taut and positioned correctly over the tent.
9. When pegging out the silver PORCH poles, make sure the ropes
are at a 45° angle to pull the flap evenly. In light rain you can
remove the middle section to allow any water build up to run off.
In heavy rain you may have to pull the flap down to stop water
build up.

PACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Pack the poles and pegs into their bags, place into their separate
frame bag. Evenly layout the fly inside the tent inner (this is best
done when the inner is still pitched) leaving all doors and windows
open. Fold the inner tent floor from each end to the centre and fold
the front room over the inner from front to back. Fold again to the
width of the tent bag. Roll from front to back, forcing all of the air
out the back door. Roll into the tent bag provided.
