Setting up the Tent Body
- Spread the tent body out, floor side down. Locate the yellow webbing stake out loop, as this marks the right front corner of the tent. Also locate the black plastic elbow hub & grey fabric roof pole sleeves which cross in the top center of the tent body.
- Assemble the two bright orange aluminum roof poles
- Starting at the corner with the yellow webbing slake out loop, follow the sewn seam past the plastic hub and insert one of the poles into the grey fabric pole sleeve. Continue sliding the pole through the sleeve until it reaches the black plastic hub at the opposite corner. Insert the pole end into the hub opening which has internal ribs. (NOTE: the other hub opening is smooth & is used for the larger diameter leg poles.) Repeat process with the second pole & sleeve. Correctly threaded, the poles will make a large X shape, crossing in the middle of the tent.
- Assemble the four leg poles & place one at each corner of the tent.
- Starting at the yellow webbing stake out loop, insert the open end of the leg pole into the smooth opening of the black plastic hub. Raising the pole & hub, reach down and insert the tip of the pole into the outer-most grommet (metal ring) on yellow webbing stake out loop. Moving to another corner, repeat process with second pole, then a third, & lastly the fourth. Your tent will now be standing.
- Walk around the lent and connect all of the black plastic clips to their respective poles.
-
Secure the tent to the ground using the stakes provided. Start at the yellow webbing stake out loop, next proceed to the diagonally opposite corner. While firmly pulling on the black webbing stake out loop, hammer in the stake. Repeat process with the other two corners. Now stake the middle stakeout loops along the sides and back (Silver Canyon 6).
-
The tent body will now be erect, properly tensioned, and secured to the ground.
Attaching the Fly Sheet
- Unfold the fly & drape it over the tent matching the yellow webbing on the fly with the yellow webbing on the tent body. Align and center the fly on the tent body so the fly's seams follow the tent body's poles.
- Locate the bright orange triangular wing at the upper corners of the fly. Raaching under the wing, wrap the hook/loop closure around the underlying pole below the black plastic hub to secure the fly to the pole. Farther down the pole & fly is another the hook/loop closure located underneath the reflective webbing guyout point. Also wrap this hook/loop closure around the pole to secure the fly to the pole. At the bottom edge of the fly, clip together the side-release buckle securing the fly to the stakeout loop.
- Repeat wrapping the hook/loop closures around all of the three remaining leg poles and clipping together the side-release buckles to secure the fly to the tent's pole structure.
- Walk around the tent & equally tension all four corner webbings by pulling the webbing through the buckle to tension the fly.
- Securing the Front Vestibule: At the front of the tent, locate the four black webbing stake-out loops. Starting with the outermost loops, pull equal tension on each loop & secure each loop with a stake. During inclement weather, stake inner two black webbing loops attached to the vestibule's center panel for extra security.
- Silver Canyon 6 only: Securing the Rear Vestibule: Locate the two black webbing stake-out loops. Pull tension on a loop & secure with a stake. Durning extreme weather, stake the remaining loop for extra security.
- Vectored Side Pullouts: This tent features fly-to-tent body pullouts. At the mid-point on each side of the tent, reach under the fly's edge, slide the black "dog bone" toggle through the "O-Ring" located on the tent body. Attach a provided guyout cord to the small webbing loop. Secure guyout cord with a stake. Repeat process on other side(s) of tent. The Vectored Side Pullouts enhance ventilation, increase the tent's interior living space, and strengthen the overall tent during inclement weather.
- Guyouts: The bright orange triangular wings also contain pockets which store the pre-attached guyout cords. Remove the cord from the pocket & extend it to full length. Secure the guyout cord to the ground with a stake. In high winds, an additional guyout cord can be attached to the reflective black webbing loop halfway up the leg pole. Get in the habit of always using the guyouts even in good weather.
INCREASTS FLOR LEVEL LIGHTING UP TO 1X E!LUMINATE SYSTEM
E!Luminate System:
Increases the brightness of floor-level lighting provided by LED lanterns inside the tent. Two removable triangular silver-reflective EILuminate panels install in the ceiling with O-rings & toggles. The panels reflect a lantern's light downwards to the floor, increasing the brightness of floor-level light up to 3 times. A reinforced webbing hang loop with D-ring securely holds LED lanterns at the tent's peak. An elegant, yet simple & effective solution to brighten the nighttime camping experience. NOTE: Only for use with battery powered LED lanterns.
EUREKA! Media Center:
Watch video on tablets & other small electronic devices from the comfort of your sleeping bag. The clear center panel of the Media Center is touchscreen friendly. The Media Center attaches with hooks to pre-installed O-rings located in each corner of the tent. Also secure the center of the Media Center with the cord & hook to support heavier items. High/Low Viewing: For viewing while laying down use the lower sets of O-rings. For seated-level viewing, suspend the Media Center from the top corner O-rings and the middle O-rings. Always remember to support the middle of the Media Center, using the central cord's 3-hole slider to adjust the tension as needed.
OTHER
Gear Hammock:
The gear hammock attaches with hooks to pre-installed O-rings located in each corner of the tent. Secure the center of the hammock with the cord & hook to support heavier items.
