dont forget you only use delta pegs on the guy lines so you will only need seven or eight for the main tent and a couple for the annexe

the standard pegs that come with the cabanon are very strong good pegs and should be fine for all the other pegging points

did you get the cabanon mallet with your tent?

Dont think mallet is there, just had a nose at whats in the blue peg bag, theres some of the v shaped pegs, smaller normal pegs(probably for bottom of pods) and as you say larger thick normal type pegs.

Yep 8 deltas would do just for the main tent guys. Cant wait to have a go at getting it up ourselves proper. Im just high on the lush smell of the canvas atm.

Saves on having a bag for main tent canvas, annex, then the curtains.

Multiple bags need more organisation, to make sure you've got all the ones you need with you, but are easier to lug about. The main canvas on your tent is going to weigh a fair bit, before adding in the annexe etc.

The annex and curtains are already in nie clear plastic bags like the day they came out the shop so could pack them all in still keeping seperate.

It looks like a nice tent

I'm pretty impressed if you can lift an Athena with only upper body strength - I can do the Andorra but that's about my limit!

Well I just tried and can get the bag with poles up, canvas in its bag flops in half and that was easy, so helping out should be no problem, my powerchair has a seat rise button too so im at standing height.

As they say not much is impossible you just have to find new ways of doing things when your disabled.
