Unpack
Every Khyam tent comes in a handy carry bag with twin handles. The tent packs away neatly, providing a well balanced load for carrying.
Unpack
The tent is removed from the carry bag, held in a vertical manner with the pole ends pointing up. The poles fall out forming a star shape with the hub in the centre.
Unpack
The majority of poles have two different types of hinged joint - the top joint nearest the hub locks into position manually using a specially designed locking collar, whilst the lower one locks automatically once the poles are fully extended.
Unpack
Ensuring that there is no restriction of movement for the fabric pole sleeves each joint locks into place until the tent is free standing.
Unpack
The final stages are completed by locking the porch (where applicable) into position. Inner tents are either already in position or simply clipped into place. Peg out the tent and the job is completed. Simple and quick.
