Hi we've got a hi gear zenobia 6 and every time we put porch up the sides seem very loose/saggy so whenever wind even slightly blows they blow a good foot inside the porch space. I'm obviusly doing something wrong but i can't figure out what. Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks

Well I suppose this is not much help. At 'Go Outdoors' I was told that the porch for the Zenobia was easier to erect than the Zenobia itself! Well, the Zenobia is VERY easy to erect, it's the pegging and guying out that takes ages! The man told me to thread the poles and erect the porch and then move it to touching distance of the tent, then he said not to try throwing the flap over, (I'm 5' and my sister is 5'3",) he told us to take one of the webbing straps each and walk around the the opposite sides of the tent before pulling it securely and pegging down. He said "Very easy and job done!" Ah well, next Sunday when we pitch the Zenobia in Cornwall we shall see how easy it is. Told you it probably wasn't much help!
