Tent Setup Made Simple
Watch this quick step-by-step guide to setting up your rental tent. In just a few minutes, you’ll learn how to stake it down, add the poles, secure the rain fly, and get your sleeping pad ready. Follow along, and you’ll have your campsite set up smoothly and stress-free.
Bonus: Read the full blog post for other tips like where to put your tent and how to pack up in the rain.
If your tent doesn’t have grommets in the corners…
Some of our tents have socks + hooks rather than grommets + tubes. If this is the style you rented, then watch the short second video for a quick demo on connecting the poles to the tent.
Besides this step, everything else is the same as the main tent setup demonstration.
