I bought an Andes delux toilet tent.There were no instructions in box.We had to guess.Still doesn't look right.Can anybody help. The bit we can't work out is the top and how to bend it over. Any tips please. No instructions on internet or you tube. Thanks.

Why not try contacting 'Andes' direct in Scotland to see if they can offer advice or supply you with any instructions.

Thanks , have just done that. Is Andes Scottish, found an address in Great Yarmouth. Blooming nuisance but I'm sure we'll get instructions somehow. Thankyou for taking time to reply.

From the pictures, it looks as if the two pole sets should be threaded through the short sleeves at the top, crossing at the centre and with the pre-bent ferrules a few inches below the sleeves, before fitting the pins into the pole ends* (with the tent supported) and finally attaching the clips?

*I'm assuming it uses a ring-and-pin system.

It looks very similar to the Quest one here

Thanks, That makes sense. Yes I can see how that would work.Noticed the quest video but it doesn't show you him building it , only the finished product. Thanks for your help.

At least you tried to find out for yourself first so I then tried as well afterwards with no success either that's why I though maybe going via the manufacturers website may be the only solution. Their Scottish address in Kirkcudbrightshire is at the bottom of the page (first link) but I can't see a Great Yarmouth address anywhere.

That link, though, goes to "a mountaineering and climbing business" - no mention of toilet tents!

Hacksaw Bob, what did you look up. I looked up Andes, thinking that was the manufacturer. Can't find the address in Kircudbrightshire.Thanks.

The link in tango55's post (this one) goes to andes.org.uk, which doesn't appear to deal in tents, in Kirkcudbrightshire.

Andescamping.co.uk is here, and has a Great Yarmouth address.

Sorry about giving you the wrong link to the Andes website as 'Hacksaw Bob' rightly points out, it's related to mountaineering which I thought may have had links to wild camping, tents and other accessories.
Are you any further forward 'devorgilla' after looking at the link for the Quest toilet tent?

Thanks for your help everyone. With your help think I have sussed it out plus awaiting word from company. It's been chucking it down with rain all night ( stayed waterproof) when it's dry will take down and redo as Hacksaw Bob suggested.
