Read completely before attempting to set up the Perry Mesa
SET-UP----Your tent can be easily set-up in 5 minutes or less by two people, if you follow the basic sequence detailed below. If time allows, we would recommend that you read through these instructions in their entirety and do a practice set-up at home before taking the tent into the wilderness. Then you can be sure all components are present & functional, and proceed through the set-up sequence at a leisurely pace to learn the most efficient techniques.
TAKE DOWN --- For the take down, simply reverse the set-up sequence.
LONG TERM STORAGE --- Your Perry Mesa is more likely to be damaged by mold, mildew or bacteria during storage than by elements while set up and in use. Make sure that all food or other organic material is removed and that your tent is thoroughly dry before packing into the stuff bag. If you have to pack up and leave the campsite while your tent is damp, set it up later at home & allow it to dry thoroughly for long-term storage.
ALUMINUM POLES --- Take care in handling the poles during set-up and take down when they are most vulnerable to accidental damage. The poles, especially the long "arch poles", will take a slight bend or "set" after use. This is normal and does not impair their function. Never use the poles for anything other than to support the tent.
Unpack the tent & lay it out with the mesh top facing up on a level site on the ground.
Locate the lower corner webbing with the grommets and stretch the four corners so the tent lays flat on the ground.
Unfold and assemble the 8 poles. Be sure sections are fully engaged. This is very important.
Locate the 2 mesh pole sleeves sewn into the roof. The sleeves cross at the center of the roof.
Insert the 2 long "arch" poles through the continuous pole sleeves.
With the tent remaining on the ground, engage the elbow-end of the vertical corner poles into the ends of the "arch" poles at 4 corners. Be sure sections are fully engaged.
With 2 people, simultaneously lift any 2 adjacent corner poles and slide fabric over the bend in the corner, then seat pole tips into floor corner grommets, use the inside grommets. Repeat this at the other 2 corners.
Once the tent is erect, it can be repositioned & the corners staked out to smooth out the wrinkles.
Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun! UV damage is considered normal wear and tear, and is not covered by your lifetime warranty.
