• Move back to where you started at the opposite side of
the shelter. With the pole in one hand and web/grommet in
the other, feed the pole up. Take care that the ferrules do
not get caught on the sleeves. Push the pole evenly along
its length to create an arc. Place the post end of the pole
into the grommet to maintain tension across the top of the
shelter. See fig.3.
• Your shelter is now freestanding. Move it to the desired
location and secure. Since soil conditions vary greatly, we
have included two methods to secure the shelter:
1. On sand. Fill the four bags with sand and tie them to
the four corner webs. Pull the bags out and away from the
shelter until the floor is taut. Bury the bags in the sand.
2. On turf. Drive a stake through the grommet on a
corner web. Work your way around the shelter, squaring
and staking the base as you go.

• Where soil conditions permit and
when winds prevail, we recommend
that you attach the guy out cords

and stake them out. Use the
sliders on the cords to adjust
tension. See fig.6.
