Verify that all seams are properly taped and intact. Check the ground sheet for any damage. Ensure the tent is pitched on a slightly elevated surface if possible to prevent water pooling.

Ensure rod sections are fully connected and aligned before inserting them into the tent sleeves. If a section is bent, carefully straighten it before proceeding.
