Pitching

Pitching a Cimarron Platform Tent

It’s a 10 step process. And to make is as simple as possible, you will need two people (four makes it easier).

Step 1: Lay the canvas tent on its side on top of your platform.

Step 2: After attaching the ridge pole to the upright poles, slide this assembly into the inside of the tent.

Step 3: Slide the metal pins on the ridgepole/upright pole assembly through the grommets on the ridge of the tent.

Step 4: Keep the base of the two upright poles in place as the ridge is raised off of the platform, lifting the tent with it.

Step 5: When the tent is upright, tie the sides of the tent to the lower side rails on the platform.

Step 6: If you have a fly, it will have grommets that slide over the metal pins on the ridgepole/upright pole assembly.

Step 7: Then tie the fly to the upper side rails.

Step 8: 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.

Step 9: You will periodically need to retie your tent to the side rails to adjust for shifting and settling.

Step 10: Kick back with a beer and enjoy your handiwork.
