I took advantage of that bargain last year and I've only just taken it out and put it up for the first time in my mums back garden. Got it up ok just me and my 9 year old daughter (the 8 and 4 year olds were no help at all!) but obviously as it was our first attempt it was a bit shabby. I know its going tot ake a bit of practise but I'm looking for some hints and tips to get it up easily making sure its up properly too!

Oh I tell a lie my 8 yo did help, I got him to crawl under the poles like a commando to lift them a little so we could raise the dome

My tip is not to connect the flysheet velcro straps to the poles until you are happy with the position of the flysheet.  This is a bit of a pain as they are not easy to reach when the flysheet is pegged down - but once the velcro straps are on I've found it difficult to move the flysheet into position.
