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
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.
