IMPORTANT TIPS
The Spruce Peak Rainfly and
Poles may be set up without
using the tent body. Follow the
instructions above but ignore
steps 7 and 9-11. Instead from
step 8 you will follow the steps
on the next page for ATTACHING
the RAINFLY only you will not be
attaching the hooks on the rain fly
to the metal rings you ll be hooking
the fly directly to the end of the LEG
POLE. You will then stake DIRECTLY
through the elastic holding the fly
to the tent.
this set up
method will ONLY work on dirt or
grass DO NOT set up on concrete
or asphalt as damage will occur to
the hooks. It is also important to
follow the instructions on staking
in WINDY CONDITIONS.
