If it is, and assuming the instructions arent sewn into the bag?

Then I would say you put the fibreglass poles through the sleeves first (should be colour coded) then start at one end and have one person each side putting the steel poles in and work along. That should be the basic principal anyway.

Google doesn't have much info on the tent unfortunately and I couldn't trawl out a manual either.....

Erm.... as it doesn't seem to be except from their returns policy some people (not me of course)might be inclined to buy it, take it home, open the packaging carefully and find the manual.... then copy it via a scanner etc. then take it all back (properly packaged) and ask for a refund as unknowingly your other half went out and bought the same tent! Doh!n Such confusions happen all the time.

Luckily Argos have a liberal returns policy.

Not that I condone the above......

From the pic you should be able to count the amount of steel poles and fibreglass ones. Only seems to have one bedroom pod, might have a separate flysheet. Easy to see if all guylines are there and pegs are expendable and cheap to buy anyway...

EDIT:
4 lines of fiberglass poles.
8 steel poles.
2 porch poles.

And from the argos webby... it does indeed have colour coded poles and an "attached" groundsheet.
