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 and functional, and step 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 tent 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 are 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 and 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.
To set up the Pamo Valley Tent:
Step 1. Unpack the tent & lay out with the floor (black) fabric facing down, on a flat level site.
Step 2. Locate the four lower corner webbing straps with the grommets. Stretch the tent so that is square and stake down the floor corners using the enclosed ground stakes.
Step 3. Unfold and assemble the 8 main poles. Be sure sections are fully engaged - this is very important!
Step 4. Locate the 2 mesh pole sleeves sewn into the mesh roof. The sleeves cross at the center of the roof.
Step 5. Insert the 2 long "arch" poles through the continuous pole sleeves.
Step 6. 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.
Step 7. With 2-people, simultaneously lift any 2 adjacent corner poles & seat the bottom pole tips into grommets on lower corner webbing straps - use inside grommets. Repeat this at the other 2 corners.
Step 8. Once the tent is erect, it can be repositioned & the floor re-staked to smooth out wrinkles.
Step 9. As a measure of safety, the use of guy-lines is Highly Recommended in any weather conditions, to ensure proper tent performance in windy conditions.
*Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun! UV damage is considered normal wear and tear, and is not covered by your lifetime warranty.
