just came back from 2 weeks in France, we had only put the tent up once before and that was a year ago just after we bought it.

The best way we found was:

• peg out corners of inner tent, this provides stability later on
• slide in the green, yellow and red poles through the inner tent sleeves
• layout all of the legs around the tent
• attach the legs to green and yellow poles on both sides of the tent but leaving them laying on the ground, (the tent should look a bit like a flattened spider at this point).
• with a person either side of the tent raise up the rear legs and ring and pin one side only. Move to the middle poles and repeat, then for the front poles. You should now have one side ring and pinned and the person on the other side holding it steady.
• Ring and pin the other side.
• Attach the remaining legs front and back of the tent, ring and pin them
• You may now need to unpeg the corners and reposition.
• We then slide in the central flexi-pole

Hope it helps
