Designing the Scarp Henry has come up with one of the most significant (IMHO) tent design improvement with his inverted V struts. They add a lot of fabric support and stability for the weight (compared to single struts or arch poles ) but at the same time they are a bit of a pain to store if not done systematically.
As another Scarp owner just found out, to store the Scarp the way it comes from TT is not that intuitive.
So this is how I do it :
1) always zip the fly up (much easier to set up correctly that way)
2) spread it out so that the floor is on top
3) fold one corner in , then fold the center strut on top of it
4) repeat 3 on the other side
5)pull the other V strut on top of the first
6) repeat 5 on the other side and tidy up the rest of the fabric
7) put pole (s) on top of folded struts and roll the tent using poles and struts to keep it taut against them.
8) smile
