Outwell's instructions are very poor - something to bear in mind when filling in their questionnaire 
I found I had to put my Lake up several times before I was completely happy with the way it pitched.
My handy hints include:
Make sure all of the tension straps are loose at the start.
Make sure that the canvas is equally positioned on each side of the poles.
Starting at the back of the tent, take each pole at a time and space it so that the cotton is wrinkle free but not too tight.
Try to get the poles to follow the seams of the canvas.
Look down the side of each tent and make sure that the poles lie in a straight line.
Don't make the horizontal poles too tight otherwise the end poles will not be vertical.
Don't fully peg down until the ZIG is zipped up - reposition the poles to get the ZIG lying flat.
I also found it helpful to go back to the local camping shop and looking very closely at how they had pitched their display tent.
Hope this helps
