Hi, we have a Kalahari 10 but only pitched it once. There's a previous thread that might be helpful, the Gelert Meridian 10 is the same tent as the Kalahari 10.
hi ive got the kalahari 8 tent and its very easy to put up all the poles r the same size so it does not matter where they go we lie them on the floor thread them through then lift the hole thing up together
We've got the 8, same tent only smaller.
We tried a few different ways but found one way that was easier and stuck with it.
Put all 5 poles together and lay them out, imagine them numbered 1-2-3-4-5, put in the middle pole(number 3) and insert it into the 2 pins so the middle of the tent is pitched.
Then do pole number 2, 4, 1 and 5(hope that makes sense).
Then one of us would be setting up the bedroom pods as the other makes their way round sorting all the pegging points and guy ropes. Taking down is just in reverse, pole 5 first, then 1, 2, 4 and lastly the middle pole number 3.
It takes us about 30/35 mins to do from start to finish. It's the beds/tables/units that take the most time for us.
Wanting instructions please about what poles go where as bought this tent of marketplace and wasn’t sure if there all same size poles or not befor I get there to put it up
