OK, it took me nearly an hour to put my 'quick erect' Khyam up and I'm panicking - calm me down....

Phew... Haven't put a tent up for 2 years and just struggled like mad to put it up in the garden - am exhausted and never want to go anywhere near it!

I forgot to peg out as I went along and at one point the whole thing blew right over - terrifying.

Aarrgghhh! We've just bought it with money I haven't got and I want to love it - tell me it'll get easier...

Is it one with the frame on the outside?

If it is, peg out the groundsheet first, then put the main frame up and guy rope it, then do the other stuff.

I could do ours in half an hour

I did the groundsheet last Now it doesn't fit the shape of the tent. Aarrgghhh.

It's the one where you click the poles - should take about 10 minutes

Yes, I know!

You have to do the groundsheet first and then match up the tent - you will get really fast with practice!
