Small question got to my mind when I was reading the instructions of my Quechua tent, got curious and read them.

The center of the tent, where the poles meet (like an X, and you have the "top" one and the "down" one)
in which of the two poles do you "peg" the top of the inner tent?

In the instructions the images show that the inner tent is fixed to the pole... Shouldnt it be in the top pole, so the weight of the tent can be suported by both of them instead of only the down one?


Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

New! Please upload a photo of your tent to the Tent Showcase!

It made total that it was the top one, as the down onde helps to suport the whole thing.

Thanks, and sorry if it was a stupid question :/
