Hi Marie,
We have the mayon 6 and I think they are almost the same so this is how we do ours....
Lay the tent out with the front where you want it once pitched and insert the flexible poles through the slots in the top.
Put the steel poles on each side of the back flexipole and ring and pin.
Raise the back and peg the guylines just to hold it up while you move onto the other poles.
Work towards the front pinning and pegging as you go.
Make sure that the poles are in straight lines then peg the tent down
Peg the guylines and it is up.
We struggled the first time and think we also tried to be a bit too scientific about the poles being in straight lines etc but on our second try it was much easier.
Practice a few times and you will find it doesnt take very long.
Can I suggest that you practice getting it back in the bag too? lol
There was much cursing when it came to folding but now we can get it back in easily AND fit a canvas tarp in the bag along with poles... so worth persevering.
Now we just bought a second hand pyramid with no instructions .. any idea how to pitch that? lol
Good luck and be patient :)
Karin.
