It's a doddle:
Assemble your roof poles and you will see that there are just x 3, which run from front to back of the tent (you can see which ends go at the front because they have the small stub canopy poles affixed.
You will see that there is which one goes in the middle to form the ridge, so lay that out accordingly and put one either side, then fix them together with the adjoining roof support poles.
Next, slot on the 6 x legs and keep them in the 'broken' position, so the tent is on it's knees.
Fold your canvas over the frame. slotting it over the front stub canopy poles. Square up the roof as much as possible so that it fits nicely on the frame.
Lift the frame into a standing position, then peg and guy out (not forgetting to fasten the canvas to the frame, inside, using the ties which are at roof level.)
Now install the kitchen frame, which consists of two side upright poles (each with a bend in) and a cross bar (with a plastic fitting at each end, which fits into the holes on the side uprights). Just extend the cross bar so that it tensions the canvas, then screw the fitting to secure.
(It is possible to install the kitchen frame prior to pegging out, but we do it afterwards if it is windy, just to make sure the canvas is safely anchored.)
Fit inner tents, roof linings and curtains.
Voila!
