Hi there. if it is any help we don't follow the video. We attach all the poles and let them fall on to of one another and then we peg down the two front guy ropes, just to keep it secure and then peg the back out. Much like you do but in reverse. Take us about 15 minutes to get it up and pegged, but that is after 3 years practice. Find what works for you and stick to it.

We have never tried to erect it all in one, as it says you can, as the weight would be way to much to cope with.

This is how we use to do it.

1)spread out the fly sheet
2) Insert the fibre glass roof poles.
3) connect the side poles to the roof poles(still on the floor) and then connect into ring and pins.
4)Gather up the 4 setsof poles till they are on top of each other then stand them up together.
5) while one holds the poles the other pegs out the two top rear guys,then just pull it all out and put the two top front guys on then peg out as req.
It sounds a bit complicated,but we use to do that way in 20 minutes

we do it this way, but we leave the inner tents attatched, and don't find it heavy at all, saves hanging the bedrooms, especially if hot day!!! we slide a seperate groundsheet under the inners to keep them clean.
