If you have a look under the video of the tent revolving there is a link to the pitching instructions , the pitching video isn't there any more but the instructions are.

Thanks for the link. A few reads through that and I get how Outwell recommend pitching.

Thanks for the pointer. I can see the similarity between the Trout Lake and the NL and that video was quite helpful.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I didn't realise it has tension straps going across, that makes a lot of sense.
The tent arrived yesterday and after feeling the weight of the two bags there's no way I want to try and pitch this with the ZIG attached!
That's a nice tip about the 3rd bedroom, thanks! We'll only ever be using it for storage/portaloo so that will work out great for us. As you say, saves cutting the carpet too!

With the Vermont L, we usually pitch by pegging the bedroom end down and then working forwards segment by segment, inserting poles and raising the tent as we work towards the front. The recommended method of inserting all the poles and lifting the whole lot up at once was too heavy for OH and also put a lot of strain on the fabric.
Can the NL be pitched segment by segment, or is that impossible because the poles are in "one piece"?

Well we FINALLY pitched the Norfolk Lake in the garden, did it section by section as recommended. Got it pitched, ZIG in and partially pegged out in 40 minutes.

I knew it was big, but the head height is fantastic, OH is 6`4" and he`s liking it lots.

We`ll be using it with the third bedroom as my two are an unsociable pair when it comes to each other.

I`m really pleased with it, and its in fantastic condition

That is actually a pitching video of the smaller sister tent of the Norfolk Lake the Arrow lake as the porch area is a lot smaller than the Norfolk  , but it does the trick
