Hi, I just bought a Cabanon Pyramide 4000, no idea how old it is, but it seems in good shape.
It has an A frame consisting of three metal frames, rather than a single pole. Any help as the best way to put it together would be useful.
Cant find anything online Many thanks.

thanks for that (I have seen that link)😊
trying to figure out how to put up the tent, maybe there is a logical sequence for frame tents. ( I am used to a bell tent!)
This is a pic of what I could find via Google, someone on Facebook has one.
From the pics I believe there are 3 frames, one in the front as in the door with 2 spikes for inserting into eyelets, one in the middle again with 2 spikes for inserting into eyelets, and one at the back.
This is what I would do to start with, based on my experience with 2 pyramid tents of different make when I was a tenter.
Pitch the front frame first, and keep it in place by using 2 guys over the spikes so that you can access the tent.
Next would be the middle frame, then the back out last.
If the above does not work, then I would pitch the middle frame first, holding it up by using 2 guys over the spikes.
Yes to marking up the frame poles once you have sorted out which is which, very important as it makes life a lot easier later.
Good luck!

We still have a central pole / front porch / optional front awning Cabanon Pyramide (model forgotten).
Lay the outer flat, making sure the door end faces the view / sun / away from the wind / whatever. Peg out the 4 corner rope guys. Open the front door, smallest person wriggles in, put up the central pole(s) (we had one, you have more). Get back out. Put up the front porch poles: we had 3 that formed an H shape with a cross bar. Zip up the door, peg out the other rope guys & the skirt rubber loops. Open the front again & hook the inner tent up onto the outer, start at the farthest away end. Then lift the inner tent up at the middle - ours hooked centrally onto the central pole, it was a tight pull up, yours will be a bit different. I think you then go outside & lift up the outer to peg the lower part of the inner or maybe did the outer lower skirt at the same time- my memory is a bit vague there, but it’ll be obvious.
We had an optional porch too, I see it on the FB photos, very good for keeping the bikes dry, or sitting outside but in the shade. Made the tent look very elegant.
I hope some of that helps but it’s not the exact same Cabanon model, so none of it might apply, I hope some does.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
