We've had a Royal Barcelona 6 waiting for us to pitch it for a few weeks now, and finally have the time (and weather) to get it pitched for the first time.
Mother-in-law has kindly agreed to take the children for a walk in case there's any colourful language.

There's nothing specific on Youtube for the Barcelona (I know as I've searched!), however I've used this video from Gary Cross as the basis of pitching our Barcelona and it works everytime! Don't forget to post some pictures of it!
We've always pitched our 3 pole tunnel tent by putting both ends up first and then the middle pole, but the method in the video method makes so much sense. I'll be trying it out later. Might even film it for instructional/comedy purposes!
As the others have mentioned, read the instructions first before commencement.
I tend to sort out the poles and have them grouped together, and assembled as much as I could first.

hi there yes and dont forget to take notice off how it was folded up when you take it out for the first time it will be easier to get back in the bloody bag lol. - shaun
We did ours today. It went really well. Defo look at video, look at how tent is folded & take your time. Note all the little " next time dont....." "next time do...." & enjoy it. it will be well worth it. Cant post any pics of ours - took loads - as this site wont let you upload any pics bigger than 3.5meg - how silly & outdated!!!
