BORDEAUX 6 XL ZG

■ Assemble spring-adjoined poles by inserting each pole-end into the end of

the next pole. Ensure that shaped pole ends are correctly aligned before

joining them. They do not require force (see Pic)

Lay them parallel on the ground.

■ Open flysheet on ground and position tent in

desired direction. Detach zipped canopy but make

sure that all other zips are closed. Also ensure that

all the adjustment straps attached to the flysheet

are slackened off to give the maximum slack while

pitching your tent.

■ Locate black pole sleeves on roof section of

flysheet and insert 5 of the curved roof poles.

■ Fit the bent end of 10 standard upright poles into each side of curved roof

poles.

■ Locate end of each upright pole into the corresponding pin and ring on the

pole anchor straps – this will require a little effort.

■ Attach black clips to each of the upright poles and tension the pole end

straps.

■ Once connected at both ends, lay each arch on the ground – the ends of

the poles should point towards the back of the tent.

■ Peg out straps at both corners of rear end of tent using tent pegs supplied.

■ With one person at each side of the tent gather all the poles together and lift

into an upright position.

■ Pull flysheet forward away from pegged points until tent takes shape.Then

peg opposite two anchor straps by the front doorway making the base of the

tent taut (not overstretched) – ensure all poles are in line. You may also need

to peg out guylines on each end of the tent to secure its shape.

■ Peg down all pole points through the metal rings with the supplied pegs –

make sure that poles are aligned with the adjacent seams.

■ Excluding annexe area, peg down remaining flysheet pegging points, as

well as all guylines, using supplied pegs.

■ Poles with black flat end join to form two adjustable brow poles. Brow poles

fit along the length of the brow of the tent to help stabilise its structure. Look

inside the tent and you will see a small black pocket in each corner above the

window level. Fit the black ends of the extendable poles into each pocket and

extend to stabilise. Tighten with the triangular screw and

secure with additional ties

■ Locate small sleeves on each side of tent and insert

corresponding thin black poles. Black poles are curved

and secured into metal eyelets

■ Fit together poles marked with yellow bands to form an arch. This fits inside

the tent – the side area or annexe. Secure with Velcro fastenings and push

the pole’s metal pins into the ground.

■ Insert annexe groundsheet and secure with Velcro straps and other

fastenings.

■ Peg out annexe anchor straps and guylines, You will now need to zip

groundsheet onto the base of the inside of flysheet with corresponding zips.

■ Open out three inner tents inside the flysheet and position to correspond

with matching colour-coded straps and toggles.

■ Locate corresponding fastenings and attach the inner tents to the inside of

the flysheet. Start with the rear clips, toggles and straps and work forwards

towards

the porch.The central fastenings are colour-coded.

■ There is an expandable hole in the centre of the groundsheet which has

been included so that the inner tents can be pegged to the ground.

■ The red-marked poles are required to peg out the canopy. Zip on canopy

and shape with colour-coded canopy poles only in good weather. Never leave

canopy unattended.

■ Remaining steel poles join to make two door poles. Assemble when

required and use to hold open door entrance so that you can move freely in

and out of your tent.

GENERAL PITCHING GUIDELINES

POLES

Assembly Take care when assembling poles. They should slot together

easily and without force. Corresponding poles are often joined with elastic 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 force long poles into sleeves. Gently

feed material onto the poles, gathering short lengths and gradually pulling the

material over the poles.

Arching Where possible, insert all main poles into sleeves before arching

them. Arch the first pole while flat on the ground and then you may need help

as pole arches will form more easily when holding the centre of the

structure upright.This is particularly important when erecting tents with

diagonal poles. If poles don’t fully arch to connect with the corresponding pin

and ring or eyelet, check that the pole is inserted correctly 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 susceptible to damage at the seams, doorways,

pegging points and zips – particularly in strong winds. Note:Tent material

slackens when wet but will re-tighten naturally when it dries.

All zips should be closed during assembly.This is important when pegging out

the tent. Leaving zips undone may cause you to over-tighten your tent and

you may not be able to close them once the tent is fully assembled.

Avoiding leaks Keep inner and outer tents well apart in wet weather. Contact

between the two could result in leaking.

PIN AND PEG

Pin and Ring system Each end of the tent poles fits onto a corresponding

metal pin. The metal pin fits into the metal ferrule on the end of each pole (Fig

2). It may require a little extra force to push the pole into an arch to fit it into

the second pin. Some pins are located close to each other. Refer to the

pole points to check that you are selecting the right pin. Rings attached to pins

are to be pegged to the ground to secure the position of the poles and

maintain the shape of the tent.

Pegging your tent Each tent comes with a bag of tent pegs. These are

required to anchor the tent to the ground. For maximum anchorage, 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

Locate with care Most Royal tents have luminous guylines which make them

more visible when it starts to get dark When pegging out guylines it is

important to consider where they will be most conveniently placed to avoid

tripping while providing the best anchorage for the tent.
