Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step 1

Find a smooth, flat camping site and spread out the fabric body of your tent.

Step 2

Fully extend the main tent poles (there are three black main tent poles of equal length) for your Greatland two-room tent by unfolding them and gently pulling them apart at the fold lines so that the cords inside them snap together and hold them straight. Slide one of the extended tent poles through one of the tent's center sleeves. Insert the end of the pole into one of the openings on the tent's three-way center hub. Repeat this process two more times, once for each main tent pole.

Step 3

Bend the main tent poles so that they arch, and fit the loose ends into the pin-rings located at the base of the tent. Use the clips attached to the tent fabric to snap the tent poles to the tent body.

Step 4

Unfold and straighten the side tent poles (there are two black side tent poles of equal length) and the front screen tent pole which is blue. Insert the side tent poles into the side pole sleeves and secure their ends in the pin-rings at the tent base.

Step 5

Insert the front screen room tent pole in the front pole sleeve and secure the end into the pin-ring at the tent base. Use the clips attached to the tent fabric to clip the tent poles to the tent body and screen.

Step 6

Drive down stakes through each pin-ring and webbing loop around the tent base.

Step 7

Drape the rainfly over your Greatland two-room tent. Secure every S-hook to its corresponding fabric loop or pin-ring. Fasten the rainfly to your Greatland tent by wrapping the nylon fasteners on the bottom of the rainfly around the tent poles.

Step 8

Install the room divider curtain by pushing the toggles found on the edge of the fabric room diver curtain through the fabric loops on the inside of the tent.

Step 9

Locate the first of six guy lines and pull the piece of line on the opposite side of the knot to form a loop. Drive a stake through the loop to secure the guy line to the ground and repeat the process for each of the remaining five guy lines.

Tips & Warnings

Unzip the windows and doors before disassembling your tent to make it easier to fold.

You will need two people to assemble your Greatland two-room tent.
