Hello,

Does anyone know where I can get pitching instructions for wynnster antares 9?

We've bought a very nice used one and hope to test pitch at the weekend!

Thanks

Emilyx

Is it one with a sewn in groundsheet or loose?  I've got the Antares 13 without a SIG and can tell you how i put that up.  Does it not have instructions sewn in to the inside of the flysheet bag?

I'll tell you how i do mine.

Lay out flysheet and work out which way round you want it.

make up all the poles they should have colour coded ends.

Fibreglass poles are the roof poles.  Steel are uprights.

Put longest poles through pole sleeves that cross over each other in the living area.

Easier if there's 2 of you for the next bit!  Attach the corresponding steel poles to the fibreglass ones push the pins on the ends of the poles into the corresponding coloured hole on the webbing straps that go on the ground and stand up the living area.  Guy out the main guys for this section and clip the clips to the steel poles.

Thread the next longest fibreglass poles through their pole sleeves on the bedroom sections, attach steel uprights put in pins.  clip on clips and do the same for the ones furthest away from the centre.

Do the main guys as you go then do the rest of the pegging when you've got all the poles upright.  You may have to alter some of them later but you'll have it all up and stable by then.

Put down your groundsheet and clip in the bedrooms.  Job done!

Clip in the groundsheet before you peg all round or it probably won't fit.  We don't use the groundsheet at all when we're camping abroad saves getting it dirty.

I love mine, it's great quality, lovely colours and plenty of headroom in the bedrooms.

Hope that helps!!

Just had a thought though, might be getting my tents mixed up, can't remember now if the Antares has the fibreglass roof poles or my Corvus!  Whatever, if they're the steel ones they're curved!

I've got a photo of my Antares 13 on my profile.
