Hi Dave.

I do, indeed, I have a full pictorial guide to setting one up, but not allowed to put a link to it on here, so happy to email it to you, if that helps.

And it does get easier. With practice, you should get it down to 3 or 4 hours.

Takes me about half an hour now, on my own, as long as it's not too windy. First time was a couple of hours.

My fault Dave. In a rush to get into my next meeting, I typed younder, instead of yonder. It bounced back straight away, so re sent as soon as my meeting finished.

I used to live off Plymouth Road. Now just a mile from there. Hopefully that stuff will help next time you tackle the awning (and a few other bits as well).

I have had a 2006 fiesta and now have a 2014 fiesta. The awning is much easier to put up than the 2006 due to updated poles, i.e. tensioning etc. I put it up myself a couple of weekends ago and it perhaps took me about an hour, working at a leisurely pace, so I didnt stress out about it. Didnt swear once.
