slide in the ridgepole and uprights.
pull the assembled ridgepole and uprights toward the two pegged corners until the bottom of the uprights is in the position they will occupy when the tent is erected.
set a tent peg in the ground against the bottom of the uprights to prevent them from slipping.
take a long piece of rope and tie a loop in each end. Place the loop over the top pins of the uprights.
Place yourself in the middle of the line and back up, pulling the ridgepole and uprights into a standing position in the opposite direction from the pegged corners.
Peg the line to the ground with a tent peg.
Go about finishing your set up, make all of the adjustments needed and when finished remove the line and extra pegs.
