Pop Up Tents

The graphics/accessories compartment can either hold one tent canopy or several tent accessories (rope & stake kit, unfilled sandbags, etc.).

Setup for your custom pop up tent is a simple and straightforward process that can be completed in a matter of minutes. We recommend setting up your tent with the assistance of at least one other person. Start by removing your tent frame from the shipping container or carrying case. Be sure to use caution when handling the tent frame, as the individual pieces of hardware can act like scissors while unfolding. Standing across from each other, begin to expand the tent frame by holding onto the center “V” formed by the connecting pieces of aluminum in the center of any given side, lifting the tent frame into the air, and taking steps backward. Do not expand the frame to its full size, stopping once it is roughly five feet wide. Next, place the tent canopy onto the frame, aligning the corners together and securing the canopy to the frame using the attached velcro. Once you have secured the canopy to the frame, you may continue to expand the tent by each person grabbing a tent leg and taking steps backward. Continue until the tent is extended to the full width of ten feet. You will know the tent is fully extended once the auto-sliders at the top of each leg are able to click into place. You may need to push up on them to help click them in. Once the tent is fully extended, you will need to raise the interior of the tent by cranking the handle in the center of the tent. If you are looking down at the handle, you will crank in a counterclockwise direction to raise and a clockwise direction to lower. Crank the handle until the interior stops rising and the canopy is tight. Now that the tent frame and interior have been fully extended, all that is left is to raise the legs. You can do so by standing on the footplate of any given tent leg and pushing up until the telescopic leg clicks into place. We recommend lifting at least two legs at the same time. Continue until all four legs have locked into place. Once the tent is assembled, you are able to adjust the height of the tent by pushing on the red switch on each leg and extending the leg to the desired height.

While it is possible to set up this tent with only one person, it is not ideal to do so. Having at least one other person available to help will significantly decrease setup time and will make the process much easier. When using two people, tent setup should take no longer than 5-10 minutes.

The tent canopy attaches to the tent frame using sewn-in Velcro strips on each of the four corners. This ensures a secure and snug fit. To remove the canopy from the frame, retract the frame width to approximately five feet and peel each canopy corner away from the attached velcro.

The best method for removing wrinkles from your custom tent canopy is to use a fabric steamer. Be sure to use caution when doing so and avoid pressing too hard or staying in one spot for too long. This may cause damage to either the printed ink or the canopy material. Do NOT machine wash the canopy or use an iron in an attempt to remove wrinkles. Nonetheless, most wrinkles will remove themselves when the tent is fully assembled, the canopy is taut and the heat of the sun helps warm the canopy.

Do not machine wash your tent canopy. If you need to clean your tent canopy, you will need to hand wash it by using a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water. For cleaning the tent frame, you can use a damp cleaning cloth to remove dirt and scuff marks.

Taking down your custom pop up tent is just as easy as setting it up. Begin by pressing in the red switch at the top of each tent leg, disconnecting it from the locked-in position. Next, press in the red switch in the middle of each tent leg and lower the legs to the lowest possible height. With the assistance of another person, lift up opposing tent legs and take steps forward. This will begin to retract the tent. Once the tent is about five feet wide, remove the canopy from the frame by peeling away the corners from the attached velcro. Once the canopy is fully removed, continue to retract the tent until it is completely enclosed.
