Finding Your Tent's Setup Instructions

Finding Your Tent's Setup Instructions

We make a lot of tents!

Whether yours is an ultralight backpacking tent, or a burly mountaineering tent, you'll want to get familiar with how to set it up - ideally before you're out in the backcountry.

We design our tents for specific purposes, and that leads to a wide variety of different designs, with different instructions needed to set them up. Setup instructions are specific to each tent family, and you can find them in a couple of different places!

Finding Your Tent's Setup Instructions: At Home

When your tent was manufactured, it came with setup instructions! You should be able to find them sewn into the hem of your tent's stuff sack - follow those step-by-step instructions and you'll be all set!

Finding Your Tent's Setup Instructions: Online

If your tent is missing it's original stuff sack, or the instructions have been removed, you can always find your tent's setup instructions on bigagnes.com!

First, you'll want to navigate to your tent's product page. You can do this by searching for your tent's name.

If you're not sure of your tent's name - it is almost always printed on a lower corner of the tent!

Once you've found your tent's product page, simply scroll down past the product information, to the "Setup" dropdown menu. There you should find your tent's setup instructions both in written form, and as a downloadable PDF that you can print out and bring on your next trip!
