ILIKEWALLS Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 tents are bloody easy to put up. bloody easy. if you cant find instructions online find a picture and print it off, then experiment in a garden or something. honestly you lot...

ukslim Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Fair play, some are easier than others. It can be fiddly if, for example, the design has poles of varying lengths. But the advice is good: get out in the garden and experiment. It's worth getting the practice in because sod's law says that at Glastonbury you'll be putting it up in a hurricane.

andyBBB Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) don't worry about it, act like your struggling a bit and your neighbours will probably jump in to help great way to get to know them Oh, and maybe take a pic of what it looks like 'erected' (ooo errrrr). Could help Edited May 14, 2007 by andyBBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffpne Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 if you look like your struggling someone will help or just put it up for you for the price of a cold beer. I usually put up 3 or 4 for Novice Tent erectors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E. Spliff Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 The ProAction is the Ford Mondeo of the tent world. Every other person will have one. Just arrive, find a spot, and look around - one of your neighbours will have exactly the same tent as you, so just ask them how to do it.

MikeyB37 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Did a quick google to see if i could find anything, nothing much turned up but at least you can say that you're not the first person to ask this question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsta Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 LOL, i saw the other thread because like you i did a search. But, that was no help. Glasto isnt a prob as my boyfriend is putting it up. I want to put it up now so i can waterproof it. I am quite sure i am capable of putting a tent up, but thought id just ask to see if anyone happened to have the instructions to hand. Thanks.

jellyapple Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Did you mean this one? This was our festi home for 2 years and I reckon I could put it up in the rain, whilst drunk. Oh, I did! Put the poles in, peg out the tags and then clip in the bedrooms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) We used two of those in 05 and I was quite impressed considering how little they cost. They also came in blue and grey I think. I'm sure they are still in my garage complete with instructions so will dig em out for you asap. Edited May 15, 2007 by Cooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Sorry no luck I'm afraid. Just this minute got back from the my garage and went through both tent bags and tents, they were very ripped, mouldy and stinky, lacking instructions and now been binned.
