Learn how to install and set up the Oztent Eyre Front Panel. Step-by-step instructions to attach, zip, and secure the panel for bug-free camping.
Quick Answer
To install the Eyre Front Panel, zip it to the front of your awning after the Peaked Side Panels are in place. The panel offers a large screened area and a drop-down canvas cover for rain protection.
Before You Begin: Check Compatibility
The Eyre Front Panel is designed to work with the Peaked Side Panels. It zips directly to the front of the awning, creating a fully enclosed space. Make sure you have the side panels installed first, as the front panel attaches to them.
What to Expect from the Panel
The panel features a large screened area with a zippered door made from superfine insect mesh. This keeps bugs out while letting air flow through. A drop-down zippered canvas panel provides rain protection when needed. You can also use the drop-down panel as an extra awning with additional poles (not included).
Step-by-Step Installation
- Step 1: Attach the Peaked Side Panels: Set up your awning and zip the Peaked Side Panels to each side. Ensure they are fully secured before moving to the front panel. The front panel won't fit properly if the side panels are loose or misaligned.
- Step 2: Align the Front Panel: Hold the Eyre Front Panel so the zipper track aligns with the zipper on the front edge of the side panels. Start at one corner and work your way across. Check that the zipper is not twisted before you start—this prevents jams.
- Step 3: Zip the Panel into Place: Zip the front panel fully to the side panels. Close the zippered door on the mesh screen if you want to keep bugs out. For rain, unzip the mesh door and lower the canvas drop-down panel. If rain is expected, lower the canvas panel before going to bed so you don't have to do it in the dark.
