0 tim gray Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi thier, Dont have pics but if you look at the sections one has rope loops and the other will have eyelets and a single tie off rope. Start at the top, pass the first loop thro the eyelet, next loop thro the next eyelet and the previous loop, pull down to tension. Carry on as above until you reach the bottom and use the single strand to secure the last loop. If i remember rightly you may or may not have cover flaps to wrap around once it is laced together to provide better weather closure. Usually with toggles. It makes it much easier if you make sure the normal door type openings are laced up prior to assembly. If it is brand new old stock prepare to smell really bad after you have finished crawling around in and under it !!!!:-D Just make sure the inside is inside as it were, one of my mates managed to put one together in a funny way once.:blush: Hope this helps Regards Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gazzaw Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yep spot on, it is called Dutch lacing by the way. One thing before lacing ensure you have the correct hole to start with and all match up. The amount of times I have seen soldiers starting wrong then when they get to end have a hole left over and a space at top and have to take it all apart again.:nut: Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
