40’ and 50’ End Frames with the End Center Bar
Unlike the 30’ and 60’ Gabled Ends, the 40’ and 50’ End Frames do not have a center upright.
To stiffen the end eave bar so that it does not deform under the tension of the Gabled End at
the Lace Line, an end center bar is added to the 40’ and 50’ end frames only. The unique lace
pattern for Gabled ends is detailed below:
1. Lace standard tent lace down from beam to the 4th loop up from the bottom of the lace line.
2. Loop the 2nd loop through the 1st, then back up to the 3rd grommet.
3. Feed the larger 3rd loop through the 3rd grommet and through the 2nd and 4th loops, then
attach it to the stationary clip at bottom of the panel.
4. Clip the hook that rides on the web tail into the bottom channel of the end eave bar, then
feed the tail into the web buckle on the clip and cinch it down tight.
