Hi Dr Cheese01

Ok unless there are 2 bunched up guy lines on the door that you are pegging out then you need to pop off to your nearest store and ideally get a pair of ready made guy lines, about 3 to 4 mtrs long. When you get home tie a loop in the single cord end of the guy line pop the pole back through the eyelet slide the guy line over the pin on the end of the pole and peg the guy line out so holding the pole in place, do the same the other side and bobs your uncle.

Good luck

Gary

I think there were a couple of extra guys for it in the little bag that came with the tent, but I might be mistaken.

Guyed out they're held down on the grass pretty firmly. Pic in my profile shows our Orchy with the front door poled and guyed to make a canopy. The pole set from Vango included guylines and a couple of plastic cowls to push down over the pole top.