El Power Port:
The zippered E! Power Port allows you to bring an electrical power cord inside the tent.

WARNING:
KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES
AWAY FOM THIS TENTI
This tent meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The Fabric may burn
If continuous contact with any flame source. Do NOT operate any device which
burns fuel inside your tent. This could lead to serious injury or death.
SEAM SEALING:
We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip*.
• Work in a fully ventilated area.
- Set the lent up or lay the lent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the scaler.
- Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing while seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels don't need treatment. There is no need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both floor and the seams and reinforcements.
- Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed scams. Several thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow manufacture's instructions.
STAKING:
All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate.
- Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on property and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you don't stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it's too tight, if the door zippers can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the "J" hook catches it. The piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed.
- Wish the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent connection points and stake down any pull outs.
- Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself.
STAKING IN SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
- Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil.
- Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel stakes separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust stains, which might damage your tent.
- Snow. Use "dead man" anchors. Tie tent to buried objects (branches, tent bags, or stuff sacks filled with snow; or tie tents to snow shoes, skis, or ski poles, which are stuck in the snow.
GUY LINES:
Do not depend upon staking alone to keep your tent secure during high winds. Most tent models have built-in loops or rings at optimal guy out locations. It's important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly done, it can save your tent during exceptional weather.
- Make sure that the top fly is securely attached to the tent frame. Ties, hook and loop, or dog-bones and elastic loops are sewn to the underside of the fly for this purpose.
- Attach parachute cord to the loops/rings and stake them in the ground three or four feet from the edge of the tent. If staked too close to the tent, wind can cause an upward pull that could dislodge the stakes.
- If your tent does not have loops or rings for guy outs, attach guy lines 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up the framework on the main sidewalls. This enables the guy line to support the lower section of the pole, while the upper pole can flex and deflect wind gusts. It is best to run two cords at an angle from the side of the guy out. This prevents all movement, except toward the anchor. The guy lines will work together through opposition. See illustrations.
CONDENSATION & VENTING:
Through perspiration and breathing, an adult gives off about a pint of water overnight. If it cannot escape, the water vapor condenses to liquid. Most often, water found in the tent is a result of this condensation rather than from the tent leaking. Condensation often forms where the sleeping bag touches the side of the tent, under the sleeping pad, or on coated surfaces such as the door flaps. A tent's double wall construction allows the vapor to escape through the roof to the outside, keeping the inside of the tent dry.
Leave the windows partially open at night to provide cross ventilation and further reduce condensation. Cross ventilation becomes more important in very humid or extremely cold conditions when the permeable roof is less effective. The features that enhance ventilation are windows short-sheeted fly (bottom venting), roof vents, and High/Low venting doors. These are specific to each tent model.
Given the importance of proper ventilation, We use High/Low venting in most of our tents. This allows cooler air through the low vents and warmer, moist air up and out through the high vents. High/Low venting is accomplished within the inner tent via roof vents, doors and windows. It is important to vent the vestibule. Unvented, it can inhibit airflow into the tent. Our tent vestibules profit from the ability to "short sheet" by means of zippers & toggles and staked vestibule pull outs create a bellowing effect.
Most of our tents are equipped with a High/Low venting door. This design allows increased airflow into the tent from the bottom. Open the low vent/window to admit cool air, allowing the warmer air out through the high roof vents. When rain and wind prevent the low vent from being opened, the high door vent can still be used. Fly overhangs or vestibules protect it.
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT:
Ultraviolet light damage to tent fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. While our fabrics are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to UV degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle and tear easily. We recommend that you use the rain fly even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if damaged. UV damage can be minimized by erecting tents on shaded sites with low exposure to direct sunlight.
GENERAL POLE CARE:
Never let tent poles snap together as this can damage the pole end. Do not drop tent or pole bags on their ends and do not bounce a tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and damage the pole ends.
The aluminum frame may bend slightly and take a "set" through usage; this normally does not affect the performance of the frame.
GENERAL TENT CARE:
- Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones.
- Try not to wear shoes inside your tent.
- Use a ground cloth whenever possible
- Do not keep food inside a tent. Hungry critters will chew through tent fabric in search of food.
STORAGE:
- Make sure the tent is completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool place. To prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe.
- Ideally, the tent poles should be stored in their fully assembled state. This reduces the tension on the shock cord, prolonging its life.
- The tent bag should be used only as a carry sack and not for storage.
COLOR TRANSFER
Do to the nature of tent fabrics, color can transfer from darker to lighter fabrics when the two fabrics are in contact over time when wet, damp or exposed to the combination of moisture and high heat. This does not effect the tent's performance. To prevent / minimize color transfer, always make sure your tent is completely dry prior to packing and storage.
CLEANING:
Clean the tent by setting it up and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand soap) and lukewarm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Never use detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage the tent's protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such as the seams, before storing or mold / mildew are likely to grow.
- Clean the tent poles with a cloth and lubricate them with silicone spray. This is especially necessary after ocean side camping to remove salt spray so the poles don't corrode or stay gritty.
Clean the zippers with a quick dip in water and then dry them of. This is especially important if you've been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If you don't clean the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth will become inoperable.
