PARKVIEW 2 & 3 SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
• Our tents are easy to set up but we suggest you practice once at home before using them for the first time
to avoid late night bickering with tent mates while fumbling around in the dark.
• Before pitching tent, clear campsite of debris that may pierce tent floor.
• Big Agnes tents are all freestanding, but we recommend staking them out to increase space
and keep your tent from becoming a tumbleweed.
• Hang onto your stuff sacks or they’ll blow away and create backcountry litter.
• Pull on the pole sleeve fabric when inserting poles to avoid any bunching in the material.
• Push rather than pull poles through pole sleeves.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR TENT SET UP
If you purchase the optional Big Agnes footprint for our Parkview tents, it will enable you to pitch a shelter
while leaving the tent body behind. The Fast Fly configuration requires the footprint, tent fly, poles and stakes.

Parkview 3: run the silver pole over the hub/pole frame and insert tips into the grommets on the side of
the footprint.
3. Drape tent fly over the poles, aligning the vestibule doors with the long side of the footprint for the
Parkview 2 and the short side for the Parkview 3. The front vestibule has the largest vestibule space
and the rear vestibule has a single, vertical zipper.

(with the rear vestibule door), to mate the fly with the footprint.

on the Parkview 3.
