pop up - wrestle down

So the tent pops up - very good, well done tent, the problem is that the tent doesn't just "pop down" again afterwards - to be fair we were warned by the girl in the shop who suggested " just discard after use as that would be easier than trying to dismantle it" but i don't spend good money on a tent just so i can throw it away and how hard can it really be?! well i'm here to tell you that after a wrestling session that would see me lose (but not after i had gone several bouts lasting several hours) that my garden is sporting a permanent fixture in the shape of a tent - until i chuck it out!
