Vango Helvellyn Tent Pitching Instructions

Vango Helvellyn Tent Pitching Instructions

Flysheet First Pitching

  1. Assemble the three poles and lay them parallel on the ground. One pole will be shorter with a pre-bend, and the other two are straight. The middle sections of the poles are colour-coded to link with a tab on the end of the pole sleeve.
  2. Open the flysheet on the ground and position the tent in the desired direction.
  3. Locate the pole sleeves on the outside of the flysheet and insert the poles.
  4. On one side, locate the end of each pole into corresponding eyelets on the pole anchor straps.
  5. On the opposite side, push the poles into an arch and locate the pole ends into corresponding eyelets on the pole anchor straps. Start with the two longer poles, then the shorter pole.
  6. The tent will stand up by itself, which allows you to finalise its position. Pitch the back of the tent into the wind for a stable tent and a sheltered entrance.
  7. Peg out the 6 anchor straps where the poles insert into the eyelets, keeping the flysheet taut.
  8. Pull out the front door and peg out the adjustable anchor strap.
  9. Peg out ALL guy lines.
  10. When the front guy line is pegged out, you can choose to have either side of the front door open, or open both zips and roll up the door into the net pocket under the front guyline.
  11. Attach the inner tent using the instructions below.
  12. Lay out the porch groundsheet in the correct direction. Connect the plastic hooks at the rear corners to the rings at the pole base; then loop the front elastics around the front pegging points.

Inner Attachment

  1. To attach, open out the inner tent inside the flysheet and position it so the doorway on the inner and flysheet line up.
  2. Starting from the rear corners of the tent, attach the elasticated hooks on the groundsheet to corresponding rings on the flysheet.
  3. Suspend the inner tent by attaching toggles of the inner tent through rings on the inside of the flysheet.
