The first time you put up your tent it may take over half an hour as you have to
attach all the guy ropes. This is a one off thing so the next time you put it up it will
be much quicker.
To keep your tent looking its best always try to keep the canvas off the ground
and don't walk on it in shoes. You can do this easily by always keeping it on the
groundsheet and off the grass. It is worth the effort.
Putting up an Emperor Bell Tent
1) Unpack the bell tent and get the canvas out of its bag. Using that bag as a
base to stop you loosing bits lay out all the pegs and guy ropes.
2) Lay out the ground sheet and
position and pin it down tightly
with the smallest set of pegs
