Looking for some help on how to erect this tent. Got one from Anchor. Lady on the phone was very helpful in explaining the poles were totally unreliable, but agreed to send me out enough to make one loop so that I knew what length to get. I bought 11mm fibre glass replacement pole sets to make up a complete set of three. I have placed the poles in the pockets at each side and clipped them to the various corresponding clips in line. It is a brand new tent and does not have sleeves as pictured here.https://bushcraftuk.com/community/i...c-valise-anyone-seen-one.133097/#post-1659014 There are various bits of cordage with with plastic end clips attached along the bottom edge of the walls. Do these then stretch across the floor and attach to the other wall at floor level? Most grateful for any help on the sequence of events in pegging in, guyropes etc.

I'm considering getting a bigger tent than the three-man dome tent that I have at the moment. Anybody know the inner usable size of this model of tent?

That's got a good description.

My current dome tent is 210cm long by 200cm wide, and weighs 3.6kg.
This army tent is described as being 15 (I'm assuming this is the length) x 6ft; so 457cm long by 183cm.

Exactly 10 kilos packed with bag and poles.

The three flat straps go across the floor under the inner bathtub that is sewn into the liner and they stop the poles spreading. The ends of the tent are tensioned outward using the remaining guys. It needs to be quite well tensioned and properly aligned to be free of wrinkles.
