Hi

Just brought above tent last week put it up quickly to see if all ok the only problem i encountered was getting the fly sheet over i am only  5ft 2 and had dificulty getting it high enough wondered if anbody had any useful tips on doing this easily Thanks in advance

hi

we carry two of these http://www.focusdiy.co.uk/invt/25297, hook them on two peg loops and walk flysheet over at each end, remember to put a couple of pegs in front to stop the whole thing following over.

We have also used these in past as temp flag poles, makeshift washing lines, propping up porch doors ect, we got ours in poundstretcher for a couple of quid,so i wouldnt pay this price for them, check local market, poundshops etc.

Hi, I have only erected the tent twice to date. the first time with difficulty like yourselves and the second time a doddle.........Spread inner tent and install poles, then lay outer on top and position centrally. It was no harder to lift the inner tent afterwards. Job done.    This also helps if setting up in rain as the inner wont get wet for as long. I feel putting the outer on 2nd when Inner is erected will eventually result is a seam rip especially when rushing in the rain.

Good Luck!
