Our Vango Aspen is quite high and we are both short, we found that if we pull the fly sheet back and forth while we are 'walking it' along the length of the tent it just slides over easily. Hope this helps Bloodfairy.

hi

we carry two of these, as we had the same problem,http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=4501&langId=-1&searchTerms=8503413&go.x=15&go.y=11.

A tip is to put 2 pegs in to stop the whole thing following over, just hook the poles over two pegging points and walk to the back of the tent.

The poles double as spare porch poles etc if like us you dont have them to use front door as canopy

Not sure but how about getting two poles from the door way (if you have them and useing them in the pegging points pull it over?

Or tie a piece of line to the end and throw it over first

sorry Im not really a help am I
