the width is going to be slighlty less than 210+400+210 so 8m would be the bare minimum

length is 240+360+210 which is just over 8m.

These don't take account of guying but on a tent of this style you wouldn't need to add much to the width but would probably add to the length.

10mx10m would therefore be adequate. 8mx10m would be the minimum I would say. I don't see that you'd get it on an 8mx8m pitch.

   I suppose you could always park the car in the tent, 'cos there ain't gonna be room on the pitch outside!...
