You should add the quicksticks mate makes a difference in the door height and stops how loose the front panel is

Yeah loving it, extra height makes a massive difference when watching the water whilst sitting on bedchair.

Looking good!
Going to give mine it's first outing later on this week.
Only out for the day, so just my standard chair, (Trakker transformer), but going to be interesting to see how much additional headroom I've got.

So , finally got around to putting it up in the garden , rock solid especially with the storm poles. all good so far.. Then i tried to swap the skull cap off my v1 only to find contrary to advice it doesn't fit (well not very well any way). To get it anywhere tight enough i'm having to fit the tension clips to the bottom leg of the poles and then it fits where it touches. Anyone else have this issue??

Is the v1 cap different to the v2? Was told my v2 would fit.

I'm out on the bank with the new one tomorrow, using the groundsheet and skull cap from the v2. I'll let you know how it goes

V1 groundsheet fits fine. Looks to me like the 100t has a slightly different profile to the v1 which might be the problem , gonna try pegging it out slightly wider later , see if that makes any difference?

I found the skull cap bracket clips a tight fit I had to tighten them up on the thinner part of the female pole section then push the bracket clip onto the the fatter part of the female pole section and also found one of the Velcro straps slightly out of line when in place my skull cap is the cyprinus version not sure if it's classed as the v1 or v2 version

I had exactly the same problem with the clips. Can just about get the cap tight enough with the clips at the very end of the female sections. Pegged it out a couple of inches wider so the infill still fits ok which helped a bit , no matter what i do i can't get all the seams lined up , but i guess it beats going out and buying a new one.

Don't understand why some people struggling yeah they are tight but easy to get on just need to squeeze it together tightly and do it up not a problem
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
