Hi. Hoping for some advice on how to prevent a saggy roof. I have an air tent and just can't seen to get it as taut as previous pole tent. Worried about when it rains. Any advice welcome.

Pull the pegs out at the base of the beams and stretch it out as far as possible also go inside and kick the bottom of the air beams out so they are stretched out as far as possible as well.

the front and back guy lines needs to be at 45 degrees from the tent, so its pulling sideways and forwards/backwards at the same time, then it will pull the roof tighter

Are you sure the roof valves are fully open?
