This is a quote from Fostermum. Hope you don't mind my quoting you Fostermum but you spell Nevada 3 pitching instruction out so well.

It really is easy - I ignored the instructions (they are naff anyway!). This is how I did it - took about 15 mins.

Lay out tent, thread poles through pole sleeves and put ends of poles in ring & pins after gently arching the poles. Make sure the front 2 poles are in the right pins as they 'share a pegging point - just lay the pins out and you'll see which pin goes into which pole. Peg the back 2 corners and loosely peg out the centre back guy - this holds the whole tent in place. Then pull it all forward, peg & guy. Sounds more complicated when written down than it is - honestly!

I haven't tried pitching it solo yet as my daughter helped me. Several have done so. Lots of info if you do search on Nevada 3. Seems to be very popular

Hi I have pitched my Nevada 3 six times and twice in wind all by myself - it is easy once you get the knack (ok my first time was rather slow). I agree with Fostermum's process however I find that sometimes the front poles ping off their pins but don't worry about that, get the back pegged down and the back pole in and then pull it up from the front and then you can put the front poles back on their pins. When it is very windy I have pegged down the middle of the tent too before pulling it up.

I have been in it in some fierce storms and it stays completely waterproof and I have never had rain coming in the door but I have had some pegs get pulled right out of soft ground and that part of the tent collapse inwards (sometimes knocking things over) so now I have bought some deltas - it seems to be the front and back corners that are most affected.
