We set this tent up to spray the seams with water repellent. How do we fold it up so that it fits back into the original packaging?

As with most tents the manufacturer seems to provide the smallest bag they can. The tents look really nice all packaged up when you first get them but trying to fit them back into the bag is tough. As suggested by another the best thing to do is just use a large duffel bag or something like that and save yourself the trouble. I store mine in a plastic box that I got from the local dollar store.

I didn't have any trouble folding it back up... bring both sides into the middle till they meet. Stomp out all excess air... then fold again continuing to push out all the air. Roll from short front end to back continuing to push out excess air. This should now fit back into the bag... add poles.

We don't have any problem with it. Just roll the cord around your hand and stuff it back in its place. Then the bed folds up just like new, and we keep it in its bag. We also just deflate, push the cord in, fold lengthwise in thirds, then fold toward to pump end.

Fold the sleeping bag in half lengthwise, then fold the open end (where you head sticks out) about half way towards the foot end. Roll the bag up towards the foot end, where the ties are. This bag has a string and hook to keep it rolled. A pretty comprehensive instruction sheet came with the bag. Hope that helps.

Yes, but good luck trying to get the large tent to fold back up. I can do the small one, but I can't figure out the large one...and I'm not the only one.

Hello. Just raise the top until you hear a click, them you just fold the bottom into the top part. It was really easy once I figured it out.

Fold in half and half again until you have a it 2 foot wide. The roll it from one end into a tight roll.

If your tent is brand spankin' new- I'd set it up in the yard,- make sure the tenting is tight- and hose it off. When it dries hit it with a silicone based water proofing spray. Pay special attention to the seams. Use a tarp under your tent- wrap/roll the edges of the tarp toward the ground to make it just fit under. Use the proper type of tent peg for your soil type and tie/stake the sides of the rain fly so to guide the water away from the tent windows.

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

push in the pop outs and lower the legs down, then you can fold in the legs, hope this helps.

just fold in the side and keep folding the next side onto itself. the top/bottom can get stuffed inside the folded sides

I agree that the picture instructions would be no help! Sorry I cant be any help, I am just gonna leave mine up in a spare room so I dont even have to try to fold it!

Remove the top and bottom first. Then find the side that has the big rubber band retention band. Then fold every other side in a zip zag caterpillar motion in on itself. It should look like the picture on the box and the assembly card of itself. Now squash it like an accordion and stretch the elastic band around it. Now it can fit in it's carrying case. Hope this helps.

I just fold it back .There is enough material to keep from overworking the hinge.(no hinge just a piece of material with plenty of give)

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

You have to make sure the air is out of it and it will fold down to store. Easier with two people

When you order the product there are instructions inside the package. Basically you fold it flat, then twist it into a small circle.
