Please help a poor damsel in distress.

Just erected my new Montana 6, did it in about 30 minutes - it looked great until I went inside.  I seem to have more groundsheet than I should. 

From the outside the sides/roof are tight - the black skirt in line with the ground.  But on the inside I have great big lumps of groundsheet as it is not laying flat.  If I pull out the front so the groundsheet is flat - then the bottom of the front doorway is at least 1.5 foot of the ground.

Any advice greatly appreciated as I have nearly ran out of hair to pull out.

Thanks

I hate to see damsels in distress so I've bumped you back to the top so hopefully someone (more capable of helping said damsel) will be along to answer your question. We have the same tent but haven't experienced this problem.

the ground is not level, we had that the front was on high ground and the middle was in like a trough so it made the door up in the air, all we did was to slacken off the tensioners either side and let it flop, nowt you can do about the ground but you could instead not pitch it level let it twist and follow the lie of the ground, ok it looks odd to the eye but the tent will be reasonable flat inside albeit cockeyed.

anyone who plays golf can tell you that flat dont mean flat grass decives the eye unless its very very short.
