I wondered if anyone had a copy of this...as you probably are aware, we had A LOT of problems, trying to get it up a few weeks ago, we would love to be able to whip it up nice and quickly next week at Glasto!

(I did get the clip on bits for the poles, someone helpfully showed me on here!)

do you have the room to lay the bars out at home? if so then just do that to see how it all goes together ,and maybe just colour code them in a way you can see how it all goes together when on site, best bet i would say is to zip the awning on first, attatch your poles then pull over the awning and adjust the poles to the correct tension or what seems to be right to you, it's a tad fiddly at times but you'll get it right in the end[.... and as i was going by the Pilton site this week it 's all coming together, fencing everywhere!!.... enjoy.....[and pray for some decent weather

Yes, zip on the awning first .... then throw it over the main frame/tent of your FC ...
Then build the awning frame.
When built, pull the awning over it, and adjust the frame to create a taught awning.
It will be a bit fiddly at first, but once you've done it half a dozen times you'll get it down to a tee.
Everybody finds it a challenge the first couple of times!

That's ok then, thought it was just us! To be honest it was in gale force winds, and half the campsite came to help us, as I nearly blown over many a time! Obviously the weather at Glastonbury is going to be amazing, so the only problem I forsee this year, is my potential heat stroke, if it takes a long time going up

!!!

We couldn't attach the 'middle'poles last time, as couldn't work out 'how' to attach, but like I said the helpful person suggested we needed the clippy things, which I have now ordered!

Thanks for your replies...I love this site!

Hi there, we've got a set of instructions for this awning, if you give me your email I'll scan them in and send you a copy. We've got the hang of putting this up now but the first time was a nightmare. My husband thought he was really clever as he'd saved a pole! He almost ended up wearing it! We find it easier to zip the awning on first and then put the poles in.
