How to Set Up a 4 Man Tent

By Jeremy Thomas

Some campers have no experience pitching a 4 man tent. When you are winding down for the night, out on your camping trip, don't choose this time to learn. If you are overwhelmed, it can be a frustrating situation, leading to impatience. Prior to going camping, take time to set up the tent at your house. Prove to yourself that you can pitch it alone.

We have heard it all before. Location, location, location. It's the most important thing. You want to find a spot that is high and dry. Go for the flattest part of the earth you can find. This will help your 4 man dome tent maintain its sturdiness should you get heavy wind or rain. Make sure there are not any rocks or debris in the area you want to pitch the tent, because this may damage your ground mat.

Since you have located a good spot, start putting the tent floor together. Ideally, you want to put the tarp down, to protect you from the naked ground. Remove any sharp debris that could rip the floor of the tent, and smooth the wrinkles out of the ground cloth. Put a temporary tape patch over any holes that were punctured in the flooring, to keep bugs from entering the 3 4 man tent.

Put the poles and frame together. If this brand of 4 man camping tent is new to you, do an online search for clips that explain how to set up the tent. Build the frame slowly. If you get frustrated or annoyed, try not to bend the aluminum poles. Don't ruin your whole trip, by bending a pole, and not having a back up plan. Be patient when setting up the tent.

Put on the tent cover, once the frame is assembled. Presently, the 4 man pop up tent is designed to pop up, unfold, and set up on its own. Set up is fast and quick, due to the fabric being attached to the poles. Do not damage the fabric when you attach it to the frame, if you have the normal type of tent.

Attach guy rope to the spots designated on the tent. After pulling the rope until its rigid, nail in stakes at 45 degree angles, going away from the tent. Secure the stakes at 45 degree angles, anchoring them vertically will not last as long. Read about consumers who had this issue in a 4 man tent review.

Bottom line, if you want to breeze through set up at the campsite, then practice setting up the tent prior to the trip. It will save you time.
