Hi, we're very new to the joys of camping, and having done a test run on our new tent, it has left me with a question.

Having tried our tent in our back garden, we noticed that we had a big gap (around 6 inches or more) around the bottom of our tent. The tent itself seemed quite taut, so how can we get the bottom edge of the tent to be nearer to the ground? 

I feel a bit daft asking, but wondered if anyone else had the same problem.

Thanks.

I'm new to camping as well, I thought that this was normal and that its only tents with SIGs that do not have the gap. Our bedroom pods fit in with sig so the gaps do not cause problems. The living area has a ground sheet, but we tend not to use it.

interested to see what everyone else says.,
