Tent Setup Guides

Photo guides from our shop floor in Denver. Print them and keep them with the tent.

Colorado Tent setup

Four pages of step-by-step photos for the Colorado Tent on its internal steel frame. You build the roof frame on the ground from the color-marked poles, white for the eaves and blue for the rafters, pull the tent over it, then add the red legs and pull the walls down.

You will need the tent, the couplers, the ropes and stakes, the color-marked frame, and a hammer for the stakes.
