Once the awning has taken shape close all of the entrances so that the awning can be tensioned 
correctly. At this stage you may need to reposition the corner pegs to ensure that the groundsheet is 
taut and that the sides are all in line. Now fully extend out the main end webbing guy tapes and add 
5 to 6 twists to each (this helps reduce wind noise) before pegging them out properly using the 
larger V pegs supplied. Now add some tension to the tapes to pull the outer tent fabric taut. Top Tip 
– Don’t over tension the tapes as this will pull the roof height down

Using the wire pegs, peg around the sides and ends of the awning using the webbing pegging points 
provided. Most have a buckle for adjustment and these should be slackened off before pegging. Top 
Tip 
– Do not peg through the stitched webbing loop. Slacken the webbing behind the buckle and peg 
through the resulting loop.
