DETERMINE THE ANCHORING POINTS
1.
Determine the centre of the star tent. Place one of the rings of the measuring rope where
the centre of the star tent is to be located and anchor this point temporarily with a peg.
2. Form a triangle with the measuring rope and determine where the f irst 2 ground anchors
of the tent should be.
3.
Ensure that the measuring rope is tight and is not doubled over anywhere in order to
correctly determine the anchoring points.
4. Place a peg through the two other rings of the measuring rope and into the ground up to
around 5 cm f rom the soil. These are the f irst two anchoring points.
