Pitching a Cimarron Platform Tent

• You will need two people, four makes it easier
• Lay the canvas tent on its side on top of your platform
• After attaching the ridge pole to the upright poles, slide this assembly into the inside of the tent
• Slide the metal pins on the ridgepole/upright pole assembly through the grommets on the ridge of the tent
• Keep the base of the two upright poles in place as the ridge is raised off of the platform, lifting the tent with it
• When the tent is upright, tie the sides of the tent to the lower side rails on the platform
• If you have a fly, it will have grommets that slide over the metal pins on the ridgepole/upright pole assembly
• Then tie the fly to the upper side rails
• Attach the tent (and mosquito netting if you added this feature) to the side of the platform with screws through the grommets at the bottom of the tent walls
• You will periodically need to retie your tent to the side rails to adjust for shifting and settling
