1. Choose the Perfect Spot
Before unpacking, decide on the ideal location for your tent. Look for a spot with:
- Easy access to power outlets.
- Proximity to a water source.
- Adequate space for the tent, considering its height and width.
- Minimal direct sunlight to prevent overheating.
2. Unpack and Organize Your Components
Lay out all the pieces from the kit:
- Tent canvas
- Steel poles and connectors
- Floor tray
- Assembly instructions (for reference)
3. Assemble the Frame
- Begin with the tent’s base. Connect the shorter poles using the provided corner connectors to form a square or rectangle.
- Construct the tent’s top by replicating the base frame.
- Connect the vertical poles to the base, ensuring they stand upright.
- Attach the top frame to the vertical poles. Your skeleton structure is now complete.
4. Drape the Canvas
- Unfold the tent canvas and locate its bottom.
- With the frame’s assistance, pull the canvas over the skeleton structure, starting from the bottom and working your way up.
- Ensure the zippers align correctly and that the observation windows are accessible.
- Zip up the main entrance and adjust the canvas to fit snugly over the frame.
5. Install the Floor Tray
- Open the main entrance of the tent.
- Lay the waterproof floor tray on the base, ensuring it covers the entire floor area.
6. Set Up Ventilation and Cable Ports
- Decide where you’ll place your exhaust fan and carbon filter (if using).
- Open the appropriate mesh vents or ducting ports on the tent canvas.
- Insert your fan and cables through these ports, ensuring a tight fit. This setup will aid in maintaining temperature and humidity levels.
7. Install Lights and Accessories
- Depending on your chosen lighting system, hang the lights from the overhead bars using adjustable hangers.
- Ensure lights are evenly distributed for consistent plant coverage.
- Plug in all devices and use the tent’s built-in cable organizers to keep cords tidy.
8. Final Checks
- Zip up all openings and turn on your lights. The interior should illuminate evenly.
- Turn on your exhaust fan and ensure air is flowing correctly.
- Check for any light leaks. If detected, adjust the canvas or use patches to cover them.
