Hello all, our new tent arrived and my other half and his mate are trying to put it up, one snag, no instructions came with it!!! Its a hertford 9 berth, its basically got 3 pods, what they want to know, is that there are 4 ground sheet type things and then the tent itself, do they put the ground sheet things down first or do they put the tent outer up and then work the inner bits in, we are very amateur at this and dont know where to start, thanks, Nicky xx

I would suggest that you put the outer up first. The ground sheets should however be shaped to fit, this will help to indicate if the "erection" is correct.

Hi there I agree with Fat Belly. You put the fly sheet up first, then put the bedroom pods up and, then lay the ground sheet. Should be quite easy really. Let us know how you get on.

Sounds like Halford's rebadge of the Gelert Satellite - you should find some instrcutions on that tent and it should match.

re: the gorundsheets, yep I as said above - put them down last.

Nicky Is It Hertford Or Outwell HARTFORD XXL which would be inner tent first followed by Outer. Look up Outwell website they have set up vids if its a HERTFORD its your guess is as good as mine Ta Ta 4 Now
