First of all put your ground sheet down roughly where you want your awning (if you have bought a ground sheet). Then pull awning through the awnig rail. Then insert the 3 fibre glass thru the pockets on top of the awning, bend rail fibre rails and insert the steel peggs on the awning into each pole. Pull the nylon cord to tension the peg into the pole. Somebody will need to hold the poles whilst you do all three. I then insert the Steel tensioning bar inside the awning which will then hold all three poles up right. Then peg in the two corners of the awning as close to the caravan as possible. After that insert all the groung pegs around the awning. Then peg in the tension ropes and it is done. Should take about 15mins. The ultima does not fit the caravan sides completely but is a good easy to install awning.
