The little metal pegs on the rings where the poles go actually goes in the bottom of the pole. You don't need a peg to keep the pole from sliding. Pole doesn't go in the ring
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for making this video! Super helpful. First time set up took only about 30 minutes because of your tips.
Thanks for watching. I am glad it helped.
Great video!!!!!!!! Thank you so much 🤜🤛
Thanks for watching.
Bought 20 heavy duty stakes and 100' of that pink parachord for my tent. Thanks.
Nice. Good luck with your camping.
Great video. Thanks!!!
Thanks. I just posted an update on this tent.
Nice video thx.
I chose this tent because it was the only one with a screen room that could be secured against the rain.
Years ago I had a canvas tent with an open screen room, no floor because if it rained you would not want a floor to catch and hold the water. I really liked that screen room but wanted one I could close up in case of rain. So this was just what I wanted.
I have put this tent up several times all by myself with very little effort. I'm 75 and have some stiff joints so younger, healthy people should have no trouble.
The first thing I recommend with any tent is buy good stakes.
The little pin like stakes are no good in a windy, rainy situation.
The plastic stakes can break if you encounter a rock.
I bought some sturdy stakes at a farm implement store that are at least 1/4 inch think, about thick as a good ball point pen. They were at least 8 inches long. If they won't fit in the tent bag, get a sturdy bag for just the stakes and fasten it to the outside of the tent bag.
I did not like the way it moved around with gusty winds that came and went.
So, I added more guy ropes to every pole. That really stabilized it. You could probably just tie ropes above the clip where the factory elastic strap of the rain fly fastens. I chose to drill a hole in the metal pipe where I tied a loop of sturdy rope and then tied off two more guy ropes so they made an A stretching out from the tent. It was much sturdier after that. You could do that to any tent I would think.
I really appreciate the big windows for the ventilation. You can leave the rain fly off in good weather if you like, it ventilates even better that way. I camped in weather that dropped to 45 overnight, a small electric heater kept the humidity out and the tent stayed at about 60 degrees. In Wisconsin the humidity makes everything damp and it feels a lot colder than the temperature would suggest. I hate having everything damp in the morning.
With all tents I recommend a treatment with Dry Guy or Nikwax. Both are very good at waterproofing a tent. Concentrate on the seams. I work it in with a paint brush. After all, they punch thousands of holes in the fabric when they sew it up, it is unreasonable to expect it to be water tight.
Use a good thick tarp underneath to protect the floor from anything that might poke a hole in it. I use a tarp bigger than the tent floor and roll it toward the tent so it causes a bump that outside water has to climb over before it can get under the tent floor.
Putting the tent back in the bag takes some work. I had to roll it really slow and lay on it in steps as I rolled to get the air out. Otherwise it would not fit in the bag. I suspect the factory hires a 500 pound gorilla to pack those tents in the bag.
For the rain fly, I start by fastening the awning to the front poles. That prevents the fly from slipping off. The slightest breeze will send it slipping away. I pull a guy rope and coax the fly up and over the large room. When you are working alone you have to use every angle. You could tie a thick rope to a guy rope and toss it over the big room, I have done that when it was really windy.
This tent is so roomy and the screen area is a perfect place to relax with the screens open on a nice day. I"m thinking I should buy another one and keep it in storage for the day when the current one is no longer usable.
Excuse me ^_^
This tent have any zippers that allow the wires to pass through ??
There are no factory installed places for wires to pass through. I put a hole in the floor of my tent near the front entrance and pass wires though the hole in the floor. I have had no problems with water or anything else coming into the hole.
Thanks for your reply !!!
Did it hold up in the rain and wind?
The tent has held up in wind and rain many times. It is noisy inside when windy though.
Those long tent pegs are for guy lines
Thanks for watching.
Can one person set this up?
Yes, I have set it up many times by myself. Thanks for watching.
What, no rain video???
LOL. Sorry I couldn't make it rain. Thanks for watching.
