Orange Bag Straps

The tent bag should have a couple orange straps around it. These make it a bit easier to carry the tent around. The fastener has a push button release to loosen the strap, and they can be tightened just by tugging the strap tight.

Don’t completely unfasten the straps. Just loosen them enough so that you can slide the straps up over the top.

Extend the center pole before you raise the tent more or it will be out of reach.

Add Sandbag Weights to Each Leg

(single strap style)

This is an important step. Tents blowing around a farmers market are dangerous and result in us not being invited back

This style of sandbag has a single strap. Fasten the small lower velcro section to the pole. Then start by threading the strap between the bag and pole, and then wrap the strap around the pole a couple times so that it is snug to the pole.

Add Sandbag Weights to Each Leg

(double strap style)

This is an important step. Tents blowing around a farmers market are dangerous and result in us not being invited back

This style of sandbag has two straps. Orient the side with writing against the pole. Make sure the bag is snug against the pole and then fasten the two straps around the bag and pole.

Tear Down - unvelcro & unclip

Undo the velcro straps on each side. If you forget this you’ll end up trying to compress the tent unsuccessfully while fighting against the velcro straps

Pull the upper pin on each leg and pull sliding bracket down a little bit. Working the legs inward just a little bit will help keep it from snapping back into place.
