Another novice question, on one website one of the conditions is to lift the awning groundsheet every other day or so.

  I'm not sure I understand what that means? help

  I am imagining lifting the tent groundsheet please tell me I'm wrong, as it is a sig so that would mean unpegging it all.

Hi Tanya.fold ground sheet back halfway,nextday or two fold the other half back,it stops the grass from dying. No need if you have modern ground sheet with millions of tiny holes in it.

We are going to one site for two weeks, how do we lift it when we have a sewn in groundsheet? and its a big tent.

Sorry if I am being a bit thick

I couldn't imagine having to move the whole tent to save a bit of grass that I have paid rent for.  The grass will grow back green anyway, I don't see why you should have to do this.  Surely the camp site expects some yellowing in the grass.

I think I have seen a condition of some sites that units with SIG will have to move pitch after 7 days continuous use to save the grass.

I'm sorry I can't remember where but it was when I was looking for sites earlier in the year when I had a Haven 600.
