"Alright so once again this is for the REI Quarterdome UL. For putting on the rainfly it is fairly easy but it is really important because if you get the rainfly on wrong you're going to be really really wet at night. So what you're going to want to do is make sure that the rainfly is right side out because if it is inside out, like the inside is a lot more delicate and can tear more easily than the outside so it is also less waterproof because on the outside there are these flaps that cover up the zippers, that is how you can see if it is on the right side or not. If it is inside out you are going to have water pouring in through the zippers so make sure it is right side out and then also if you see right here there is this mesh part on the inside of this tent there is actually a flap where you can open it up and you can have a little bit of ventilation going through the tent so that is how you know which part goes on the front and which part goes on the back. So this flap is going to go over the part that has the mesh. So you are going to want to take one end of the tent or fly or the rainfly and just pull it up over the tent and it basically fits over the entire tent so that you can't get any water in at all and then on my tent including with most tents there is going to be some way that you can attach it to the actual tent itself or you can clip it into place and that is how you set up the rainfly on the REI Quarterdome UL."
