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
