Mine was the original version, when the tent was known as the Holkham.
I can't find the instructions I had - think the last copy went with the tent..
I wouldn't try this for the first time if the weather is bad. It's tricky enough any way without added complications... so wait for a break.
Firstly some pics to prove it can be done:
I never used any extra clips on mine, but I guess it would have been a good idea to at least clamp the top middle, to make it easier to set up. Also it would have been a good idea to mark where the top /middle of the cover was to make it easier to get it symmetrical straight away rather than by adjustment.
Start by laying out the cover along the front of the tent.
Remove the guys on the front of the tent and either tie up or let them hang loose. Throw the main guy (top middle) over the top of the front canopy. At this point some folk lean the front section back to make it lower and easier to reach, but I preferred to keep it upright.
Start hanging the cover over the front pole. Start in the top middle and work to both sides at the same time. Best if two people do this, taking a side each. If you have the luxury of a third person who is tall, have them stand in the middle and just hold the top middle bit on. There is a strap (as well as the elastic) that runs the length of the cover; this needs to be behind the tent pole.
At each end of the strap is a hook which needs to go in the corresponding end of the pole. The strap is length-adjustable, so you might need to lengthen it to get it on, and then shorten it afterwards to keep it there.
There are two Velcro fasteners each side which wrap around the pole; waist and chest height ?
Peg the point nearest the strap ends near the bases of the pole.
There is another pegging point each side which you pull back, down the side of the tent as far as you can.
Zip the front of the cover closed, and finish the pegging.
Doneski.
Something like that any way!
Hope that helps!
TT
