The Origami 2 Tarp that you have purchased is a unique

shelter in that you will be able to use and pitch this tarp

in an inﬁnite amount of conﬁgurations. Your tarp is con

ﬁgured with 5 equilateral triangle patterns, which allows

for panels to be folded in various ways depending on the

desired conﬁguration. You will notice that on the exterior

of your Origami 2 Tarp there are 5 stake out points, 5 bias

binding guy outs, and 5 reﬂective guy outs points. You

will also notice that on the underside of the stake out

points and the bias binding guy outs there are internal

loops and the underside of the reﬂective guy outs are ties.

All of these points are integral aspects of your tarps pitch

ing conﬁgurations. As you become more familiar with

your tarp you will also become more creative in the various

pitching possibilities. Two variations are described later on

in the instructions. Enjoy the variations and explore the

possibilities.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new Origami 2

Tarp we suggest that you “test pitch” it before embarking

on a wilderness adventure.

Unfurl the Tarp and Assemble the Poles

The Origami 2 comes with 1 adjustable pole. The pole has

two different heights for different tarp conﬁgurations. Assem

ble this pole by carefully unfolding the shock corded sections

and allowing them to slide together. Do not snap the pole

sections together, as this could damage the poles. Make cer

tain that the insert for each pole section is fully inserted into

the next pole section (Figure 1). Failure to do so may cause

the poles to break. Unfold the tarp and lay ﬂat on the ground

so that the Sierra Designs logos are visible.

Stake Out and Erect the Tarp

Start by staking out points B, C, & D of the tarp (Figure 2),

and make sure that the tarp door is open. Next, you will want

to make sure that the pole is in the shorter conﬁguration.

Now, take the domed (rounded) end of the pole and place on

the underside of the tarp at point F and erect the tarp. To

ﬁnish you will now need to stake out points A & E. In order

to get a taut pitch we suggest that you work your way around

the tarp and adjust the stake out points as necessary until the

desired tautness is achieved.

Pitching Variations

As mentioned above one of the many beneﬁts of the Origami 2

Tarp is its’ ample pitching variations. On the following page

are just two examples of these various pitching conﬁgurations.

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.

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.
