hi just brought a outwell sunvalley 8 older model (BLUE) just wondering if there is a easy way of putting up. I ve had it up but was a bit of a struggle just wondering if ive done something wrong.Ive looked on you tube but it seems to show only the start and nothing else pls help.
Great choice of tent.
I find it easiest to thread all the poles through the roof sleeves,and fix the pins in the ends before pegging anything down . Gives you more flex with the fabric this way. if its pegged down at the corners you are fighting against it to get the pins in the poles.
open the doors before you start, to let air into the tent , if you don't it creates a vacuum effect and the tent sticks to itself and is very hard to lift.
Lay all the pole arches on top of each other , starting with the front one . then peg out the back corners .
|Lift all the poles up together , one person each side and walk them forwards, stretching it out as far as it will go.
Peg out the front guyline to hold the tent up.
Peg down front corners .
Adjust the pole positions so groundsheet is pulled flat.
When happy that groundsheet is flat peg through the rings at the bottom of the poles , closing the doors first . then peg out all the guylines .
thank you very much for your help
i will try that tomorrow and hopeful it won't take us a hour and half.
this is why i'm liking this site from nice helpful people
