1. Select a dry, level site and clear
the ground of any sharp objects.
Remove the tent from its carry
bag, untie fabric ties and unroll
the tent.
2. Spread out the floor of the inner
tent and peg out the four main
corners. Ensure that the tent is
pulled taut and square. Proceed
to peg out the remaining pegging
points. Unzip and open the doors
to make erecting the tent easier.
Pitch the tent so it is in line with
the wind, never side on.
3. Open the pole bag and assemble
the poles grouping them by
colour.
4. Take the two YELLOW fibreglass
roof poles and feed them through
the pole sleeves to create an ‘X’
over the roof of the inner tent.
Key:
YFR = Yellow Fibreglass Roof
GFR = Green Fibreglass Roof
WSR = White Steel Roof
To make sure the tent stays in place,
insert the pegs into the ground at a
45° angle.

PITCHING INSTRUCTIONS
PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pack the poles and pegs into their bags, place into their separate
frame bag. Evenly lay out the fly inside the tent inner (this is best done
when the inner is still pitched) leaving all doors and windows open.
Replace the provided knuckle covers to protect the tent inner. Fold the
tent as shown below, forcing all of the air out the front door. Roll into
the tent bag provided.
Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away and
store it in a dry environment.
5. Take the GREEN fibreglass roof pole and feed it through the
pole sleeve over the YELLOW poles.
6. Insert the two WHITE curved steel roof poles into the corner
quad knuckles at the front and back of the tent. Note: Make
sure metal pin locks into slot on knuckle, you may have to
twist pole from side to side. Attach the speed-clips.
7. Take the four BLACK steel roof poles
and one at a time lock them into the quad
knuckles on each side of the roof of the
tent. Attach the speed-clips.
8. Once all the steel roof poles are inserted
into the knuckles proceed to insert the
YELLOW fibreglass roof poles into the corner quad knuckles.
Attach the speed-clips.
9. Take the four YELLOW steel leg poles
and insert them into the remaining
knuckle openings on the four corners.
This will take 2 people to assemble. It is
recommended to erect adjacent corners.
Fit the bottom of each pole onto the
corresponding pin at the base of the
inner so that the tent now stands. Attach
the speed-clips.
10. Take the remaining two GREEN steel leg poles and insert
into the centre knuckle. Fit the bottom of each pole onto the
corresponding pin and attach the speed-clips. The inner tent
is now pitched.
11. Carefully pull the fly over the inner making sure the windows
and doors line up. Attach the ties on the underside of the fly
around the frame. This will secure the fly and help the tent
to perform better in the wind. Once the fly is secure, zip the
doors up and peg out the fly ensuring there is an adequate
gap between the inner and the fly.
12. Finally, rope out the guy ropes and fine tune the fly so it
remains taut and positioned correctly over the tent.
13. When pegging out the black PORCH poles, make sure the
ropes are at a 45° angle to ensure adequate tension. When
raining, remove the centre pole or adjust the pole height to allow
water build-up to run off. Zip-out the gussets for added weather
protection.
14. Please read the care instructions for more product information
about your tent.

TENT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE TENT CARE INFORMATION
AND INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THIS TENT BEFORE
USING YOUR TENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
1. Before you use your new tent, fully unpack and pitch it at home.
It is important to familiarise yourself with the set up procedure and
the various features.
2. Select a site that is level, clear of any sharp objects, is dry, will
drain well if it rains and is protected from wind and other elements.
3. Keep clear of overhead power lines and trees when setting up your
tent.
4. For best and easiest results, enlist the help of at least one other
person to assist in pitching the tent.
5. Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent fabric. Do not
use open flame or gas appliances in or near your tent.
6. Do not use aerosol sprays or any solvent based products in or
around your tent as these could damage the fabric or special
coatings. These products include but are not limited to: repellent
spray, hair sprays, alcohol, detergents, fly spray, petrol, kerosene
etc.
7. Please note, the warranty on this tent will be deemed void if
the product is used for any purpose other than a temporary,
recreational use shelter.
8. Handle the tent poles carefully. When unfolding and folding the
tent poles, do not allow the shock cord to pull and snap the ends
together. This can damage the poles ends and result in breakage
when the pole is tensioned.
9. Especially in windy conditions, it is essential that you attach guy
ropes and fasten them to the ground. We suggest you insert the
pegs into the ground at a 45° angle towards the tent, not straight
down. Please note, your tent will nor be covered under warranty
if wind damage occurs.
10. Use all of the guy ropes and pegs included to ensure your tent
is secure and to prevent damage to both yourself and the tent.
Check guy ropes/pegs daily.
11. Ensure there is an adequate gap between the fly and inner tent
to enable ventilation and to prevent condensation build up.
12. Hold the flaps up, when closing the doors, to take pressure off
the zips. Ensure that the tent fabric is never over stretched,
especially as this may cause problems with the internal doors.
13. To clean your tent, only ever use a soft sponge and warm water.
DO NOT use excess force or other harsh cleaners to remove
marks from tent.
14. Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before storing away
and ensure to store it in a dry environment.
IMPORTANT:
1. Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity etc.)
condensation may form on the inside of your tent fly.
Condensation can occur for many reasons including vapour from
your breath, perspiration, cooking nearby or wet clothing inside
your tent. This does NOT mean your tent is leaking through the
fabric. You can minimise condensation by opening windows
and airing out your tent during the day and by removing any wet
clothing/towels etc.
2. Try to avoid pitching your tent under trees as tree limbs, falling
leaves, sap, bird droppings or excess water dripping from
the trees can cause damage to the tent fabric and its special
coatings resulting in leakage or discolouration.
