Select a dry, level area and clear the ground of any

sharp or dangerous objects.

Where possible select a sheltered camp site protected

from the wind, and one that will not allow water to

pond under the tent oor in the event of rain.

Lay out the tent with doors facing in the desired

direction. Open all doors and windows in the tent to

allow air inside when erecting the tent.

WARNING - Failing to open doors and windows will

put excessive stress on the fabric and seams as the

tent is raised and may cause damage.

• Peg out the four corners of the tent, ensuring that

the tent is pulled out rm and square (be careful

not to make it too taut). Peg out the remaining peg

points inserting pegs on a 45 degree angle.

• Remove all of the frame parts from the bag and lay

out as per the frame part diagram. Join appropriate

tent pole sections together ensuring each section is

rmly secured into the next.

• Install the centre ridge pole. Select the frame

(parts #42, #43 and #44) for the centre ridge pole

and insert through the centre ridge pole sleeve on

the tent ensuring the front pole #44 is correctly tted

through the webbing loop and pole sock, and the

the rear pole #42 is tted through the webbing strap

attached to the tent.

• Install the outside curved ridge poles, x2. Select

the frame (parts #32, #33 and #34) for the outside

curved ridge poles and insert through

the outside ridge pole sleeves on the

roof of the tent, ensuring the end poles

are correctly tted through the webbing

loops attached to the tent.

WARNING - Do not force poles through the sleeves

as this may damage the sleeve. Check to ensure

the pole does not snag when sliding it through the

sleeve.

• Install the inside curved ridge poles, x2. Select the

frame (parts #35, #36 and #37) for the inside curved

ridge poles and insert through the inside ridge pole

sleeves on the roof of the tent, ensuring the front

pole #37 is correctly tted through the webbing loop

and pole sock and the rear pole #35 is tted through

the webbing strap attached to the tent.

• WARNING - Do not force poles through the

sleeves as this may damage the sleeve. Check

to ensure the pole does not snag when sliding it

through the sleeve.

• Install the outside support legs. Select the 4

assembled outside support legs, (4 x part #30 and

4 x part #31) and insert these into the outside ridge

poles already tted to the tent.

Do you have a question about the Torpedo7 Estate and is the answer not in the manual?

The device described in the manual is the Torped07 Estate Tent.

Function Description:

The Torped07 Estate Tent is a portable shelter designed for outdoor use, specifically for camping or events where a temporary covered space is needed. It provides protection from the sun, wind, and rain. The tent features a robust frame structure and a fabric canopy, designed for stability and ease of assembly. It includes multiple poles and fabric components that interlock to form the tent's shape, creating a spacious interior. The design incorporates features for securing the tent to the ground and for managing the fabric to ensure proper setup and weather resistance.

Important Technical Specifications:

The tent's structure is built using a combination of different pole types and fabric sleeves. Key components include:

Centre Ridge Poles: These form the apex of the tent's roof.
Outside Ridge Poles: These support the outer edges of the roof.
Inside Ridge Poles: These provide internal support for the roof structure.
Outside Support Legs: These form the exterior vertical supports of the tent.
Inside Support Legs: These provide internal vertical support.
Centre Upright Poles: These are central vertical supports.
Porch Pole Assembly: This creates an extended porch area at the front of the tent.
Webbing Loops and Sleeves: The fabric components feature webbing loops and pole sleeves that are crucial for assembling the poles and securing the fabric.
Pegging Points: The tent includes pegging points around its base for securing it to the ground with pegs. These points are designed to be pulled taut at a 45-degree angle for maximum stability.
Windows and Doors: The tent incorporates windows and doors, which are designed to be opened and closed. A warning indicates that excessive stress on the fabric and seams around these openings can cause damage.
Metal Clip Attached to Porch Pole: The porch pole has a metal clip designed to attach to the porch fabric from the canvas porch.
Guy Ropes: The tent is equipped with guy ropes for additional stability, especially in windy conditions.

Usage Features:

The manual provides detailed instructions for assembling and disassembling the tent, emphasizing a systematic approach for ease and correctness.

