omg how awkward is it drying and folding a large tent in a small garden?? my tent is now dry woo! didnt take long at all but my guy ropes are still wet :( whats the best thing to do? it looks like its going to rain so ive folded the tent as best i can and stuck it in the sunlounge for now. Hubby will be back around 7 so hoping between us we can get it folded and back in the bag properly! Are we best to take the ropes of to dry them? im not sure i'd be able to work out which ones go where though
I have in the past put guy lines in small money bags I did this because a brand new tent was dry and never checked the guy lines and the red dye came out of the lines onto the tent
It seems to be growing , I keep climbing in there to turn it over . The other computer is behind the door , rest of the family not happy , they can't get to it .

My tent has been sprawled all over the spare room since monday afternoon , and I still have damp guylines
LOL, I recognise that tent, looks exactly like my dining room this afternoon at 5 pm, except I have the 6. Finally got it all dry by about 9 pm but i know that there are still a few damp bits of webbing and rope, but nothing to do now since we are off again on friday.

Hi tinpockets , it worked out great when I had the tent poles cut to size , cheers for that . I thought it was leaking at the weekend , , but eventually realised that the windows were open, just held in place with the velcro . lol . And we had a pole split putting it up, but ducktaped it .
Wish I was away again this weekend , not going again until whitsun , so it will have to be properly dry before it goes back in the bag . trouble is, that room is only 8ft x 9ft . and the tent is 7mx4m , so its taking a while . Its still raining so can't put it up in next doors garden to dry either.
