I own a wenzel pine crest tent that is twenty years old.I have no manual.It is a 4 to 6 man tent.I think I have all of the poles,some marked red,blue and yellow and 4 other poles which do not seem to fit on anything.When I put the colored poles together they form 3 large u shaped poles with one being a little bit smaller thgan the other 2.there are3 sets of loops on the top of the tent for these poles.I do not know which pole I should put in which loop or how to stand them up .

They seem to make a few models. There are videos and text articles, but the best thing is to lay out the tent base, make up the poles and work it out. Peg the 4 corners of the tent, then it depends on the type of tent, but ridge pole in next, then the apex poles at the end, and then lift up on the legs. The peg in all the guy ropes and tighten.

No, I did not see one by that name.

Hello -

I have found some instructions online with directions on assembling a Wenzel tent. However, none of them are clear is they are for the Swiss Gear tent style 36288.

See these instructions:
http://campingexpertguides.blogspot.com/2016/06/classic-wenzel-camping-tents-assembly.html

If you have not already done so, I suggest you contact the Wenzel Tent & Gear Co. directly and ask a Customer Service representative about the availability of assembly instructions for your Wenzel tent style. The company may hold instructions in the corporate archives which can be copied (for a fee) for you.

This is the link to the Wenzel Tent & Gear Co. Contact Us page:

If you choose to make a telephone call, I suggest you do so during weekday business hours (Mountain Time).

Best wishes.

I didn't see anything at all with a Google search.

Try contacting manufacturer, Wenzel.

I believe I have the same Ridgeway tent - over 20 years old. Red-, Blue- and Green-labeled poles. Best setup will require at least 2 persons. Here is a quick guide to setup:

1. First, stake the tent floor down making sure it is taut.

2. Center poles are labeled with Blue dots. There are 3 separate poles that fit through the center channel - 1 straight pole with 'male' connectors on each end (this will be in the middle), and 2 poles with curved 'female' ends. The curved ends need to slip through the center loops (there's a 'hook' to hold the loop). The center upright poles consist of a bottom pole (which should have a cap on one end and an adjustable ring on the other) and a 2-piece snap pole (with grooves on one end). Make sure to slip the pole with the grooves through the adjust ring (this will allow adjusting the height of the center of the tent). There are also 2 strings at the center of the tent about a foot above the ground. Tie these strings around the upright center pole to ensure that the center upright pole doesn't separate too far from the tent.

3. Poles with Red dots are for the ends of the tent. There is a curved 2-piece snap pole that slips through the end channel. Then, you have a 3-piece straight snap pole that attaches to each side of the curved pole. The bottom end of the straight pole should be placed about a 1.5 feet from the bottom of the center pole (at about a 45-degree angle). The door ends are essentially 'leaning' outward from the center.

4. Poles with Green dots are for the extended door cover on the large door side. These are 2 snap poles with ends that fit through the grommet holes of the cover.

We don't use our tent very often, but my son just took it camping and it was a breeze to set up. If you still have the plastic stakes, I would recommend replacing those with metal stakes, as the plastic stakes break easily. Also, you may need to find a rain fly that fits the tent.

It is likely to be difficult to impossible. Expect that it might be fairly expensive. Contact Kelty at:

Me too! Did you ever find new poles?

the 2 longest of the poles go in an x over the center of the tent and the 2 shorter ones go arch to the sides. http://www.wenzelco.com/details.aspx?NavID=412
shows a picture very similar to your tent. If you go to image 2 it shows it with out the fly. now if you got 2 sets of 4 poles, 2 long and 2 short, and one set is all aluminum, then I would go with the aluminum set. It is less likely to collapse in high winds.

Take a look on amazon for replacement. here: Amazon com tent poles. I hope this was helpful. Cheers
