Hi everyone,

I am just test pitching my 2 x base seconds standard to take away the weekend ( I shall twin them..

I'm at a loss with the ground sheet, does it go down first and peg then stand the tent on top or put the tent up and then put ground sheet down?

 

Any advice please?

Put the tent up first then put the ground sheet down - the corners of the ground sheet attach to the tent via velcro so it doesn't move.

Yep, my understanding is they go on top of the 'corners' and they attach via Velcro. I have the BS seconds but not a groundsheet but I think that there is Velcro inside mine.

the velcro doesn't seem to attach to the ground sheet although it has it on the corners, but the sleeping inner does attach to the velcro, I'll tuck it into the corners. The stabilising cord it touching the ground then tho:-(

My outwell is much easier to work out:-)

When I first used mine I also thought the velcro didn't attach but then realised I was trying to attach "hooks to hooks" - I just turned the whole ground sheet over
