4) Locate the entrance, and place it in the direction you want your tent to face.

5) Pin down the two metal loops on either side of the entrance with a shorter peg to secure its position.

6) Now go round the base of the tent, pinning down the metal loops with the pegs following the edge of the ground sheet.

7) Locate the poles, join the two sections of the longer central pole together.

8) Remove all the remaining pegs from the peg bag, and fold over several times. We use this as an extra cushioning buffer between the central pole and the apex of the tent (which takes a lot of strain). Also place a plastic or wooden plate at the base of the pole to protect the groundsheet.

9) Take the central pole and the folded peg bag inside the still flat tent, place the folded peg bag on top of the pole, locate apex of tent and push the pole up into it, and push the tent.
