TIP - For tents starting from 10 x 10 m it is not easy to place the centre pole in the desired position
right away. It’s best to initially place one pole in a random location so that the canvas is kept
floating in order for the poles to be positioned in the correct locations. The first pole that you have
used as a support is then finally the last to be placed in the correct position.
STEP 7: PUT THE TENT UNDER TENSION
Once all of the poles are upright, put the stretch canvas under the correct tension by tightening
the tension straps.
It’s best to tighten the tension straps evenly and increase the tension gradually. For example, you
can go around the tent several times until you achieve the correct tension.
For each pole, it’s best to start with the tension strap that comes out from the pole. Tighten the
tension strap which is attached to the pole more easily by using a second person who pulls the top
of the pole outwards.
To bring the side clamps under tension smoothly, one person pulls the pole towards themselves,
while the other person tensions the strap.
