Hi folks

I have managed to pitch our evolva on my own.

Firstly inserting the small BLUE poles that create the main 'dome' and securing them in the correct end stops. Then feeding in all the GREY poles that create the walls and securing a corner pair into the end stops and milk the fabric down the pair of poles until I can secure the two end spike into their fixing eyelets. Then the same for the next back corner, then a front corner and then the last front corner. Next I insert the GREEN porch 'ridge' pole trough its' sleeve and into the end stop at the front of the dome and above the entrance. Then feed in the 2 GREY poles that form the entrance support arch and slot one of them into the end stop and milk the canvas down 'til I can fit the end of the pole into its' eyelet, then do the same for the the remaining GREY pole.

If it is windy, peg down the 4 corners of the main dome and the pole end points of the porch and work your way round the tent loosening off the guys to a suitable length so that as you erect a corner, you can immediately peg its guy out to support it and take some of the strain off the poles.

Hopes this makes sense and is of help.
