Connecting Wall Sections. Each wall section overlaps another to enhance the environmental protection function
of the tent and to prevent light from filtering out of the tent. Overlap each wall section as follows:
(1)
Overlap the tent fabric at the corners of each wall by lining up the corresponding side strips of velcro hook
and pile and pressing together.
(2)
Fasten the row of buckles on the inside corners of each wall. Draw the buckle straps tight.
(3)
Fasten the buckles on the outside of the wall corners and draw the straps tight.
(4)
Each corner of the roof cap has flaps which must overlap the corresponding wall. Pull the outside roof cap
corner flaps down and press the velcro hook and pile. Make sure the velcro is pressed, so that any water will
stay out and light will stay in the tent.
