HI Guys

Just been given a tent by friends and its a little awkward to piece together the frame.
My friends have put it up for us this time, but cant rely on help all the time
so was wondering if anyone Knows where I may be able to get hold of a set of instructions for the frame.

as its up at the moment. I am going to colour code the frame
but in the event of this not working I would like a copy of any instructions.

Its 6 berth Relum, I have found a pic similar to mine on the net and will leave a link on this message
with a little luck it will work

Thanks

If it's not already, I would suggest getting a springing kit and joining some of the main poles together. eg

Before you take it down you could put tape round connecting poles and mark them in numerical order so the next time you know which pole should go where.

Our relum is colour coded - which wasn;t in the instructions.  In fact the instructions were photocopied anyway and not very informative.

Our colour scheme is black to back, blue roof and green to red, red being the front section.

Your tent looks like ours and the only thing I find is to look at the back poles as they are the only ones that have 3 junctions (2 short bits and a one piece long bit), the long bits are the legs not the roof.  The front have four sections one of which is a stubby straight piece - where the front canopy poles clip too and again the longer part is the leg.  The Tent has 8 legs one in each corner (good start) and two in the middle which are separated by a smaller section.  I think the side sections are springed.  Lay what you believe to be the corners out and then add the middle poles checking the angles as not to get left and right mixed up.  Connect the poles, chuck the canvas over and then lift the tent up by slotting in the other leg poles each side.

The kitchen is 3 poles that clip onto the side poles and then the holes in the other end fit over the spiked legs - this is the bit I hate as it tends to collapse on my head! There are holes in the kitched canvas where the spikes are punched through.

 

You are better off getting a load of electrical tape and colour coding the poles - you can then type the details out and save on the old PC what colour goes where, and print a copy out whenever required.

I have just found your extremely old query and find myself in a similar position. I have been given a near new almost immaculate Relum 6 Canaria. The photocopy instructions are hard to follow. I don't suppose you have any photos of the finished article by any chance ? The previous owner has colour coded the poles and numbered them however there is no index provided and the colour codes and numbers don't immediately make sense. Yours hopefully Chris

I’m afraid all the contributors to this topic have not been active for some time.

But they may still be lurking in the background.

There are few photos in the Tent Showcase review of the 4 berth version, usually alternative berth versions are identical apart from size, with maybe a pole or two having an extra section to achieve the dimensions.

There are a few more photos to be found with a Google.

With any tent, whether you have instructions (legible or otherwise!) or not, doing your own colour coding or numbering joints makes subsequent assembly so much easier (so long as you understand the coding!).
