How to Fold Up a Pop Up Tent
Documentation Download Documentation Download Documentation A surprising number of individuals utilize pop-up tents as quick and simple shelters, but discover that folding the tent is an unanticipated headache. Folding the tent poles together and then over each other is the best method for storing it. Using this method, you can collapse the tent into a circle that can be stored in a bag until you need it again. With a little understanding of tent folding procedures, you’ll be able to store your tent until you need it again.
- 1 Before you begin folding the tent, clean it well. In most cases, shaking out dirt, sand, and pine needles is all that’s required of you. Despite the fact that you can try again later, the debris may become lodged in the tent folds. Tip the tent to the side to allow the debris to drain. When you have the opportunity, thoroughly clean the tent using a little amount of powdered laundry detergent and a damp towel.
- Never put away a wet tent, otherwise you’ll wind up with mold on your hands
- 2Fold the top two poles together to form a triangle. Place yourself next to the tent. The poles are the ridges on top of the tent to your left and right that go parallel to the ground. Extend your arms to grab both sides and bring them together at the same time. Advertisement
- s3 Fold the bottom two poles together to form a triangle. The tent’s outside boundaries are formed by the bottom poles, which now protrude to the left and right of the tent’s center pole. You’ll have to find a way to get to both of them. Fold one of the bottom poles up and over one of the top poles to create a v-shape. Repeat the process with the other bottom pole to ensure that all four poles are held together.
- 4Turn the tent so that it is on its side. The folded tent has the appearance of a large taco. Continue to hang on to the four tent poles as you turn the tent on its side to the other side. Position the taco so that the open side of the taco form is flush with the ground
- 5 Fold the top poles over to the back of your hand. You’ll have to stretch your hands out once more to complete the task. Reach out over the highest portion of the tent while holding the four poles together. Grab the rear of the taco form with one hand and pull it down to the other with the other. Wrestle the tent to the ground in order to flatten it, and then repeat the process.
- You won’t require more than a minimal amount of force to draw the tent down because of the lightweight nature of the poles. The poles are also flexible, making it unlikely that they would break.
- 6Put the tent parts together by sliding them together. If you fold the tent correctly, it will seem as two circles of cloth that are side-by-side in shape. Bring one over the other to make it easier to pack your tent
- And 7 Place the tent in a bag and press down to seal it. In order to keep a strong grasp on the poles, pop ups are intended to rebound back into the shape of a tent after being smashed. You may use your hands and knees to press down on it to eliminate any remaining air that is keeping it from resting completely flat. After that, place the tent in its bag and store it until your next adventure arrives. Advertisement
- 1 Before folding the tent, shake it to remove any particles. Before you put the tent away, make sure it’s completely clean. Turn it over and shake off any dirt or sand that has become trapped within. With a little water and a hose or a towel, you can clean the tent up well after that. In the event that you don’t have time to deal with severe stains right away, you may pack up the tent and clean it at home.
- When washing away difficult stains, a small amount of powdered detergent might be beneficial.
- 2 Grab the tent’s sides with both hands. Position yourself in front of the tent’s entrance. The tent pole that runs from side to side above the entrance is the one that is closest to you. Grab hold of both edges of the tent with both hands. Even if the door has a cover on it, leave the door open.
- Beach tents are often smaller in size than conventional tents, and they do not have poles running across the width of the tent as do regular tents. In addition, if you’re still having difficulties folding any other tent, you may try this method.
- 3Fold the tent’s sides together to form a square. The tent should be pulled in one direction toward the center, then pushed flat on the ground. While you’re holding it down, move the other side across and place it on top. It should now be in the shape of an oval
- 4 Turn the tent on its side and press it down to make it as flat as possible. Turn the tent so that it is resting on its side. Push down on the middle of this edge with your fingers. As you flatten the tent, it will take on the shape of a figure-8. If you want to guide the tent to the ground, you can put one hand on the side of the tent. Fold the tent in half so that it is completely enclosed. Keep your hands on the tent! If you release go, it will return to its original shape. The tent should be picked up from one side and then carried over to the other side. This results in the tent collapsing into a circle. It’s a good idea to keep one leg on the tent while doing this to keep your grasp from slipping.
- Because the poles are extremely flexible, there is no need to be concerned about them breaking.
- 6Disassemble the tent and put it away. Alternatively, if the tent came with an elastic band, you may use it to keep it in place. Place the tent in its carrying bag. Any poles that are protruding out should be tucked in, and the bag should be closed until you are ready to use the tent again. Advertisement

