How to pitch Trailstar Innernet?

I've just bought the innernet for the trailstar and I can't make head or tails of the instructions on how to pitch it. I understand I'm to use the bungee cord provided to attach the innernet corners to the shelter corners. How is this done? It's not obvious to me.
Is it expected that you'll leave the two items attached together, or is there a way to easily clip and unclip the bungee onto the shelter corners?
Why does it come with two different thicknesses of bungee cord?

Any help would be much appreciated as I'd like to get out it in this month. Cheers all
 
Treat the inner as an independant tent so to speak & it will be simpler for you,
1. Erect the trailstar in the normal way.
2. Cut your thicker bungee cord for each tie out point x 4 all made up in the same way. (see photos) I have 1 @ 60cm & 3 @ 55cm.

3. If looking from the front zip side my back right is the one at 60cm & the other 3 are @ 55cm (You can trim them down if you want to go longer )
4. Clip the inner clip to the outer clip at the apex of the trailstar inside, ( I use a half tennis ball over the top of my walking pole with different cordage lengths instead of the clip as it allows me different heights if I need them.)
5. Once your trailstar inner is up simply stretch the cords out & hook over your pegs that are holding the outer Trailstar tarp.

Thats it, nothing too complicated.

Your smaller bungee cord is for using on your clip outs which attach to the inner side of the TS, I never found a need to use the thinner stuff & use it as a drying line for socks & shirts inside the TS . Simply attach 2 small clips to the ends & stretch between inner tie out points.

I never leave my inner attached I always detach & pack away separately to keep it dry.

Any probs drop me a PM.

These are the best photos I can find of mine to give you an idea of how it looks inside with small sock hangar bungee between inner & outer at the back of my pack (left photo).

Yes. A folding Cascade job. I have one. @Seòrsa's is nicely tarted-up! Reflectix tape or metal tape to protect the corrugated plastic of the table, and to reflect heat up, I'm guessing...

cheers! looks nifty, i've just ordered two.

so, with the innernet bungees - does this tie you to a certain setup? i feel like choosing bungee lengths will tie me to a fairly specific configuration and will come at the cost of flexibility. i'd like to be able to position the innernet in various places around the shelter depending on what the ground is like. does your bungee system commit you to a specific setup?

Nope, you can position it wherever you want underneath the TS, Ive had the inner in multiple positions depending on terrain & conditions, door straight out in front, door the the left, door to the right never been a problem. The TS is so versatile it can be changed to any configuration in a matter of minutes depending on weather conditions etc, but my advice to you is get out & play with it in the various positions before you commit to anything.
What suits me might not suit you, I can only advise you.
