Hi all, at the end of last year i purchased a lakesbury 5 tent. Ive read alot of reviews about how easy it is to erect. for some reason i found it difficult to erect, it must be something im doing wrong. I followed the enclosed instrutions but didnt seem to help. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks..

Any three poled tunnel tent of this size can be put up by one person, but a second person, even a child, will make a time difference.

As arsenaldes says, first make sure the corner straps have all been loosened.

I don't peg anything down, but I do create the three 'hoops' flat on the ground. Then I stand the whole thing up, like a folded up accordion. I get someone to hold it just for a minute while I peg out the back two guy ropes. With the back hoop upright, I simply unfold the tent by walking it out, then peg out the front two guys. Only then do I go around pegging the actual tent.
