Folding a Pop Up shower tent

[Allan_L]

What's the record for folding up one of those instant pop up tents?

I got mine in the bag in just two attempts !!!
(with witnesses :) )

It pays to read the instructions first!, even if it upsets the impatient croud of onlookers !!!

No witnesses, but it took me about 30 seconds the first time I tried mine. It helps to have experience folding collapsible photographic reflectors :)

I'm sure now that I've said this that it will take me 5 minutes next time.

OK - I admit it! I haven't got mine folded right from the first time I opened it. Instructions - I've read them over and over again and I've tried. Stuff it in the bag and weigh it down seems to work! :help:

I'd better look for someone to teach me at the next camp!

I have a similar thing (sprung steel) that opens out into a drying support for clothes - I can get the right twist into that to pack it away!

how much did you PAY the witnesses Al ?

sorry i missed the attempts

you better bring it to the pony club next week so we can have a demo

The day I bought mine, the wife spent the next hour laughing at me whilst I tried to put it away.

I think I've got it licked now. I got it out for a practice on the weekend before I go up to Astrofest and it was like riding a bike! Fell back into the bag on the first attempt.

I'm probably just cursing myself for failure though on Sunday.

And we are people who have a basic understanding of some science ? :) :) :) .. I thought they were toilets .. don't feel so worried now that I found someone asleep inside one with there laptop when I was trying to take a leak :)

Hmmm!
No Geoff, I don't think so.
I am not one to tempt fate.
And I didn't say I actually knew what I was doing.

In reality I was horsing around with it, when it just fell into the right shape.
No one was more amazed than I was myself.
Last time it took me an hour and a half!!!

I think the wind the day before must have bent it into the regulation shape???
