Before you insert a single pole, you must perform a "quality check." High-quality assembly starts before the first step.
Most Pillowfort tents (including the popular Canvas Triangle style and the larger Modular Frame style) utilize a similar structural concept: elastic-shock corded poles and fabric sleeves.
