Quote: Originally posted by Mucker1884 on 22/8/2015On our previous canopy, without any groundsheet, I pegged mine out. As it didn't have eyelets or similar, I used Clingons, pegged directly. As it was the first time I'd done it (early in my camping career) I'd probably now advise a short bit of guy or elastic in between, but it worked well, to be fair...
However, I guess I reached the conclusion that it either didn't matter, or I just couldn't be bothered, as subsequent camps I just left them draped loose inside...
The additional front canopy on our Frinton has these flaps. There's no mention of their purpose in the instructions, and after reading this thread I'm still not convinced either way.
If they were designed to be pegged out, like Mucker's first photo - why do they not have pegging points? That seems odd, bearing in mind the massive amount of pegging points & guy ropes elsewhere on this outfit...
However, the INSIDE of these flaps have green loops sewn in - no elastic, though. Here's a photo of the flap tucked inwards:
Anyway, I've always just tucked them in, and have never felt that we've suffered any ill effects from doing so. If you cover them or weigh them down with anything, they act as a "draught excluder", which is always a handy thing when you're sitting outside.

That Mucker chap and his tents always look so presentable don't they?
That's because whenever he wants to take a photograph for the forum, he orders the entire family to tidy up (according to his exact specifications) and then keep out of shot!
