Hi I'm new to the forum and therefore camping!
Just bought the Horizon 6 pitched it following the Gelert video and although it didn't pitch as perfectly as the one by Gelert, on the whole it was okay for a first attempt.
I do have an issue though, not sure if this is right....
The ground sheet curves up the wall (i.e there is no definitive floor end point or wall end point they just curve to meet each other). Is this correct as I expect stepping close to the inner edge could cause damage. Any advice to a newbee appreciated.
Thanks

Yes it is the SIG (sewn in groundsheet) would normally curve up to meet the flysheet approx 10 to 15cm above ground

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
