I wrote up a short article on a technique I have found really helps with tents similar to Nemo Meta 1p or other single pole pyramid tents like it (i.e., Lunar Solo).

From MLD Solomid XL pitching instructions,

”NOTE: Use a small bungee loop on any center panel tie-outs to limit wind force on that tie-outs. DO NOT stake out a center side panel tie-outs too much – it should only move the wall a couple of inches out at most! DO NOT pull it so far it changes the shape of the mid-wall.”

So not wise in windy conditions?
