Q: What is the standard service life of a qualified emergency relief tent?

- Unfold the tent base fabric on flat, dry ground, remove all sharp objects within 1m of the deployment area to avoid fabric punctures
- Insert the pre-connected fiberglass or aluminum support poles into the edge sleeves, lock the top connection buckle to form the main frame structure
- Tighten all 12 fixed ground pegs with a 45-degree angle to the ground, pull the wind ropes evenly to ensure no loose sag on any tent surface
