Hi my sister has just bought a second hand tent ,when we were erecting it there was no instructions we got it up ok but i think we must have put it up the wrong way as the floor seemed to be off the floor and the tent itself just didnt look right,is there a way to do it ie do you put the pegs in first(its a sewn in groundsheet) thanks for any advice.

I'm prob not the best person to give advice having not actually made my 1st trip yet but...

We have a dome tent with sewn in ground sheet (Vango Diablo 900) that pitches inner 1st.  The Vango website (www.vango.co.uk) has pitching videos.  May be worth you having a look even if yours isn't a Vango - you may get some idea.

Good luck with it!

Not sure of the make but the poles fit together and bend over the outside of the tent.
