Hi everyone, some of you may of seen this before but I was directed to youtube ref pitching a Monty 4 on my own when I found this clip of a guy pitch a Vermont in just over 9 mins. Now my husband can't wait to go away with ours to see how close he can get to the 9 mins. lol

Happy watching

It was on the basis of watching this clip on youtube that I went out and bought my Vermont M .... I have'nt had the time or confidence yet to try it out by pitching it in the garden but anywhere around an hour on my first try will make me happy.

Hi Whitestone I'm sure you will do in less than an hour. We have been pitching ours Vermont L as per outwell's instructions for the last year and a half , I think we started at 45mins and where very happy with the 20 mind we had got it down to. They are a fab tent and I am sure you will have many happy holidays in it.

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

If I pitched mine at that speed I'd need the rest of the holiday to recover!

They are easy tents to put up though.

Chelle ..... thanks for the encouragement and good wishes, I am so looking forward to our first trip as my 12 year old daughter is the reason we have decided to camp and she has re-kindled my passion for camping that I had as a kid in the scouts.

Gary .... Thanks for the simple instructions, I promise to get back and let you know how we get on when we get around to the 'garden' pitching. Your method looks and appears easy enough so I have no excuses if I get into a mess, thanks again for taking the time to post the way to do it.
