Flysheet first pitching is what you might imagine a tent to be pitched. The flysheet is the outer skin of the tent. If it is continuous with the groudsheet then it is termed sewn in groundsheet (SIG) or less common zipped in ground sheet ( ZIG ) . Other wise the ground sheet is a separate piece than can be attached to the flysheet via toggles at a hieght of about 4 inches above the floor ,which makes a bathtub appearance, hence that name. There are a few variations , but that is about the sum of it for groundsheets. Once the outer flysheet has been pitched, there should be inner tent rooms to attach ,or they may be preattached for all in one pitching. Sometimes you come across tents that have to be errected inner first , then flysheet. The risk is that they are exposed to the elements whilst pitching , and could get wet. Fortunately , once the fly is on , the inner should dry out . Some tents do not have inners , the most obvious example is a teepee .

Be seeing you!!
