FAQs
How many people can realistically fit in this tent?
The tent is designed to accommodate four people comfortably, though gear storage should be considered if you are using maximum capacity.
Can this tent be used in the rain?
It is equipped with a top fly to handle light rain, but it is primarily designed for fair-weather summer camping.
How do I clean the tent fabric?
Simply use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the water-resistant coating.
Are the stakes and ropes included?
Yes, the tent comes as a complete package including a top fly, guy ropes, pegs, and a carry bag.
What is the peak height of the tent?
The tent has a peak height of 160cm, providing ample room for moving around inside.
Troubleshooting
Quick-release joints feel stiff or stuck
Check for sand or dirt in the hinge points. Gently wipe them clean and ensure the fabric is not caught in the joint mechanism.
Tent feels unstable in light wind
Ensure all guy ropes are properly tensioned and that the tent is pegged into the ground at all designated anchor points.
Water pooling on the top fly
Adjust the tension on the guy ropes to ensure the fly is taut and positioned correctly to allow water runoff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your tent, ensure you have cleared a flat, debris-free area of 280 x 280cm. Simply unfold the frame, lock the quick-release joints into position, and secure the base with the provided pegs. Finally, drape the top fly over the frame and tension it using the guy ropes for stability.
Care Instructions:
- Always allow the tent to dry completely before packing it into the carry bag to prevent mold and mildew growth.
- Clean the fabric using a soft cloth and mild, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could damage the polyester coating.
- Regularly check the steel frame joints for debris to ensure the quick-release mechanism continues to operate smoothly.