Pop-up tents are notoriously naughty, as we all know. You can set them up in seconds, but every time you try to fold one back up, it either fires out again or doesn’t fit back into the bag because it was folded improperly, giving you unending stress when packing up your camping goods. Now you don’t have to suffer anymore! You will learn how to fold your pop up tent in a few simple steps with the help of this instruction.
Folding Your Pop Up Tent: Step By Step Guide
This tutorial is based on our Malawi tent, which has design elements that are comparable to those seen in traditional pop-up tents.
Step 1: Unzip the door
Unzip the front entrance of your tent from the inside by walking to the front of it. This allows any trapped air to exit the tent, making it simpler to compress and fold later down the road. You may also want to consider giving the tent a quick clean down at this point to ensure that it isn’t soiled for the next time you use it.
Step 2: Fold from back to front
Take hold of the center of the rear base pole and proceed to fold it upwards until you reach the top of the pole. Take both of them in one hand and hold them together. Then, while still holding the two poles in place, reach over and grasp the front base pole, pulling it upright until it meets the other poles you’re presently holding, bringing all of the poles together in one hand for easy storage.
Step 3: Lift the tent and rotate
Lift the tent and turn it on its side so that it stands vertically, holding the tent with one hand while the other holds the tent in place.
Step 4: Pull down
Grab the top section of the tent with your free hand and pull it down towards your feet.
Step 5: Slide rings
The tent frame should be slightly overlapping two circles now that you’ve folded it towards the soles of your feet, as seen in the image below. Slide one ring beneath the other, then press down on the tent to allow any residual air to escape through the opening. The tent should now be folded in half so that it forms a circle.
Step 6: Bag it up
Take any slack elastic straps and draw them across the folded tent, allowing you to stow the tent away in its accompanying bag when you’ve completed this step. That’s all there is to it! Your tent should be completely folded and ready to depart at this point.

Pre-Folding Tips
- It is not a good idea to fold a filthy tent since it might cause harm to the material during storage and attract insects. Consequently, be sure to clean up any waste and sweep off any dirt or debris. You may completely clean the tent by using a damp sponge or moist cloth soaked in water and mild soap to remove stains or mud splashes from the surface. Try to do so before the stains or mud have had a chance to completely dry, as you will be able to wash them more easily when they are still wet. Alternatively, if your tent is in desperate need of a thorough cleaning, consult our tutorial on how to clean a tent for our specific step-by-step procedure
- Allowing the tent to dry and air out is recommended prior to packing it up. When you fold a damp tent, you risk causing damage and mold growth. As long as it is not filthy or soaked, you should at the very least allow it to air out for an hour before packing it up.
- Untether the tent: You will not be able to begin folding the tent until the tent has been untethered. Make sure you pull out all of the metal stakes that hold your tent to the ground before you begin packing it up. After removing the stakes, wash and dry them thoroughly before storing them in your tent bag.
- Remove the tarp: If your tent is equipped with a tarp or secondary covering for sun and rain protection, remove it, fold it, and place it in the bag with the rest of your belongings.
Important: It is critical that you follow the cleaning and drying instructions, especially if you are not planning to use your tent for an extended period of time. If you don’t follow these instructions, you’ll most likely end up with a rotting tent. Yikes! Following the completion of all of the pre-folding precautions, you can begin folding the pop-up tent in its entirety. For even more thorough preparation, let’s watch a quick take-down video and then walk through each step together.

Here’s an illustration utilizing the well-known Ayamya Pop-up tent. Instructions on how to take down an AYAMAYA pop-up tent After that, let’s walk through the process of taking down a pop-up tent. Despite the fact that these are generic instructions, the process is the same or quite comparable for the majority of pop-up tent models. We recommend that you consult the owner’s handbook of your tent for detailed step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Grab the two top points of the tent and bring them together.
Posture yourself on the side of the tent that is perpendicular to the tent door in order to be in the proper position for the task at hand. Then you’ll want to find the two high arches that will serve as the tent’s highest point. One hand should be used to grasp the two points and bring them together.
Step 2: Grab the back end of your tent and fold it to meet the middle.
Grab the smaller arch towards the rear of your tent that is further toward the top with your free hand. Pull that arch across to meet the two points that your one hand is currently holding together with its other hand. Once the three ends have come together, move them all into one hand.
Step 3: Bring the front arch together to meet the other points.
It is just as important to have your tent door open to allow for air circulation as it is to have an accessible entry point while folding your tent up to allow any trapped air to escape. Grab the top of the arch above the entrance with your free hand and hold it in place. Once this is done, fold the front of the tent inwards towards the remainder of the tent. When you’re finished, your pop-up tent should have the shape of a taco on it.
Step 4: Stand your tent upright and fold it inwards.
Turn your tent upwards with one hand while retaining a tight grasp on the pole. In the next step, use your free hand to gently lower the tent’s highest point all the way down to the ground. During this time, the tent should begin to shut in on itself, while the arches in your other hand should stay on the outside.
Step 5: Twist the tent to form two circles, then fold them over each other.
After folding the tent downwards, twist it slightly so that the arches form two circles next to each other, resembling the sign for endless repetition. Fold one circle over the other, as if you were closing a folder, and align the edges so that you can fold the circles as neatly as possible when you are through.
Step 6: Secure the tent if it has such features.
In the event that your pop-up tent is one of the numerous kinds that has secure attachments to prevent it from springing open, you may take use of that feature right away.
If your tent does not have any of these features, make sure to hold on to it tightly until you have it stored where you will use it.
Step 7: Place the tent back into its bag.
Carefully place your folded tent inside the tent bag that came with your tent. The only way to tell whether you have folded it securely enough is if it goes easily into its case. What is the final precaution? Bags can be closed with a zip, a cinch, or a seal. It’s important to remember that even the greatest pop-up tents may be challenging to take down. And while folding your tent may not be as simple as setting it up, with these tips and a little practice, you will be able to learn to fold it back down in no time.

