Thread the Poles through the Pole Sleeves

There are three capped pole sleeves (Figure 3) on this tent,

running from C-D, E-B, & F-A (Figure 2). The sleeves

start very near the stake loops at points C, E, & F. Insert

all 3 poles into their corresponding sleeves. The long pole

runs from C-D and the two short poles run from E-B & F-

A. Before erecting the tent make sure that all of the poles

are fully inserted into the capped end of the sleeves, points

A, B, & D (Figure 2).

Erect the Tent

Once the poles have all been threaded into the correct pole

sleeves, arrange the tent body again so that you can see all

6 stake loops. Starting with the longer pole at point C,

push the pole into an arched position and insert the pole

tip into the corresponding grommet. To help push the

pole into an arched position, grab the stake loop in one

hand and the pole in the other. Pull the stake loop to-

wards the pole tip, while pushing the pole into its arched

position. Repeat this process with the two shorter poles at

points E & F.

Stake Out the Tent Floor

Use the tent stakes to make sure the ﬂoor is taut and

secure to the ground. First stake out points A, B, E &

F. Then pull out the stake loops at points C & D until

the ﬂoor is taut and stake out. Drive the stakes into the

ground at an angle away from the tent.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable

living space inside your tent. The Assailant has been built

with three AirFlow vents that can be used in wet weather.

In addition to the vents the Assailant has an inner mesh

door that can help with the ventilation.

* Sierra Designs tents include stakes for pitching the body and ﬂy under normal conditions.

Additional stakes may be required in severe conditions.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we

suggest that you “test pitch” it before embarking on a

wilderness trip.

Select a Site

Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind in

order to ensure sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris

such as sharp stones and sticks which might abrade or

puncture the tent ﬂoor. Choose an area that will drain well

when it rains.

Assemble the Poles

The Assailant tent comes with 3 pre-bent poles, 1 long and

2 short of equal length. Carefully unfold the shock corded

pole sections and allow them to slide together. Do not al-

low the poles to snap together: This can lead to serious pole

damage. Make certain that the insert of each pole section is

fully inserted into the next pole section (Figure 1).

Layout the Tent

Spread the tent body out with the Yellow DriZone mate-

rial facing up. Do not step on the tent while setting it up.

Once the tent ﬂoor is spread out locate the 6 stake out points

A, B, C, D, E, & F (Figure 2).

How do I impregnate a tent? Verified

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed.

Can I repair a tear or hole in the canvas of my tent myself? Verified

There are special pieces of self-adhesive patches of cloth available for synthetic tent canvases. Stick one of these patches on both sides of the hole or tear. For cotton tent canvases or mixed material tent canvases it's best to use patches that can be ironed on. This will require an iron.

There are water drops on the inside of the tent, does this mean it is leaking? Verified

The impregnation agent leaves white stains or a white haze on the tent cloth, what can I do about this? Verified

If the agent leaves a white haze or white stains on the tent cloth, this means you have applied more impregnation agent on those areas. This is not harmful and the stains often disappear over time. It is not advisable to use less impregnation agent to prevent stains. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent to give good results.
