    Have you tried using the guy ropes on each corner to tension it up.

    I replaced the flimsy ropes with some decent ones on our Oztrail one.

    I used some 6mm braided nylon cord and also used guy rope spring tensioners on the tent pegs.

    We had an oztrail frame that exploded into about 20 pieces because of the excessive water pooling.
    Had to buy another unit.

    I miss-typed the size of the nylon rope. It was 8mm I used.

    Have you tried putting a hole in it, this way it will drain and won't pool up. Easy pizzy mate
