We've been receiving a lot of complaints about Greatland here on this website. They have zero customer service. In fact, if you want to call them or contact them. It's like they don't exist. Break a pole and your tent is done for because they do NOT even offer replacement parts.

1975 8'x12' Western Field tent set up. NI would guess that there are many different models of Montgomery Ward Western Field tent. NI just set up a large (8'x12') tent from 1975 with a total of sixteen aluminum pole segments. NLay the tent out on the ground. You'll need a good eight feet of room in front of the tent for the awning and the awning ropes, but you won't need any room behind or to the side of the tent for ropes.
NThe poles include: nSix vaguely hockey-stick shaped segments which fit together to form three /- shaped poles. One pole is slightly shorter than the other two. NTwo rubber-footed extendable poles. NFour spike-ended extendable poles.
NFour narrow pole segments become two awning poles. NYou will also need nine large tent stakes and two ropes of at least ten feet each.
NFour stakes for the corners. One spike for the center of the rear and side walls, and two spikes to secure the ropes used for the awning.
NMake sure all the extendable poles are collapsed as far as they can go. NPut the hockey-stick segments through the four loops each along the right and left top corners of the tent. Attach the spike-ended extendable poles to them and put the spike-end of the poles through the grommets attached to the tent floor halfway between the center door zipper and the left-and-right ends of the tent. The same placement is on the rear of the tent.
Do NOT extend the poles yet. NThis is really tricky to do - the poles tend to flop this way and that.
There's a reason this sort of tent was supplanted with dome tents. NAfter the exterior poles are in place, put the center pole in place. There are a few ties along the ceiling to attach to the pole. NThe three poles end up looking vaguely like this when viewed from the front or rear of the tent: / Needless to say, I'd rather upload a picture than resort to ascii-art.
NOnce all the pole are in place, extend the poles until the tent takes shape. The closer the tent gets to being finished, the easier it becomes. Once the tent is properly shaped, put the narrower awning poles vertically and secure them with the awning and light rope tied to the stakes. Ndless to say, I'd rather upload a picture than resort to ascii-art. NIf you email me at dpriven at yahoo dot 'com' I'll email some photos of my 1975 tent to you.
That may help. Unpacking Ensure that when you pull out all the items out of the tent bag that you neatly place them separately so that you don't confused and that everything is laid out in front of you, not on top of each other. Depending on what type of tent you are using you should have: a.
Inner tent b. Outer tent c. Tent poles d.
Hammer (or hard rock for hammering in the pegs) Setting up the Inner tent Place the four corners (depending on your tent) down and spread them out so that the base part of the tent is on the ground. Peg out each corner of your tent, by pegging each opposite corner, then finishing on the other corners and if there are any central peg points as well. Poles Snap together your poles and ensure that you know which poles are for each section of your tent. Carefully run your poles through your inner tent and snap through the pole eyelet in each corner. Your tent should be taking shape now. Outer Tent Pull the outer tent over the inner tent and clip the outer tent to the tent poles. Incredimail.
Then pull out the outer tent and peg out as far as possible to ensure there is distance between the inner and outer tent, to ensure that any water doesn't make your inner wet. Again start at one corner and then peg out the opposite corner then the other central points. Also there may be other guy ropes on the side of your tent that you can peg down or tie to near by trees to make you nights sleep a little more stable. Tent Zippers Make sure once you have set up your tent and place all your items inside that you zip up all entrance and exit points so that no insects get in to make for a relaxed mozzie free night. I've used this tent for many years now. It's pretty easy to assemble.

Stretch the entire tent out first. Assemble all the poles. The three long ones are used to support the 3 rooms.
The short pole is for the rainfly. Slide each long pole through the sleeve on each side room (one at a time of course). Straighten out the four poles that support the main room of the tent. Slide each end of the main poles into the square portion of the base. To unhook the poles when taking the tent down, squeeze the ends together and slide back out through the square portion of the base.
Now, place the pin on the ring that's on the base into the long pole. This will form the support for each of the rooms. Even though it seems the poles will break, they will not. They will bend. Hook each of the little hooks to the poles to help hold up the side room roof. Use a mallet or hammer to drive a stake through each loop on the outside of the tent and round part of the plastic base.
(The plastic stakes eventually break or the ground is too hard. Keep some metal stakes available.) Stretch out the rainfly over the top of the tent. Words go over the door. Use the shorter pole and place across the top of the tent and slide into little pockets provided. It is very water-resistant. If it rains, don't touch the tent. That will cause the water to leak through.

Stretch the four sides down and attach each hook to the loop on the plastic base. The room dividers fit inside to provide privacy for each room of the tent. Just slip each peg into the circle.
Both sides are the same size. It also helps to lay a tarp out before putting the tent on the ground.
Provides a nicer surface for walking while inside the tent. Hope this helps. I am looking for a manual for Greatland Outdoors 2 room tent with screen porch item #15710, however, I guessed how the poles go together. I set up the tent by myself, but I recommend 2 people or more, especially if it is windy. Start by stretching out the bottom of the tent into a square, and stake all of the perimeter tentloops to the ground, starting with the corners, with the stakes directed at a 30 to 45 degree angle under the tent, so the tent cannot easily pull them back out. Leave the yellow cords attached to the tentloops loose, so you can use the cords to help pull up the stakes when you take down the tent.
Now assemble the poles going through the loops across the front of the screen porch. Insert one end of a pole #1 into a pole #2 and thread them through the loops over the entrance to the screen porch. Put the long end of a curved pole #3 through the loops starting from one side, and attach to either side of the 1/#2 you made. Put the long end of another #3 through the loops starting from the other side and attach to the loose end of the #1/#2. You should tie the loose green cords on each corner of the screen porch to the silver metal rings at the curved end of each #3. Later, you will do the exact same assembly with a #3 on each side of a #1/#2 for the poles going across the back of the tent and the poles going through the pocket across the middle/top of the tent. Now insert the small end of pole #4 into the curved end of a #3, then insert the small end of a #5 into the open end of the #4.
There should be a rubber foot on the bottom of the #5 pole. Do the same thing for the other side of the porch. With help, you should be able to prop up the front of the screen porch, pulling against the stakes holding the rear floor of the tent, and place the rubber feet of the #5 poles close to the center loops of the floor on each side. Now prepare the #1/#2 poles for the rear, and attach a #3 to each side and tie the loose green cords to the silver rings on the short ends of the #3s. Prepare a #4/#5 pole the same as the front, and prop up the back of the tent, putting the feet near the side loops of the floor which are about 1/3 from the rear of the tent. Make another #1/#2/#3, and push it through the pocket across the middle of the tent, and connect the last #3 from the other side. The side supports for the middle are pole #8 with the white clamp on the bottom, and pole #7 slid into pole #8 (The #7 was scraped off both of mine).
Leave the #7 mostly inserted into the #8 until after the center is lifted up. The #6 goes on top of #7, and insert the #6 into the curved end of the #3 poles which are already in the center pocket, and tie the loose green cords to the silver rings at the short end on each of the #3s. Now lift up the center with someone helping on the other side, and put the feet of the #8 into or near the yellow loops at the center of each side. Loosen the white clamps and extend the #7 poles until the peak of the tent is at proper height. Move the feet of the #5 poles closer to the tent, until all is tight, and you should be done!
