IO 1&2 Pitching Instructions

iO is a Trekking pole tent, meaning there are only end poles that come with the tent and it is pitched using trekking poles to create a stable structure. Our recommended height to set the poles is 125cm.

Our Step-by-step guide

  1. Unpack the tent and lay out flat, ensuring all corners are exposed.
  2. Connect door clips to keep the shelter secure when pitching
  3. Insert end poles into the top vent eyelet and then the bottom eyelet
  4. Peg out the end pole using the guylines located above the end pole & in each corner of the flysheet
  5. Insert trekking pole spike upwards in the eyelet located in the main flysheet vent (Behind the terra nova logo) and extend, pushing it vertically into the ground
  6. We recommend extending your trekking pole to 120-125cm
  7. Secure the trekking pole to your inner using the strap and loop provided
  8. Repeat for the otherside
  9. Peg out flysheet guylines to get the iO taut
  10. Ensure your end poles say vertical as you peg around the tent
  11. Tighten your guylines using the grippers to get the flysheet as taut as possible
  12. Use the adjusters found by the trekking poles to adjust your inner height, maximising head space