Assembly:

Site Selection: Choose a dry, level area, clear of sharp objects.
Groundsheet Placement: Lay out the tent with doors facing the desired direction. Open all doors and windows.
Pegging: Peg down the four corners of the tent first, ensuring it is pulled taut and square. Then peg the remaining pegging points at a 45-degree angle.
Frame Assembly:
- Inside Curved Ridge Poles: Select parts #32, #33, and #34. Insert them into the outside curved ridge pole sleeves and then into the inside ridge pole sleeves on the roof. The webbing loops attached to the tent should be pulled taut.
- Inside Curved Ridge Poles (Parts #35, #36, #37): Insert these into the inside curved ridge pole sleeves and then into the inside ridge pole sleeves on the roof. The webbing strap attached to the tent should be pulled taut.
- Centre Ridge Pole (Part #44): Insert into the webbing loop and pole sock from the porch end.
- Roof Spreader Bar (Part #7): Insert into the webbing loop and pole sock from the porch end.
- Roof End Pole (Part #42): Insert into the webbing loop and pole sock from the porch end.
- Outside Support Legs (Parts #30, #31): Assemble the 4 assembled inside support legs. Insert them into the inside ridge poles already fitted to the tent. The pole socks are then clipped to the already fitted ridge poles.
- Centre Upright Poles (Parts #40, #41): Attach the front and rear centre upright poles by lifting one of the outside sets of support legs until the end wall is upright and pushing the bottom of the support leg against the ground to hold in place. Repeat this process with the closest set of inside support legs. Move to the opposite end of the tent and repeat, lifting the outside support legs first, followed by the inside support legs.
- Porch Pole Assembly (Parts #14a, #14): Fold the front porch back over the cabin of the tent and fit the front porch spreader bar (#7) to the already fitted ridge pole (#44).
- Remaining Porch Poles (Parts #10, #11, #12): Repeat the process for the remaining porch poles, making sure to place the poles in the correct positions. Place corner poles (parts #10 and #11) to the outside corners and outside poles (parts #10 and #12) to the sides of the porch. Note that part #12 has a metal clip attached to the porch pole to fit a corresponding hook from the canvas porch.
- Guy Ropes: Once all porch poles are in place, adjust the tension on the guy ropes to set the porch evenly and taut.

Disassembly:

Packing Instructions: Ensure the tent is completely dry and clean before packing away.
Clear Area: Clear all debris and pegs from the tent and its surroundings.
Lowering the Tent: Once the tent has been lowered, ensure that the walls are folded neatly and the roof is spread out flat. Fold the porch roof back over the main part of the tent and lay flat on top of the middle roof.
Folding in Thirds: Fold the tent in thirds by first folding one of the side rooms inward completely over the top of the centre room. Repeat the process with the other side room.
Folding in Thirds (Width): Again fold the tent in thirds by first folding one of the outside areas inward to two thirds across the width. Repeat with the other outside edge, folding this edge completely over to meet the fold on the other side. Brush/wipe the underside of the floor after every fold. The tent is now a long narrow rectangle.
Rolling the Tent: Tightly roll the tent, from the back towards the front door, brushing/wiping the underside of the floor as you go.
Securing: Secure the rolled up tent with the supplied ties.
Storage: Place the tent in a carry bag.

Maintenance Features:

Care Instructions:
- Seasoning: It is recommended to season your tent prior to its first use to ensure that the seams are fully watertight. This involves setting up the tent, wetting it thoroughly with the garden hose, especially on the seams, and letting it dry fully. Repeat 1-2 times.
- Heat and Flame Sources: Never use any gas, flame, or heat appliances inside the tent.
- Guy Ropes: Supplied guy ropes must be used at all times to help stabilise and prevent any damage to your tent. Damage to the tent due to wind and/or storm damage is not covered under warranty.
- Storage: Your tent must be stored away DRY and CLEAN. It must also be kept in a dry area off the ground to help prevent any moisture build-up and/or mildew developing.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft cloth only. If left, this may damage the fabric of your tent. Do not use cleaning agents, bleaches, or sharp instruments.
- Waterproofing Treatment: Do not expect any waterproofing treatment of the fabric, but it may also accidentally damage the tent which would NOT be covered under the warranty.
- Pegs: When dismantling the tent, take the extra time to wipe down the poles along with your pegs. This will help keep them free of dirt and debris and help extend their usage.
- Mildew Prevention: If not regularly used, erect the tent periodically. This will help in the detection of any mould or mildew that may have been previously undetected (if accidentally put away damp, or had moisture build-up whilst stored), or any damage that may have been unheeded when last used.
- Salt Spray: If the tent has been used near the sea, hose down the entire tent to remove salt spray residue. Lubricate all sliders and any metal parts periodically before storing. Zip sliders can be sprayed with a silicone spray to prevent corrosion.
Warranty: Torpedo7's Warranty Policy covers its products for 12 months from the purchase date. Warranty claims cover any fault, defect or failure occurring as a result of the manufacturing process. Damage or faults occurring as a result of misuse, accident, or wear and tear are not covered by the warranty policy. If the product is out of warranty, they can still repair the product if parts are available, but the cost will be charged to the customer.
Note: Torpedo7 tents do not cover wind damage. This is standard practice for all tents sold within New Zealand and Australia.
