Leave
the
tent and using the large
pegs attach the first guy rope above the
door. Then zip up the door and do the
guy
ropes
either
side
of
the
door.
N.B.
All the guy ropes need to follow the lines
of the seams in the roof. Adjust the guy
rope slider so you have approx 50cm of
loop to the peg. This allows adjustment
in both directions.
It is important to make sure the
the
Bell
Tent
stays
symmetrical
and
that
the
tension
is
evenly
spread.
It is also important not to have too much
tension on any of the guy ropes at
this point. Get all the pegs in then go
round adjusting the guy ropes to create
the desired tension.
By doing it this way and following the
seam lines your Bell Tent will look like
this: perfect and without creases.
9) Finally go inside the tent and tuck the flap/ plastic skirt at the bottom of the
canvas walls under the ground sheet folding the flap to go round the ground
sheet pegs
There you go
Job done!!!
Walls up?
If it’s a hot day there is nothing better that rolling the walls up and letting the
breeze brush over you. Simply unhook the loops at the bottom of the canvas
walls from the pegs and roll up (inwards) and tie using the strings provided. We
usually use a slip knot (loop through loop) to save time and effort when it’s time
to roll them back down again.
