Hi. Can anyone help me out. I've got an old Lichfield Vermont 6 SFS frame tent that I need to pitch on Monday 4/11 with a group of school children!! Problem is I've lost the instructions and could really do with a diagram to show how all the poles go together. Any help at all much appreciated!

Have you checked in the tent bag? Sometimes the instructions are sown in the bag.

You need to get the attention of 'force ten' as he/she has got a set:

are there three sets of poles with smaller legnth 'cross' stubs?
these would be the main roof poles, they should be conected with springs in sets.
there will be 6 sets of two poles [short] these are the roof cross beems.
there will be 6 sets two poles [long] these are the legs

and 3 short sections that are for the front 'over lap' by door
the roof pole sets with cross stubs have one end a 'x' this is the front of tent, it goes through the hole in canvas for the front over lap at door. the cross on the roof poles have one stub longer than the other.... this is the leg stub so should point downwards at a slight angle outwards.
make up the roof and then fix the legs [but leave them at half legnth] put on the canvas then go inside and stand the tent to full hieght.

I sure do like the UK summers :) :)
