Tent: Bedouin stretch tent install guide

🏕️ Bedouin (Stretch) Tent Installation Guide

1. Lay Out the Tent Membrane RUBBER SIDE UP, D RINGS DOWN

   •    Spread the tent membrane across the desired area.
   •    Temporarily tack down the corners with sandbags or short stakes to prevent shifting during setup.

2. Stake Anchor Points

   •    Install 3-foot ground stakes at a 45° angle away from the tent. (3 meters)
   •    For high-tension zones (corners and major pull points), use a double stake and webbing V-formation for extra holding power.

3. Prep Poles

   •    Insert shackles into the holes at the top of each pole.
   •    Run the tension line through:
   •    The central shackle on the pole top,
   •    The bilateral webbing loops on the membrane (skipping every other loop),
   •    Then into a double-pulley system with the integrated “cockring” tension anchor, if used.

4. Raise Perimeter Poles First

   •    Begin lifting the outer/perimeter poles one at a time, using your pulley system to apply tension evenly.
   •    Adjust stake lines to maintain symmetrical stretch and smooth curvature.

5. Raise Central Poles Last (with Dolly Assist)

   •    Once the perimeter is standing and tensioned, lift the central poles last.
   •    Use a hand truck/dolly or lever assist to safely raise each central pole into place.

6. Final Tension & Safety Check

   •    Recheck all stakes and straps for proper tension.
   •    Look for clean lines, no slack or flapping, and proper slope for rain runoff.
   •    Walk perimeter to confirm all anchors are secure and lines are tight
