Have a look at the picture here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/kalahari-10-p150788 it looks as if all 5 poles should be the same length, and if provided 2 poles to turn the doorway into a porch.  The poles that you have been sent that are shaped could belong to the Kalahri porch, see picture http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/hi-gear-kalahari-porch-p146792. 

For pitching instructions have a look at this thread http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=238032 and then the linked thread in there.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Funnily enough we've just put up our new Kalahari 8 tent in the garden. What I can say is that all the poles are identical lenghs and they do have bends about 1/3 of the way in from each end, which coincide roughtly with the long sleeve at the top of the tent. I can't tell you how many sections are in each pole as they are in the tent at the moment, plus the kalahari 8 may be different from your 8. 

There should also be 2 poles (3 sections each) that let you turn the door into a porch, rubber foot on one end, spike on the other and a plain centre section.

Good luck, drop me a note if you have any more questions/
