Here's a useful set of instrutions for errecting a Vardo 8 or Vardo 10
1, Lay out the Fly Sheet on the ground.
2, Set out your 8 Side poles (These are the thicker of the two)
3, Set out your 4 Fibre glass poles.
4, Push the 4 Fibre glass Poles throught the sleeves on the top of the Fly Sheet.
5, Insert the ends of the fibre glass poles into the Side poles.
6, Now insert the larger poles in the pins attatched to the bottom of the tent.
7. Now pull the Tent up to the upright postion and start pegging it out.
8, I'd use decent pegs though !
9, Have fun!!!

Hi Ellen
As you can see above we had the same problem with the instructions which were more of a hindrance than a help.
Basically lay the fly sheet out (the main orange and grey cover). The tent has several openings, but if you are using both bedrooms, assume that the smaller opening on the long side of the tent opposite the window is going to be your door and if you can, face that away from the prevailing wind. (wouldn't even worry about trying to figure that out the first time you try it - get it up once and you will know what I mean!). Assemble and insert the black, slim, four piece poles through the orange channels at the top of the tent. There are four of them, not three as the instructions suggest!
Then attach the small L- shaped aluminium (silver) extension pieces one to each side of each of these poles and assemble and attach the long, thicker aluminium poles to the L-pieces. There are then some black clips to clip to the aluminium poles and at the bottom of the tent, in line with the clips are some rings with a pin through. Insert the pins into the end of the poles. They don't fix in and don't worry if the odd one falls out, you can re-insert it later. The poles will bend, but it seems to be the nature of the design. The art is in pulling the structure nice and taught later on.
Next haul up one end of the tent, peg through the loops at the bottom and put a couple of guy ropes on. Go to the other end (the first one that you have just pegged will fall down at this point!) and haul up that end and peg out. This pulls the other end back up and gives you the shape of the tent, then you can do the middle two sections, pulling them nice and taught and adjusting the original pegging if you need to in order to get rid of the wrinkles. Attach the remaining guys, long ones to the top triangle shaped loops and short lengths to the bottom ones. Peg them at roughly 45 degrees.
The inner tents have a row of hooks at the back and a row at the front. Hang the back ones, then crawl in and flatten the compartment out as best you can. Hang the front hooks on and peg all round.
It takes a bit of practice but we managed it in about an hour second time out! Great value tent for the money at the end of the day. Happy camping !!
