Hi
On a still day you can do it the way this guy has but anything more than a breeze and the tent would of been in the trees.
(1) Use good pegs, longer and stronger than the ones that come with most tents.
(2) Lay the tent out, peg the four corners, open the two side doors and go inside and get some air into the tent.
(3) Slide the first roof bar through the pole sleeve in the middle of the tent by the open side doors. Fit one leg onto the side of the tent with no adjustment at the ring and pin, go to the otherside of the tent or get a second person to fit the lag on the other side of the tent where the adjustable strap is, make sure no fabric is caught where the roof bar and legs meet. If its at all breezy guy out that section.
(4) Repeat number 3 working your way out from the centre.
(5) Adjust any pegging pionts that look like they need it.
Maybe not 9 mins but not much longer and you will keep your tent on the ground this way without stressing any part of the tent, like the guys at the front.
Regards
Gary Cross
