Harley Fitness Quick Open Hexagonal Tent (240cm x 240cm x 170cm) - 2086

The Harley Fitness Quick Open Hexagonal Tent (2086) is a fast-deploy camping shelter built for weekend escapes and family outings across the UAE. With a 240×240×170 cm interior, robust 600D Oxford fabric and a reflective Mylar layer, this hexagonal pop-up tent offers weather resistance, sun reflection and improved wind stability. The automatic quick-open frame and fiberglass poles make setup a single-person, minute-long task — ideal for beach trips, desert camping and backyard use. Designed for four-season versatility, it balances lightweight portability with durable protection so you can spend less time assembling and more time outdoors.

How to Set Up, Secure and Maintain the Harley Fitness Quick Open Hexagonal Tent

1. Site Selection & Ground Prep: Choose a flat, level area clear of sharp rocks or debris. Remove stones and twigs, and lay down a lightweight groundsheet to protect the tent floor and improve waterproofing. Ensure there’s a slight incline for runoff if rain is expected.

2. Unpack & Unfold: Remove the tent from the carry bag and lay it flat with the base on the ground. Unfasten the external straps and carefully unfold the tent until the auto-frame begins to expand. Release the frame latches to allow the tent to lock into the open position.

3. Stake & Guy Line Setup: Insert supplied pegs through each corner loop and gently hammer them into firm ground at a 45° angle away from the tent. Attach and tension guy ropes at the designated anchor points; this improves wind resistance for the hexagonal structure. Use additional sandbags for soft or sandy surfaces.

4. Install Accessories & Ventilation: Position any internal storage pockets, hang lightweight gear from loops if provided, and open the vents to promote airflow. For hot UAE days, use the Mylar reflective side toward the sun to reduce heat transfer. Close zippers and use storm flaps during heavy rain.

5. Folding & Packing: Remove pegs and guy lines. Collapse the frame carefully by reversing the opening steps — release the central latch and fold sides inward. Keep the fabric neat to avoid creases and place the tent back into its carry bag. Practice folding once at home to reduce time in the field.

6. Cleaning & Drying: After use, shake out sand and dirt. If wet, let the tent air dry fully before packing to prevent mildew. Spot-clean with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the Mylar reflective layer.

7. Troubleshooting & Repairs:

   • If the frame doesn’t lock fully: check for debris in the hinge or misaligned poles and gently realign before forcing the latch.

   • If pegs pull out on soft sand: use wider sand anchors or bury a pouch of sand behind each peg point.

   • If seams show leakage: apply a seam sealer designed for 600D Oxford fabric after cleaning and drying the area.
     Regular inspection of poles, stitching and zippers before trips ensures long service life and safe shelter for your outings.

Q1: What is a quick open tent?
A quick open (pop-up) tent uses an integrated frame that springs into shape as you unfold it, eliminating complex pole assembly. The Harley Fitness Quick Open Tent deploys automatically — unfold, release the latch and it locks open — saving time and enabling single-person setup in under a minute.

Q2: Are hexagonal tents better for wind resistance?
Hexagonal designs distribute wind loads more evenly across multiple sides compared with some dome shapes. The Harley Fitness hexagonal structure improves stability and reduces point stress on the fabric and poles, making it a good choice for breezy beach or desert conditions when properly pegged and guyed.

Q3: How do you set up a pop-up tent?
Place the folded tent on level ground, remove the carry bag, unfold the unit, and release the locking catches. Pull out the guy ropes and pegs, tension the lines and stake the corners. Finally, confirm vents and door zippers operate smoothly. The tent’s quick-open mechanism removes the need to thread poles manually.

Q4: What size tent do I need for 4 people?
For four people, a 240×240 cm floor provides close but usable sleeping space — sufficient for sleeping bags or two small airbeds plus minimal gear. For long trips or if you need storage space for equipment, consider a larger footprint; the Harley Fitness hexagonal tent is best for short family trips or compact group shelter.

Q5: Is this tent suitable for UAE weather?
Yes — the 600D Oxford fabric with Mylar reflective material offers sun reflection and water resistance for beach and mild desert use. For extreme sandstorms or prolonged heavy rain, use additional groundsheet protection and secure guy lines; the tent is designed for recreational four-season use rather than extreme expedition conditions.