There are several types of tents available, including a camping tent, a dome tent, a sun shelter, a beach shelter, a portable tent, and a shower tent. All of these tents are available in a variety of sizes and somewhat varying forms. Most pop-up tents may be folded in the same manner, however the method of folding varies from one tent to the next.
If it is all clear, you and I can dive straight into the guide right now!
Step 1 – Prepare the tent for folding
Clean up the tent before you fold it up and store it away. In particular, if the tent sits on a sandy or muddy area, it can be easy for dirt to attach itself to the fabric, just like water, insects, germs, and other microorganisms did previously. As a result, you must clean the tent before putting it away for the season. If at all possible, wash the tent and allow it to dry naturally. If there is no chance of that happening, you can wipe or towel the area to remove any debris that may have accumulated there.
Before folding the tent, check to see that it is completely dry. You should also inspect the area to determine if there are any stakes or extra layers that you need to pull out. After you have completed the previous steps, you can go to the following stage.

This will let the air from the interior of the tent to escape, making it easier for you to fold the tent when you are through. After that, you may fold the tent to form an oval shape using your hands. Take hold of the tent’s back, since you will be starting your journey from there. Bring the rear pole to the center pole, and then put it back where it belongs. If you find it difficult to do so, you can use one hand to grip the rear pole while the other hand grabs a hold of the center pole to make it easier.
If there is any lingering air in the tent, make sure to get it out as soon as possible after closing it.
Step 3 – Lift and rotate the tent
When you have the tent poles in your hands, it should be quite simple to hoist the tent. It would be beneficial if you placed it on the side, so that it stands vertically. Make certain that you have a tight grasp on the tent throughout the day.
Step 4 – Fold and slide the rings
You should then reach your hand towards the top of the tent and draw it as near as you possibly can to your feed once you have it in a vertical position. Because it will be on the ground, it should be easier to manage the folded tent at this point in the process. Next, you should examine the two circles that are part of thetent frame to ensure that they are not broken. They should be overlapping at all times. It is recommended that you stack the rings on top of one another. After you’ve finished, the tent will take on the shape of a huge circle.
Step 5 – Bag the tent
Using an elastic band, which should be included with your tent, you can keep the tent in a folded position. This will make it much easier for you to pack up the tent and store it in the bag. After you’ve completed these steps, your tent will be ready to be packed into your car or bag.
How to Fold a Pop-up Tent into A Circle?
Most pop-up tents can be folded into a circle because of the way they are designed. When planning a camping vacation, pop-up tents are a terrific option to have on hand in case you want to retire for the night. It only takes a minute to get them up and running! It’s necessary to fold your tent after spending the night inside, and I propose that you fold it into a circle. To accomplish this, begin by thoroughly washing and air drying the tent. Then take off all of your excess layers, as well as any items that may have been in them.
Turn the tent to one side after you’ve got the top poles in your hands.
Next, the tent would be sealed with a rope or something similar.
If your tent is circular in form, you will likely find zippers around the poles that may be zipped together to close the tent.
As a result, if your tent is equipped with zippers, use them to close it. Make certain that you are not grasping onto the fabric with the zipper because this might cause harm to it. Take special care when packaging the package!
How Do You Fold A Big Pop-Up Tent?

You could even discover that there is enough room in there to store your bags as well! The only difference between folding a conventional pop-up tent and folding a large pop-up tent is that you may want assistance with the latter. If you are having difficulty folding your tent, do not hesitate to ask for assistance from your friends or another camper.
That is all there is to it.
How To Fold A 4 Sided Pop-Up Tent?
4-sided pop-up tents are often a little bigger in size than normal pop-up tents of this type. While folding this sort of tent may prove more challenging, it is not impossible! This sort of tent can have two doors, however it is most commonly found with only one. When you intend on folding it, make sure to keep the door open to ensure that nothing gets stuck within. Due to the fact that this is a four-sided tent, it will have four poles. When folding it, you should grip the four poles together and allow all of the air to escape while continuing to hold on to the object.
It is possible that you may have to pull, but it should not be too difficult.
After that, you may either bag your tent or leave it in its current state and store it immediately.

