Limelight 3P Tent Set Up Instructions

Select a flat, level and protected site free from sharp rocks, twigs or other objects that could puncture the floor of your tent. Avoid pitching your tent in a low spot where water may collect if it rains.

Setting up the Tent Body

  1. Spread the tent out floor side down and loosely stake out the 4 corners of the main tent body using the stake loops.
  2. Carefully unfold all poles and begin assembling. Make sure that all the sections are fully joined together. Your pole system is fully connected with the shock cord system.
  3. The Limelight 3P has 3 poles. There are 2 long poles, which are identical and symmetrical. These 2 long poles are connected in the middle with a plastic hub. The 1 shorter pole is the “brow” pole.
  4. Lay down the 2 long, assembled poles on top of the tent body. They should make a large X shape, crossing in the middle of the tent. Poles should follow the seams of the tent, and the tips should be directed toward the corners.
  5. Insert 2 pole tips, 1 at a time, on 1 side of the tent into the grommets. Repeat with the remaining 2 pole tips on the opposite side of the tent body.
  6. With all 4 pole tips in their respective grommets, the main pole structure will be erect. Connect clips on the tent body to the corresponding pole.
  7. Place the brow pole over the crossing point of the 2 main poles. Insert the tips of the brow pole into the pole pockets. The pole pockets are located above the tent doors. Once both tips of the brow pole are inserted into the pole pockets, connect the clips on the tent body to the brow pole.
  8. If needed, reposition the tent stakes to pull the floor of the tent body taut.

Attaching the Flysheet

  1. Unfold the flysheet and identify the inside of the fly. The inside is coated and the seam tape is visible.
  2. Locate the 2 red tabs on the fly and the 2 red tabs at the stakeout points on the tent body. Align the 2 sets of red tabs, connect the buckle at 1 of the red tabs to keep the fly correctly positioned, and drape the flysheet over the tent body with the inside facing down.
  3. The seams of the fly should closely align with the tent poles.
  4. Identify the reflective guy-line tabs along the seams of the fly. There is Velcro under the tabs that will more securely attach the fly to the tent pole structure.
  5. If necessary, loosen the webbing at the 4 buckles to connect the fly to the tent body.
  6. Once the 4 buckles are attached, tighten the webbing at the corners until the fly is taut.
  7. Be sure the fly door is zipped closed before you stake out the vestibules. Use the large loop to stake out the vestibules. Use the adjustable webbing to tighten or release the tension.
