I'm well chuffed as I've managed to bag myself one of these.
I've been coveting a pyramid for quite a while especially after seeing cathyh's relum izmir.
I thought I would buy an eldorado, but then the escala came out,(obelink) so I started saving, then I saw a cabanon pyramid 6 for sale, so managed for once to be the first in the queue. I'm really pleased and although she's an old lady, she looks might fine.
I will post some photo's once I find my camera, and I have a few questions to ask.
For my first attempt I was pleased, but my that canvas seemed heavy to move about to get into place, i have just realised I am a weakling, so will be building up my muscles in my arms...lol.
The tent is for me and hubby and my youngest kids to use, and although a squeeze for a weekend it will do. I feel it's definitely a couples tent though, or for a singleton.
The other reason I wanted it, is for my dad to have his own space when he comes camping, he was over yesterday, and bless him he fell asleep while inside on the chair in it.
I love it so much and wasn't disappointed as never seeing one in the flesh before. Canvas rocks and when my outwell idaho bites the dust, my next 'big' tent will be a canvas.
I need a ground sheet of 2x4m and a carpet of the same size, any suggestions of what may fit?

Thanks for the tips on groundsheets hlk01 and tentaloon 
I've taken a while to post photo's as after posting this thread, I ended up tripping twice out of back doors on the same day, so sprained my left wrist (my writing hand) partial sprain to the right, twisted my right ankle, and banged my left knee so it went all puffy, you honestly couldn't write this stuff for a comedy! I'm laughing now...well just about. I'm finding it strange just finger tapping the keyboard though.
Anyway, my son took a couple of photo's
It was my first ever pitch, now I'm looking back at the photo's, she has a really saggy bum, I don't know whether it's the light accentuating it, but although I wanted the tension tighter, at the time she didn't look that saggy!
Any tips gratefully received on getting it right.Where the rubber is at the top of the mudflap, but at the bottom of the green, there is also a small plastic ring, will get son to take photos as still can't hold camera! What are they for, sorry to sound so dense, I've pegged through the rubber, was that the right thing to do.
She is still up in the garden, as I couldn't obviously get her down, when I knew rain was coming I asked hubby to leave her up, as I want to know if there are any leaks or problems. Once she's dried out, I'll replace some rubbers and get some more guy ropes.
I'm not sure how old she is, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
I'm a canvas convert, the smell was wonderful, not musty as I was worried she may be, it's a lovely nostalgic smell, all I want to do is sit in her.
I do like yours tentaloon and I see who have the suncanopy with yours, I'd love to get one as I think it would finish it off nicely but I understand they are as rare as hens teeth!
