Does anyone know what is the best way to set up the tent easily????

I know you put the middle bit first, but do the rooms add on after?

have a look at outwell's website they have a video on how to pitch this tent off to padstow monday for 4 nights with the same tent.

Thread the 3 long poles in first, get someone to lift to head height whilst you put these in the pins and then thread the poles in the bedroom pods and fit to pins.  This way reduces the weight the person inside the tent has to initially lift. 

Peg out the rings where the poles are first and then peg out each of the bedroom pods.  It is sometimes easier at this point for someone to go into each of the pods pushing out into each of the corners to get the groundsheet tight fitting.

Line up the fly sheet not forgetting to attach the velcro loops onto the poles and then spend the next 30 mins bashing in all the pegs.

By the way if you have not got it the front canopy is a great addition.   

Cheers Tony. 

I am going this weekend for the first time ever.

Hope it goes well.

Just take your time and you will be fine.  It is also worth checking out the outwell website as they have a video on there with a pitching demonstration.

First time we pitched ours it took us 90 mins.  Now it takes about 45 mins.
