pablo7uk Posted January 8, 2020 Author Report Posted January 8, 2020 Well after much drama over the Christmas period with courier the bivvy arrived!! Very happy with it and it's very spacious! Did a practice run with it in the back garden haha Any tips on getting the material tight all round? Maybe it's because the grass was very wet but whenever I pulled the pegs tight they pulled out of the ground. commonly 1 Quote

Maybe it's because the grass was very wet but whenever I pulled the pegs tight they pulled out of the ground. Expand Looks decent...I always start at the back and do it 1 peg at a time like in a zig zag...back point 1st...then left then right then left then right...then finish on the 2 door pegs....usually you can tell when groundsheet goes in were needs pullinng/loosening. pablo7uk and elmoputney 1 1 Quote
elmoputney Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 I find one day it just happens and you learn to get it right, either that or just let it be a bit flappy will still keep you dry 😁 Agree with Highy though the groundsheet will help you keep it straight Quote
framey Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 I always angle the pegs aswell more force required to pull them out then imo finchey, pablo7uk, salokcinnodrog and 1 other 3 1 Quote

pablo7uk Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Posted January 12, 2020 Great thanks for the advice, when I did it in the garden I just placed the ground sheet in I didn't actually attach it as it was going dark haha. Next time will be on the bank anyway so will have to do it properly then, no excuses! Quote
