I TRIED TO SET UP MY GREATLAND OUTDOORS 3 ROOM TENT,BUT THE MAIN POLES WOULD GET ALL TWISTED UP. IS THERE AWAY TO AVOID FROM THEM GETTING TWISTED

Question edited for clarity.

There is nothing specific to this tent, but all dome tents operate the same. Insert the poles, peg out the base. There are videos in the link.

This is a duplicate of a previously asked question on FIXYA from 2012, where an exact set of instructions could not be found, but two proposed answers were given.

For a similar but not the same tent, the scanned document still exists online:

Jim,

these are the instructions I devised as I had no instructions either...

Great Outdoors Executive 320 tent
Two rooms plus a fully enclosable veranda.
(4.9m long x 4.3m wide x 2.4m high)
Main Tent Assembly :
Lay the tent out on the ground (making allowance for the slope of the ground, prevailing wind, general access, etc).
Peg down the main corners and centres of each wall, keeping the tent square and evenly tensioned. Peg down remaining loops.
Assemble two sets of side support poles. These have been numbered (from the front, looking towards the tent (ie, facing the veranda)) :
Left-hand side : L1, L2, L3, L4 & L5 (corresponding to poles 1, 24, 3, 4 & 1).
Add front & rear supports LF1 & LF2 and LB1 & LB2 (ie, 2 sets of poles 5 & 9).
Right-hand side : R1, R2, R3, R4 & R5 (corresponding to poles 1, 24, 3, 4 & 1).
Add front & rear supports RF1 & RF2 and RB1 & RB2 (ie, 2 sets of poles 5 & 9).
Place poles in the loops along the sides ensuring that the 4 brown loops (at each end of the sides) are looped behind the projecting studs (this ensures the sides don't slide into the centres.
Lift & tension one side, then the other.
Assemble the centre poles (numbered C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 & C7 (corresponding to poles 12, 13, 8A, 24, 3, 4 & 8)).
Slide the centre poles through the centre of the tent. Use poles 14A & 15 to hold up the rear of the tent, poles 14A & A in the centre, & two further sets of 14A & 15, one set at the front of the tent & one set for the veranda. Tension by expanding the poles.
Assemble poles A, BE, C2, BE & A through the centre of the tent, clip onto ridge poles & tension. (Note : poles A should be inserted from the outside, through the elasticised holes before being inserted into poles BE).
Attach a guy rope to the rear of the tent (top of centre pole 15) & tension.
Veranda Assembly :
Assemble 4 sets of poles (10 & 30) & place in corners & centres of the veranda. Attach guy ropes & tension. Attach veranda walls (using Velcro strips).
Porch Assembly :
Select which side is to be an entrance. Unzip the window covering & use two poles (10 & 30) to lift it. Tension with 2 guy ropes on each pole.


hope the above helps.

Instructions

1. Select a flat camping area and clean the area of sticks and rocks. Remove the tent from the bag and spread out the tent body with the floor on the ground. Assemble the tent poles by connecting the attached sections at the ferrules. Set the poles on the ground and separate by size.
2. Locate the three long sleeves on the tent body. One sleeve is horizontal over the screen room and the other two cross the main tent body to create an "X". Locate the three long poles and slide one through each sleeve. Place the corresponding pins in the end of the poles. The poles will flex and erect the tent body. This step is best attempted with two or more people.
3. Attach the clips to the exposed sections of the tent poles. The clips are attached to the ten fabric and will add rigidity to the tent. Locate the next largest pole and insert it through the sleeve on the screen house. Locate the metal grommets where the screen room meets the main tent and place each end of the pole in a grommet.
4. Locate the two smallest poles. These are for the side rooms. Insert one pole through each of the side room sleeves. Attach the ferrule of one steel pole to each end of the side room pole. Insert the corresponding pins in the end of the upright poles to support the side rooms.
5. Pull on each end of the tent to ensure the floor is tight. Use a rock to pound stakes through the ground loops on the tent. Place the floor mat in front of the screen room door and use stakes to secure the mat to the ground.
6. Place the fly on the tent and make adjustments until the shape of the fly matches the tent. The fly will only cover the top of the screen room and the entire body of the main tent. Locate the D-rings on the base of the tent and attach the fly hooks to the closest rings. This will tighten the fly to the tent body.
7. Locate the guy ropes on the fly. Pull the ropes to the ground at an angle and pound stakes through the loops to anchor the tent to the ground.

