brow pole, with the arch pole tips at either points G and H or A and B.

Drape the fly over the tent making sure the yellow vestibule door is over

the end with the arch pole. At points 1 to 12 (Figure 4) on the inside of

the tent fly you will

find ⅝" side release

buckles. Attach these

points to their mates

on the tent body. It is

easiest if you start at

the points nearest the

apex and work down.

At points J, K, W and

attach-

ments. Attach these to the vestibule poles. At eight perimeter points on

the fly are ¾" LadderLoc fly attachments (Figure 5). These points corre-

spond to the ends of the poles at points A–H. Working your way around

the perimeter of the tent, hook the grommets at the ends of the adjust-

ment straps over the pole ends at points A, B, G and H and then tighten

the adjustment straps. Working your way around the tent again, follow

the same procedure for points C, D, E and F. Now stake out the adjust-

able vestibule loops at points L, M, N and O. Tighten these to the

desired tautness.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable

living space inside your tent. The vestibule door panel

can be rolled away for maximum ventilation, or guyed out

in an awning-like fashion. Because the rainfly has an

awning over the door, you can often leave the door tied

open in a rain storm, provided the door faces away from

the wind. When the door in the rear of the rainfly is left

fully or partially open, it effectively improves flow-

through ventilation. Additionally, the zippers at the top

of the vestibule and back door can be used to regulate

ventilation. Staking out the center back of the rainfly (point N) further

enhances ventilation by increasing airflow under the fly.

Internal Guy System

Years ago, Sierra Designs was the first to introduce the revolutionary

Internal Guy System. This system remains a very important feature in our

Convertible and 4-Season tents. When installed, this simple system will

greatly increase the strength of your tent with the weight of a few guy

cords. This system is very useful in extreme weather conditions, but is not

necessary under normal conditions.

Installation: All attachments are made inside the tent. All that is need-

ed are 4 pieces of guy cord of 100" lengths or longer, (line tighteners may

be used but are optional). Some of

these items have been provided com-

plimentary with your tent. There are

nine webbing loops sewn to the inte-

rior of the tent body; one in each

corner of the floor at points A, B, G

and H (Figure 6) and one at each of

the pole intersection points in the

ceiling at points O, P, Q, R and I.

Start by tying one end of a cord through the webbing loop in the ceiling at

point Q. Secure the other end at point A with a double half-hitch or one

of the complimentary line tighteners (See Figure 7). Repeat this procedure

for lines between points B and O, G and R, H and P. Note: Point I is

the apex of the tent and it is not part of the Internal Guy System. Use

point I as a hang loop. The Internal Guy System will partially obstruct

the doorway. If you want to stow the cord out of the way when entering

or exiting the tent, simply loosen the cord and pass it through the

loop in the ceiling.

Please note that 11 tent stakes and 12 guy cords were

provided with this tent as a courtesy. If you choose

to use more than this when pitching your tent,

additional stakes and cord may be pur-

chased at the store where you originally

purchased your tent.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we suggest that you

“test pitch” it before embarking on a wilderness trip.

Select a Site

Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind in order to ensure

sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris such as sharp stones and sticks

which might abrade or puncture the tent floor. Choose an area that will

drain well when it rains.

Unfurl the Tent and Assemble the Poles

Unfold the tent and lay the floor flat on the ground with the door un-

zipped. Carefully unfold the shock corded pole sections and allow them to

slide together. Do not allow the poles

to snap together: This can lead to seri-

ous pole damage. Make certain that

the insert of each pole section is fully

inserted into the next pole section (Fig-

ure 1). You will have four straight

poles, one arch pole, and one shorter

brow pole.

Stake Out the Floor

We recommend staking the floor prior to inserting the poles for greater

pitching ease. Although the Stretch Dome Expedition AST is a totally free-

standing tent, we suggest that you always stake the floor for greater safety

and stability, especially in high

winds. First stake each of the

webbing loops at the back of the

tent at points G and H (Figure

2). Next, move to the front of

the tent, pull the webbing loops

at points A and B until the tent

floor is squarely and semi-tautly

positioned, and stake them

down. Finally, stake the sides at

points C, D, E and F, again pull-

ing the tent floor semi-taut.

Figure 2: Tent Body (top view)

Erect the Tent

Insert the tips of one of the straight poles into the grommets at

points A and H, and the tips of a second

straight pole into the grommets at points B

and G (Figure 2). Pull the two poles up so

they intersect at point I and attach the Clip-

Loc

™

over the intersection at the apex (do not

attach the cord yet). Now, following the seams

along the poles, attach the remaining Swift

Clips

™

. Next, insert a straight pole at points C

and D, arching the pole around the back of the tent. Finally, attach all

Swift Clips along this pole’s path. Repeat this process with the remaining

straight pole between points E and F. Now that all the straight poles

have been attached to the tent body, attach the 6 remaining Clip-Locs.

Hook the four Clip-Locs nearest to the doors over the intersection with

their opening facing the middle of the tent. Now attach the cord on the

Clip-Locs by wrapping the cord in the direction crossing the open gate of

the clip. Wrap the cord around the pole intersection two to four times,

depending on desired firmness, then slide the cord into the groove on the

backside of the clip to hold it taut (Figure 3).

Fly Sheet

You now have two remaining poles: one arch pole, and one shorter curved

brow pole. Place the ends of the curved brow pole in the buckets at

points S and V or T and U. Place the arch pole at the end opposite the
