■ Set you trekking pole to the height of 105cm. Place the grip of the pole on the apex of the tent and set the pole tip straigh under that point, at the same time pulling towards the front the tent.

■ At this point you should have a triangle between the two rear tie-outs and the top. Elevate the top and pull the guyline in the front, stake it to the ground.

■ Right now the structure should be standing, the only thing missing are the two front corners. Stake them to the ground pulling towards the outside. The tent shoul form an angel of circa 70° on the rear corner.

Since the tent is not provided with a ground sheet it is advisasble to bring with you a separate sheet of material to lay on the ground. This will help to achieve a better insulation and feel warmer during the night.
