find a local park or field, take the frame along and put it together, then colour code the frame with insulating tape, make sure you put the canvas over the frame before lifting the frame to full height.
I did the colour coding of my frame tent many years ago and i can put the frame together in about twenty minutes.

Hi Jason.
the awning size is 1075, and as you say the pegging takes longer. with 9 in total and doing all the cooking for us all it provides that room and especially with the option of the L shaped lounge as in the picture.we purchased it from the bay second hand and had it extended to 1075. and as said it is only used twice a year. the site we are going to is on the edge of the new forest Godshill fordenbridge, there is a very nice pub about 500yds away very good menu and dog freindly. looking forward to it but by the end of the week we will be shaterred.oh and yes loads a dog walking
thanks
mike
