pitched ours for the first time last weekend.  It took slightly longer than we anticipated, lots of pegging out to do.  But loved the end result.  We had to endure 100mph winds (or felt like that!) plus downpours to match, didnt sleep much but the monty certainly stood up to it all.  Cant wait to go away 22/7 to Pentewan sands.  Found the side porch great as a toilet tent for our little ones, and managed to pack it back into the bag without too much effort!

let us know how you go on.

We found it quite difficult to get all the arches up, they didnt want to go in the pin at all!  I,m sure however that with practice it will get easier. So many other who have the Monty dont appear to have any probs.

good luck

The Montana 6 is a fantastic tent and soooo easy to pitch. The quality is superb and we have used it plenty already this year so we are getting very good at pitching and taking down. We can even get it back in the bag first time now. We found the best way to pitch as follows:

When the full tent is layed out flat, insert the cross section poles in the rear of the tent first. Then insert the sides to this part and lift up. At this point, peg out the guy ropes at the rear, this will hold the tent in place while you move on to the next cross section and side poles, pegging out the guys each time you lift up the section. It gets easier as you go along, and then all you need to do is tighten/slacken all guy ropes. We can get ours up in about 40 mins, and that includes the canopy, which by the way I can recommend. The canopy really sets this tent off and looks very stylish and is great to sit under.

If anyone wants any more info on the Outwell Montana, feel free to ask.
