in the middle of the porch
roof. Then attach the two other black clips to
the pole.
Pegs
17. Secure the webbing tapes at the ends of the
poles using the pegs provided. The optimum
angle for the pegs is 45°. Next, peg down
the remaining tapes on the lower edge of
the flysheet.
5

Guy lines
18. The guy lines are each attached to a
webbing tape. Wrap the tape around both
poles (silver and black) and peg out the guy
line in line with the silver pole.
6

Groundsheet
19. Spread the groundsheet out inside the tent
and attach it to the flysheet using the
buckles in the lower corners. Ensure that the
opening in the middle of the groundsheet is
the right way up, with the drawcord closure
mechanism pointing upwards.
Inner cabins
20. The two inner cabins can be assembled in
different positions, according to the
prevailing weather conditions and wind
direction (i.e. with the entrances facing
downwind). To assemble the inner cabins,
attach the apex point of the cabins to the
red webbing tape that hangs from the inside
of the flysheet. Then position the cabins
where you want them and fasten all the
remaining buckles.
7

21. The two corners of the inner cabins closest to
the middle of the tent can be fixed in
position using a peg in the opening in the
groundsheet. The drawcord can then be
pulled shut to close the opening.
…nearly done ….
…Enjoy! 
