Limestone 6P Set-Up Instructions

How to set up your Marmot® Limestone 6P
Select a flat, level and protected site free from sharp rocks, twigs or other objects that could puncture the floor of your tent. Avoid pitching your tent in a low spot where water may collect if it rains.

Setting up the Tent Body

1. Spread the tent out floor side down and loosely stake out the 4 corners of the main tent body using the stake loops. Locate the pole sleeves, which cross in the middle of the tent body.
2. Carefully unfold all poles and begin assembling. Make sure all sections are fully joined together. Your pole system is connected with the shock cord system for easy assembly.
3. The Limestone 6P has 4 poles. There are 2 long poles, which are identical and symmetrical. There are 2 shorter poles, which are also identical and symmetrical. The shorter poles are the “brow” poles.
4. Thread one of the long poles through one of the pole sleeves. Repeat with the second long pole and other pole sleeve. Once inserted, the poles will make a large X shape, crossing in the middle of the tent. Poles should follow the seams of the tent, and the tips should be directed toward the corners.
5. Insert 2 pole tips, one at a time, on one side of the tent into the grommets. Repeat with the pole tips on the opposite side of the tent body.
6. With all 4 tips in their respective grommets, the poles will be erect. Connect clips on the tent body to the corresponding pole. The color of the clip webbing will match the color of the pole.
7. Locate the pole pockets above the tent doors. Place the brow poles over the 2 main poles. Insert the tips of the brow poles into the pole pockets. The 2 brow poles should be parallel to each other. Once both tips of the brow pole are inserted into the pole pockets, connect the clips on the tent body to the brow pole.
8. If needed, reposition the tent stakes to pull the floor of the tent body taut.

Attaching the Flysheet

1. Unfold the flysheet and identify the inside of the fly. The inside is coated and seam tape is visible.
2. Locate the 2 red tabs on the fly and the 2 red tabs at the stakeout points on the tent body. Align the 2 sets of red tabs, connect the buckle at one of the red tabs to keep the fly correctly positioned, and drape the flysheet over the tent body with the inside facing down.
3. The seams of the fly should closely align with the tent poles.
4. Locate the reflective guy-line tabs along the seams of the fly. There is Velcro under the tabs that will securely attach the fly to the tent pole structure.
5. If necessary, loosen the webbing at the 4 buckles to connect the fly to the tent body.
6. Once the 4 buckles are attached, tighten the webbing at the corners until the fly is taut.
7. Be sure the fly door is zipped closed before you stake out the vestibule. Use the large loops to stake out the vestibule. Use the adjustable webbing to tighten or release the tension.

Attaching the Doormat

1. Unfold the doormat and place it on the ground with the coated side facing up. The doormat occupies the area that is covered by the tent’s vestibule. The doormat is shaped like a trapezoid. Place the longest side of the trapezoid against the tent body in front of one of the doors.
2. Lift one corner of the tent, and attach the doormat’s grommet to the pole tip from the underside of the tent body. Repeat with the other corner. Both grommets on the longest side of the doormat should be attached to the tent body.
3. Be sure the fly door is zipped closed before you stake out the vestibule with the doormat.
4. Pulling the doormat taut, stake out the vestibule using both the loop on the vestibule and the loop on the doormat. Repeat with the other corner of the doormat and the other stake loop on the vestibule.
5. Use the adjustable webbing to tighten or release the tension.
