We have a Vango peace 500 teepee and a vango family shelter.

I want to set them up together something like this setup, but I'm not sure how to fix the tarp to the top of the teepee as it isn't s "through" pole with a spike and there is no loop or anything to attach to. Any suggestions?
thanks

Hi you could use an A pole for the end of the tarp over the apex of the tent and guy it to the ground at the rear of the tent
Then just use a single pole at the front as in the pic.
Another way to hold your tarp over the apex of the tent would be to just lay the tarp over the top of the tent where the pole is with a piece of foam rubber between the tarp and tent to save the tarp rubbing through the tent this method is used on some of the Vaude tents between inner tent and flysheet.
Hope this helps you out

Thank you :)

I have an old Juno which is similar to your peace. When I use a tarp with it, all I do is simply drape one end past the apex & peg at the back then the front end is secured with poles or trees, whichever is to hand.
