Set-Up Instructions
Your Deluxe Alaknak tent is relatively easy to set up as long as
you follow these instructions. We strongly recommend
setting it up at home prior to using in the field. All floor
seams are sealed at the factory. Overtime the seam tape may
detrioriate. Apply enclosed sealer to all seams (follow
instructions on bottle) if needed.

1. Lay the tent flat on the ground with door and windows
facing up. (Fig 1) Make sure the door is zipped CLOSED at
this time. Stake out the tent with the stakes provided. Place
the stake through the webbing loop and drive into the
ground at a 45° angle facing away from the tent, pulling each
position taut.
2. Locate the shorter, one piece side poles. Locate a ring pin
on any of the four corners of the tent. Insert the pin attached
to the web loop into the bottom (open end) of a pole. Insert
the post on the top of the pole into the grommet in the
sidewall seam, directly above. Attach hook/loop webbing
around the pole. (Fig 2) Repeat process with remaining
corners and then at all side pole locations.
3. Several feet directly out from each corner, drive a stake into
the ground at a 45° angle facing away from the tent. Be sure
to leave the stake partially out of the ground to allow the
rope to fit under the hook. (Fig 3) Repeat this process at each
of the pole positions along the sides.
4. Locate the black guy ropes. Guy out the four corner poles
as follows: Tie a loop knot or slip knot on the end of the rope
opposite of the metal adjuster. Loop this knot around the
post on the top of the pole coming through the grommet.
Place the loop created by the metal adjuster around the
stake. Remove slack in the rope by sliding the adjuster
towards the tent. CAUTION: Do not over tighten guy ropes,
as the tent will be pulled off center. Repeat process with the
remaining corners and then with sidewall poles.

5. Take out the large diameter pole assembly and
snap together to form a single pole. Each end will
have a rubber cap. This is the internal center pole.
Unzip the main entrance door, lift the tent up and
step into the tent with the pole. Push the roof
upward with the pole placing the top of the pole
on the reinforced area near the roof peak and the
bottom reinforced area in the center of the floor.
(Fig 2) Repeat process for second center pole on
the 12'x20' model.

Starting at the top, attach the clips around the
edge of the awning to the awning pole. (Fig 5)
Attach the white rope to the top center of the
awning pole between the clips. Drive a stake
about 12 feet out from the center of the door.
Attach guy rope to stake and remove slack with
adjuster.
7. At this time adjust any ropes to allow tent and
tent wall to stand straight. Once the tent is
straight, all ropes can be tightened. We
recommend driving the stakes all the way into the
ground at this point. Your tent is now ready for use.

2. Do not erect the tent over rocks, sticks or other sharp objects which could damage the tent floor.
Placing a ground cloth under the tent is highly recommended.
3. Cabela's tent fabrics are flame retardant treated per CPAI-84 specifications. Open flames should
not be used in or near the tent since a flame-resistant tent can still burn or melt.
4. When possible, open doors and ventilation panels to increase ventilation and reduce condensation
which can form on the inner tent surface.
5. The durable steel poles are specifically designed to allow for maximum tautness. Care should be
taken to avoid unnecessary stress to these poles. The poles should only be used as intended and not
bent more than the curvature of the tent. Make sure joints are fully engaged before bending the poles.
Should you break or lose a pole, a replacement can be obtained from Cabela's.
6. When the warm, moist air inside your tent meets the colder air, moisture may accumulate on the
tent walls. This is condensation, and its occurence is natural. There is nothing wrong with your tent.
Condensation can be limited or avoided through ventilation: Keep as many vents, windows and doors
open as possible. Using a wood burning stove can also help to dry out the air outside your tent.
7. Always store the tent dry and clean. To clean soiled areas, gently apply non-detergent soap and
water.
