Learn How to Raise Pop up Tent

Pop up tents or backpacking tents as some love to call them, are simple shelters which you can carry with you whether you are biking, hiking, camping or you just enjoy spending some time in the outdoors.

They are very practical since they don’t require too much maintenance.

If you buy yourself a good quality tent it will last very long and you will be very satisfied.

Although they are very simple to set up, raising pop up tent requires few steps that must be undertaken:

1.    First, you must find the adequate spot where you will place your tent. Ideal spot is flat and clear area with no rocks, stones, tree roots or clutters. However if there are some of these then clear the area of any rocks or sharp sticks that may damage your tent floor. A ground floor for the tent may be a sheet of plastic cut to fit the footprint of the tent. When you have placed the ground sheet, spread the main body of the tent over the ground cloth.

2.    The body of the tent should have either metal rings or fabric loop at each corner, thread the stakes through and hammer the stakes into the ground at each corner of the tent. While the main body of the tent is lying flat on the ground, take out the collapsible poles and assemble them by straightening the joints.

3.    When the poles are assembled, tie in the middle of the roof of the tent. Join the poles using tie.

4.    Lift the tent into place and slide the ends of the poles into the pins at each corner of the tent.

5.    Tie the ropes to the stakes.

When setting up the tents you must pay attention not to place the tent under the trees that have large overhanging branches because in case of storms trees may lose limbs and damage your tent. Moreover, you must be aware of the surroundings. If there are potential rockslides or avalanches or even potentially dangerous wildlife you must avoid such places as pop up tents can’t provide you adequate protection. Also you have to make sure not to light the fire near you tent as it may be flammable.
