We are new campers and have a regatta six man 3 bed pod tent. Its easy to put up but on one side at the front the tent material is flappng and there is a big gap where you can see grass. The othe side is not flapping and you can see no grass. What are we doing wrong ? We have camped in it three times now and its been the same every time. Weve tried tightening the straps and guylines but with no avail , is it something we are missing when we are pitching it ? Some answers to this would be greatly accepted thanks.
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
Not sure on the tent, but my old tent had similiar problems. It never looked right, it wasn't as bad as what you've described, but it looked twisted for some reason, so one side looked right, the other didn't
I eventually sorted by basically taking my time and making damn sure the groundsheet was square and properly pegged down. Because the poles on mine was the "pin and hole" type, if the groundsheet wasn't right, the poles wouldn't sit right, and it looked twisted.
Hi there and thanks for the reply. Weve had the tent up in the garden since yesterday . Ive had a good mess around with it . Ive pulled the groundsheet , moved the pegs and altered the guylines and its not flapping and seems even on both sides . YEY RESULT !!!
Hopefully now ive messed around with it it will be easier when we use it , it wont be when we are away probably. We are away next weekend in it , so will let you know. Many thanks Claire
