we wondered this as well, I was also told awning through rail first, we shall be putting ours up for the first time on Tuesday, found out today its a dorema so OH has printed the instructions off the site.  We got the poles out yesterday and tried to suss what went where, we think we've got a rough idea, just hope nobody will have a good laugh on our behalf lol.  Hope you get sorted soon

And a tip I saw on this site to secure the light ropes to the awning is to get some of those shower rings to attach to the poles.

Canvas first then centre poles as it will stand on it's own.  You then have spare hands to put up all the other poles.  Easy!
