At last it arrived! Had a bit of trouble putting poles into eyelet -- one pole snapped! Still managed to erect it but can anyone give me advice/tips for next time. Yeomans suggested we didn't follow the instructions as we were having difficulty putting the recommended silver pole(snapped one) in first so we started at the porch end. Needed a strong tall person in the middle to hold the tent up but after 2 hours managed to erect it and slept comfortably and safely in the garden. May need another practice when new pole arrives before the real thing !!

Follow the colour coding and the numerical order in the bag.  The red ones should go in first and then go from the back to the front of the tent.  I had trouble erecting the tent the first time as the bedrooms were attached to the tent.  I took them out when taking the tent down.  I had to put the tent back up when I got home to clean it and it went up so much easier without the extra weight.

Follow the instructions inside the bag!
