How to put up your GlawningAIR

Applies to:GlawningAIR 4mGlawningAIR 5m

In short

Peg out the base, inflate it through one of the three valves to about 4 to 5 PSI, then peg out and tension the guy ropes. One person can do it in around 15 minutes.

The basics

  1. Lay the tent out with the doors where you want them and peg out the base.
  2. Close the deflate ring on the valve (see How the GlawningAIR valves work).
  3. Inflate through whichever of the three valves is easiest to reach, to about 4 to 5 PSI.
  4. Peg out the guy ropes, with pegs angled at 45 degrees, and tension evenly.
  5. Zip on your connecting canopy and connect it to your vehicle.

Pressure

4 to 5 PSI is usually enough. Raise it to around 7 PSI in wind, and keep it at the lower end in hot weather. See What pressure should my GlawningAIR be?