How to Fold Pop Up Tents
Step one is to thoroughly clean the tent. Using a broom or brush, remove any dirt or debris from the tent’s interior. If the tent has been discolored or muddied, clean it with a damp sponge or moist cloth dipped in water and mild soap to remove the stains. Step 2: Allow the tent to dry or air out. Allow the tent to dry completely before packing it up, especially if it has been rained on or if it has been damp from the cleaning you have done. After an hour of airing out, if it’s not dirty or wet, put it back in its place before packing it away.
- Step 3: Untether the tent from its moorings.
- If your tent comes with a tarp or secondary covering for sun and rain protection, remove it from the tent, fold it up, and place it in the bag with the rest of your belongings.

Step 1: Choose an oval or a circle as your form. Place yourself at the entrance to the beach tent. Grab the edges of the front arch with both hands. One side should be pushed towards the center. The tent will begin to close in on itself as you go in this manner. As you bring the other side up on top of it, keep one side firmly planted on the ground. This left-over-right or right-over-left movement should result in a large or oval circle at the end of the movement. Step 2: Form it into a figure-eight configuration.
- Apply pressure to the upper edge of the ring.
- Fix the figurine to the ground with a stake.
- The next step is to join the two circles that are next to one another to form a mini-circle.

Sleeping in the tent was a fantastic experience for me. The top portion, which keeps the poles in place, was, however, missing. In order to keep things together, I used electrical tape.

How to Fold a Pop Up Tent Into a Circle?
If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of setting up traditional tents on your hiking or camping vacation, pop-up tents are an ideal alternative. When compared to traditional tents, pop-up tents need less time and effort to put up. The fact that you can set up your shelter fast and simply is what makes a pop-up tent so appealing to many people. It’s as simple as unzipping the bag, pulling the tent out, and tossing it into the air. Your pop-up tent will be ready to use as soon as it is delivered.
If you don’t fold your pop-up tents correctly, they will not fit in your backpack.
Before we get started on the folding process, let’s have a look at how to put up a pop-up tent.
How to Set Up a Pop-Up Tent
Because of the ease with which pop-up tents may be set up, they are becoming increasingly popular. They are small, lightweight, and portable, and despite their small size, they are actually rather large inside. Here’s how to set up a pop-up tent in minutes, with no tools necessary.
Location
First and foremost, you must choose an appropriate site for your pop-up tent. Then, be certain that you adhere to all of the rules and regulations that apply to your campsite. While it comes to pop-up tents, seek for a flat place on the ground that is higher than the surrounding region when setting up your tent. When it rains, your pop-up tent will not be flooded, ensuring that it remains dry. Furthermore, sleeping on a level surface is far more comfortable than lying on slop. Furthermore, avoid putting your pop-up tent below any trees if at all possible.
Take Out the Tent
Before removing the pop-up tent from its bag, make sure the area where you intend to set up the tent is clean. Remove any rocks, pebbles, dirt, sticks, or other sharp things that might damage the fabric of your tent before setting up your tent. You won’t be able to sleep properly in your tent until you clean the surface space beforehand. Following completion of the cleaning, it is time to remove the pop-up tent from its storage bag. Remove the restraining band from the pop-up tent bag and gently toss the tent on the freshly cleaned ground area you just finished cleaning.
Securing the Tent
Now that your pop-up tent is open on the ground, you may arrange the tent’s entrance in the location that you choose. If you have to set up your tent on a sloped or uneven terrain, make sure the entrance of your tent is facing downhill to avoid flooding in the event of a rainstorm. Finally, it’s time to anchor your pop-up tent to the ground so that it doesn’t move about. If the pop-up tent is constructed normally, you would discover loops at either end of the tent, which you would use as a peghole to fix the tent.
The majority of pop-up tents are equipped with a guyrope, which is used to anchor the tent to the ground. Because it is an adjustable rope, you may use it to anchor your pop-up tent to the ground if there is a lack of available space.

Once you have the tent in your hands and are ready to begin folding it, having the front door (entry) facing you will make it easier to begin folding.
Step 2:
Afterwards, using one hand, pull one side of the tent’s central poles until they are straight up in the air, and then hoist that end over your head and onto the other shoulder.
Step 3:
Once you’ve finished, take both ends of the same pole and fold (twist) them back into position. Repeat these procedures for each leg of your pop-up tent to complete the folding process!
