How to assemble a big family camping tent?

Stella

I have ordered a 8 man family tent at an online store and I wonder how to assemble such a big tent? Will it cost too much time to setup?

Answer
1. Choose a level site that is free of rocks, sticks and other debris. Spread the tent out with the floor side down. Unzip all doors.

2. Extend the tent poles by pulling out each section and inserting it into the metal ferrules. Start in the middle of the pole to reduce tension on the internal string. Set the extended poles aside.

3. Locate the center hub on the center roof of the tent. If it is not already attached to your tent model, attach it with an "s" hook.

4. Take one tent pole and slide it through one of the sleeves on the tent wall. Insert the top of the pole into one of the openings in the center hub. Repeat with the remaining tent poles.

5. Enter the tent and lift the roof by raising the center hub. The roof and tent poles will be off of the ground. One adult stays in the tent while the other works outside. Flex one of the tent poles and place the free end into the metal pin at the base of the tent. The tent pole should follow the seam line of the tent. Repeat with the remaining tent poles.

6. Attach the tent to the tent pole frame. Clip the plastic clips that are sewn to the tent walls to the tent poles. If your tent has Velcro straps instead of clips, attach the Velcro straps to the tent pole frame.

7. Stake down the tent by inserting the tent stakes through the stake loops at each corner of the tent. Pull the tent floor even and tight. Hammer the stakes into the ground at a 45 degree angle.

8. Attach the rain fly. Place the rain fly over the tent. Attach the hooks on the corners of the rain fly to the metal rings on the tent corners. If your rain fly has an additional fly pole, slide it through the sleeve at the edge of the rain fly awning. Insert each pole end into the grommets on each side of the door.

What is a good quality steel frame tent?

best family tents image

djbeske

My family has long had a Coleman steel framed family size tent. it had 2 large rooms, and we really enjoyed it. Sadly the waterproofing has worn away and we have tried but ultimately failed to reseal it. So now we want to get a new one, but can't find the same kind we had.

Our budget is about $300, but for good quality we will be willing to pay more. We're open to any brands, but Coleman is our favorite. We also prefer the kind that look similar to a cube :)

Thanks in advance!

Answer
Ah the good ol canvas coleman cabin tents to bad they don't make em like that any more. New lighter materials, better fire proofing innovative changes but you can still get Coleman quality in a similar design with their famous stay dry guarantee. Try out this one,

How do I find where my site ranks with Yahoo and Google?

Water Gard

If I have a site, let's say campingtents.com <-- not my site.

Let's say I want to "google" "family tent". My site does not come up on the first few pages I search. How can I know where my site would show up if I went through the first few thousand results without actually going through them?
