    For years my other half and myself struggled to put up our 4 man tunnel tent. Many swear words could be heard drifting across the camp site. Last year I went to a local site by myself just to check it over before the camping season.
    It was windy and I thought this will never work. Pinning the corners down and putting in the middle pole first followed by the front then the back was incredibly easy. In fact it was easier and way less stressful than both of us working on it. When I put the front one in I guy roped it out just to be on the safe side because it was rather windy. The tension of the pegged out corners kept the middle one up.

    I decided against putting the pins in the end of the poles as it is very tight and felt like it was going to damage the pole. Its fine to just put them through the metal ring then peg that down. Also I used more heavy duty pegs along with the pegs it came with. Hopefully that's of some help to someone.

    Does the tent not need pegging at the base of each pole?

    Just bought a sendoro 4 , found the middle pole very tight to get the peg in the end of the pole , watched the video and it doesn't show him getting the peg in, bit of a fault or eases with wear?, any tips,,went by the video.

    I’ve just bought the Sendero 4 tent from go outdoors, but it’s from eurohike and not freedom trail. Does anyone know if this is the same tent? I love the size of this one but I’m not sure if it’s the same as the one I just got

      Yep! I bought the 6 man version of this tent for Download. I did my research and beware if you buy this tent, buy a roll of velcro. A design flaw is that the door of the tent does not zip at the bottom and only has a little clip in the centre, so in the wind and rain it will flap about and let water in. You'll wanna attach velcro to the bottom of the doorway and the door so it doesn't flap about in the wind.

    That bit about the poles being colour coded always confuses me.
