Difficulty in Connection:

Ensure both the mesh shelter and tent are fully erected and stable. Verify that the tunnel is oriented correctly, with the appropriate end facing each structure. Check for any obstructions or misalignments in the hooking or covering mechanisms.

Tunnel Sagging or Instability:

Ensure all pegs are firmly driven into the ground and ropes are taut. Adjust the tension of the ropes evenly. Check that the mesh shelter and tent are also securely anchored and stable, as their stability affects the tunnel.
