Learn the step-by-step process to set up the Land Station M Pro Air Shelter, including inflation, anchoring, and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick Answer
Set up the Land Station M Pro Air Shelter by laying it flat, inflating the beams in the correct order, and securing all anchor points before adjusting the tension.
Why the Land Station M Pro Air Stands Out
The Land Station M Pro Air is an inflatable shelter that eliminates the need for traditional poles, making setup faster and more intuitive. Its inflatable beams create a stable structure that can withstand windy conditions when properly anchored.
Unlike pole-based tents, the air frame requires careful attention to inflation order and pressure. Over-inflating can stress the seams, while under-inflating leaves the shelter floppy and less wind-resistant.
Choosing the Right Spot
Before unrolling the shelter, survey the ground for levelness and clear it of sharp objects. The Land Station M Pro Air's footprint is generous, so ensure you have enough space for the fully inflated dimensions.
Consider the wind direction. Orient one of the three entry points away from prevailing winds to minimize flapping and keep the interior comfortable.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Unroll and Position: Unroll the shelter on a clean, level area. Orient the main entry away from prevailing wind. Ensure all guy lines and straps are untangled. Check the ground for sharp objects before unrolling.
- Inflate the Beams: Attach the pump to the main inflation valve and begin inflating. Follow the order indicated on the beams (usually center first, then sides). Stop when the beam feels firm but not rock-hard. Do not over-inflate; a firm but slightly pliable beam is correct.
- Secure the Anchor Points: Insert stakes through all designated loops at the corners and along the edges. Use a 45-degree angle away from the shelter for maximum hold. Stake every loop, not just the corners, to prevent wind lift.
- Adjust Tension and Guy Lines: Tighten the guy lines to remove slack but avoid pulling so hard that the beams deform. Adjust the main front door's side panels to your preferred awning configuration. Re-check tension after a few minutes; fabric settles and lines may need re-tightening.
Product Facts
- Fubi: The Fubi is a multi-room modular shelter with an angled front side, offering an unobstructed view of the natural scenery around you. If you value scenic views and modular flexibility, the Fubi provides a different shelter option, though it uses a pole structure rather than an air frame.