Need tent poles for outdoor spirit tent

I recently borrowed a similar tent and this forum was all the instructions I had (so thanks, they helped). I have since found the instructions, scanned them and made them available to others (to view/print/download) at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1SdA-vKLONwZ05vTGZKdF9BTzQ
Paul.

the 2 longest of the poles go in an x over the center of the tent and the 2 shorter ones go arch to the sides. http://www.wenzelco.com/details.aspx?NavID=412
shows a picture very similar to your tent. If you go to image 2 it shows it with out the fly. now if you got 2 sets of 4 poles, 2 long and 2 short, and one set is all aluminum, then I would go with the aluminum set. It is less likely to collapse in high winds.

did you set tent up at home once and soak ot down with water and let it completely dry before using it?
I have several greatland tents and never have trouble
When it is raining the most important thing to do is to make SURE that nothing is touching the tent material on the inside as to that is what causes water to start to leak thru .Just like a wick. Once the tent gets wet the fibers swell and seal the material stoping the water from coming thru and this getting wet is actually the only waterproofing needed . Taking a tent down wet or damp defeats this and must be setup again and soaked and allowed to dry all over again.As for warranty you have to check the owners manual, The pole having snapped sounds like its possible it was put in place in the wrong spot

I am looking for a manual for Greatland Outdoors 2 room tent with screen porch item #15710, however, I guessed how the poles go together. I set up the tent by myself, but I recommend 2 people or more, especially if it is windy.

Start by stretching out the bottom of the tent into a square, and stake all of the perimeter tentloops to the ground, starting with the corners, with the stakes directed at a 30 to 45 degree angle under the tent, so the tent cannot easily pull them back out. Leave the yellow cords attached to the tentloops loose, so you can use the cords to help pull up the stakes when you take down the tent.

Now assemble the poles going through the loops across the front of the screen porch. Insert one end of a pole #1 into a pole #2 and thread them through the loops over the entrance to the screen porch. Put the long end of a curved pole #3 through the loops starting from one side, and attach to either side of the 1/#2 you made. Put the long end of another #3 through the loops starting from the other side and attach to the loose end of the #1/#2. You should tie the loose green cords on each corner of the sceen porch to the silver metal rings at the curved end of each #3.
Later, you will do the exact same assembly with a #3 on each side of a #1/#2 for the poles going across the back of the tent and the poles going through the pocket across the middle/top of the tent.

Now insert the small end of pole #4 into the curved end of a #3, then insert the small end of a #5 into the open end of the #4. There should be a rubber foot on the bottom of the #5 pole. Do the same thing for the other side of the porch. With help, you should be able to prop up the front of the sceen porch, pulling aganst the stakes holding the rear floor of the tent, and place the rubber feet of the #5 poles close to the center loops of the floor on each side.

Now prepare the #1/#2 poles for the rear, and attach a #3 to each side and tie the loose green cords to the silver rings on the short ends of the #3s. Prepare a #4/#5 pole the same as the front, and prop up the back of the tent, putting the feet near the side loops of the floor which are about 1/3 from the rear of the tent.

Make another #1/#2/#3, and push it through the pocket across the middle of the tent, and connect the last #3 from the other side. The side supports for the middle are pole #8 with the white clamp on the bottom, and pole #7 slid into pole #8 (The #7 was scraped off both of mine). Leave the #7 mostly inserted into the #8 until after the center is lifted up. The #6 goes on top of #7, and insert the #6 into the curved end of the #3 poles which are already in the center pocket, and tie the loose green cords to the silver rings at the short end on each of the #3s. Now lift up the center with someone helping on the other side, and put the feet of the #8 into or near the yellow loops at the center of each side. Loosen the white clamps and extend the #7 poles until the peak of the tent is at proper height.
Move the feet of the #5 poles closer to the tent, until all is tight, and you should be done!
