Or the instructions weren't that clear.

For set up. Connect those thin little ribbons that go across from the Key Corner (one with the pockets.

Stake in the Key Corner. Then pull tight, and stake an adjacent corner. Now, the third corner, you pull tight to the second stake, as well as pulling the ribbon tight. Do the same for the next corner (#4), then corner #5 will be really easy to pull tight between 1 and 4.

You basically start from the key corner (back of the tent), and go around in a circle. If you do that, it gets quite tight on the walls, and won't flap very much in the wind.
