GENERAL PITCHING GUIDELINES
POLES
Assembly Take are when assembling poles. They should slot together
easily and without for e. Corresponding poles are often joined with elasti or
springs to make assembling and dismantling easier.
Push don’t pull When inserting poles into sleeves, push rather than pull them
so that they stay together easier. Do not for e long poles into sleeves. Gently
feed material onto the poles, gathering short lengths and gradually pulling the
material over the poles.
Ar hing Where possible, insert all main poles into sleeves before ar hing
them. Ar h the first pole while flat on the ground and then you may need help
as pole ar hes will form more easily when holding the entre of the
stru ture upright.This is parti ularly important when ere ting tents with
diagonal poles. If poles don’t fully ar h to onne t with the orresponding pin
and ring or eyelet, he k that the pole is inserted orre tly into the sleeves
and that it is pulled through the sleeve evenly.
FLYSHEET
Tightening Tent material should be taut but not over-tightened. Do not over-
tighten tension bands, straps, guylines or tent material. Over-tightening will
make your tent more sus eptible to damage at the seams, doorways,
pegging points and zips – parti ularly in strong winds. Note:Tent material
sla kens when wet but will re-tighten naturally when it dries.
All zips should be losed during assembly.This is important when pegging out
the tent. Leaving zips undone may ause you to over-tighten your tent and
you may not be able to lose them on e the tent is fully assembled.
Avoiding leaks Keep inner and outer tents well apart in wet weather. Conta t
between the two ould result in leaking.

PIN AND PEG
Pin and Ring system Ea h end of the tent poles fits onto a orresponding
metal pin. The metal pin fits into the metal ferrule on the end of ea h pole (Fig
2). It may require a little extra for e to push the pole into an ar h to fit it into
the se ond pin. Some pins are lo ated lose to ea h other. Refer to the
pole points to he k that you are sele ting the right pin. Rings atta hed to pins
are to be pegged to the ground to se ure the position of the poles and
maintain the shape of the tent.
Pegging your tent Ea h tent omes with a bag of tent pegs. These are
required to an hor the tent to the ground. For maximum an horage, drive the
peg into the ground at an angle of approximately 45° making sure that the
flysheet seams are in line with tent seams
GUYLINES
Lo ate with are Most Royal tents have luminous guylines whi h make them
more visible when it starts to get dark When pegging out guylines it is
important to onsider where they will be most onveniently pla ed to avoid
tripping while providing the best an horage for the tent.
