How to Set Up the Oztent Jet Tent Gazebo with Walls

Quick Answer

Set up the Oztent Jet Tent Gazebo with walls in under 10 minutes by first staking the frame, then attaching the walls and mesh panels in the correct order.

Setup Steps

1. Choose a Level Spot and Orient the Gazebo: Unfold the Jet Tent Pro Gazebo frame on flat ground. Face the main opening away from prevailing wind. Extend each leg fully and lock the frame into place. Check that all leg locks click fully to avoid collapse.
2. Stake the Frame: Drive the supplied stakes through the leg base loops at a 45-degree angle away from the gazebo. Use all four corners before moving on. On hard ground, use a mallet and avoid staking directly downward—angled stakes hold better in wind.
3. Attach the Rear Wall: Unfold the solid rear wall and align the zipper with the rear frame pole. Start zipping from the bottom center outward to each corner. Smooth the fabric as you go to prevent bunching. If the zipper jams, stop and back up slightly—forcing it can damage the teeth.
4. Add Side Walls: Attach the left and right solid walls using the same bottom-center-to-corners zipping method. For ventilation, swap one solid wall for a mesh wall on the leeward side. Mesh walls zip the same way as solid walls; store unused panels in the included bag to keep them clean.
5. Install the Front Wall or Leave Open: If using the front wall, zip it on last. For a more open setup, leave the front wall off and use the mesh wall as a bug screen. Secure any loose panel ties to the frame. A fully enclosed gazebo traps heat—open the front or use mesh walls on warm days.
6. Tension and Adjust: Walk around the gazebo and tighten all webbing straps on the walls and frame. Adjust leg heights slightly if the floor is uneven. Re-stake any loose corners. Tighten straps evenly to avoid distorting the frame shape.
