mtnGLO Tent Gear Lofts: What Fits and How to Hang Them

Start with the loops inside your Big Agnes tent

The mtnGLO® Tent Gear Loft is designed to hook onto the loops in your Big Agnes tent, so the first step is simply finding those attachment points. Once you locate the loops, hanging the loft is a matter of clipping or hooking it into place—no tools or permanent modifications required.

Because the product record only confirms compatibility with Big Agnes tents that have these loops, check your tent’s interior before ordering. If you don’t see loops, the loft may not be the right accessory for your shelter.

What the gear loft includes

• mtnGLO® Tent Gear Lofts: Hooks onto the loops in your Big Agnes tent. This is the core installation method: match the loft to your tent’s existing loops.

  

• mtnGLO® Tent Gear Lofts: Features mtnGLO® tent light technology. The loft integrates with mtnGLO lighting, so you can keep small items visible and within reach after dark.
• mtnGLO® Tent Gear Lofts: Lightweight design. A lightweight loft adds storage without adding noticeable weight to your pack.

Triangle or Wall: choose the shape that suits your tent

The loft comes in two shapes: Triangle and Wall. The right choice depends on where your tent’s loops are located and how much overhead space you want to use.

• Triangle: A triangular loft typically fits into corner or angled loop arrangements. It’s a good option when your tent’s attachment points form a triangle or when you want a compact overhead pocket.
• Wall: A wall-style loft runs along a more linear set of loops, often near the head or foot of the tent. Choose this shape if your tent has loops arranged in a row rather than a triangle.

How to hang your mtnGLO gear loft

The exact attachment method depends on your tent’s loop style, but the general process is straightforward. Follow these steps to get the loft secured and ready for use.

1. Locate the interior loops: Look for the small loops sewn into the ceiling or upper walls of your Big Agnes tent. These are the designated attachment points.
2. Match the loft shape to the loop pattern: Hold the Triangle or Wall loft up to the loops to see which orientation fits naturally. The loft should sit level without forcing the fabric.
3. Hook the loft onto the loops: Attach the loft’s hooks or clips to the tent loops one by one. Work from one side to the other to keep tension even.
4. Check stability and clearance: Gently press down on the loft to confirm it stays put. Make sure it doesn’t interfere with doors, vents, or your sleeping area.

Tent loft storage tips for a clutter-free camp

• Keep it light: Store only small, lightweight items like a headlamp, glasses, or a phone. Overloading the loft can strain the attachment points and affect tent stability.
• Use the mtnGLO light to your advantage: The integrated mtnGLO technology means your gear stays visible at night without fumbling for a flashlight. Place frequently used items near the light for easy access.
• Balance the load: If you’re using a Wall loft, distribute items evenly along its length. For a Triangle loft, place heavier items toward the center for better balance.
• Check compatibility before you buy: The loft is designed for Big Agnes tents with loops. If your tent lacks loops, this accessory won’t attach as intended.

What the catalog doesn’t tell you

The supplied product record does not include specific care instructions, weight limits, or exact compatibility with every Big Agnes model. For those details, consult your tent’s documentation or the manufacturer’s guidelines. The evidence here confirms the loft hooks onto loops and features mtnGLO lighting, but it doesn’t list every tent model that includes those loops.

If you’re unsure whether your tent has the required loops, check the interior before purchasing. The loft is a simple, lightweight add-on, but it relies on those attachment points.
