Putting up a Standard Bell Tent
1) Unpack the bell tent
2) Lay out the ground sheet and find the slightly longer
side which is where the door goes. Rotate the ground
sheet so the door is facing the desired direction and pin
it down tightly with the smallest set of pegs
3) Make sure door is zipped shut and lift the
canvas onto the ground sheet. Line up the
tent's door zip with the middle of the longest
side of the groundsheet.
