Step 5:
Connect and pin the eight (8) 10’6” hip brace pipes to the “30x Slide hip
Fitting”.
Step 6:
Now connect and pin the Special Side Tee fitting to the rafter pipe and the hip
brace pipes
Step 7:
Install the 30’ cable across from the special side tee to the opposite special side
tee across the tent. The cable should be looped over the perimeter arm of the
fitting and will keep the tent from bowing outward past the 30’ width.
Step 8:
Start at one corner of the tent and begin to connect and pin the perimeter
pipes. Install the corner fitting on the end of the 21’10” hip rafter and slide on
the perimeter pipe. Once both pipes are on the fitting, line up hole and install
the pins. Continue around the tent connecting and pinning the perimeter pipes,
corner fittings, and special side tee fittings.
Step 9:
Lay down a drop cloth to unfold the tent top on one end of the tent. Make
sure to inspect the tent top for cleanliness at this time as it becomes next to
impossible to clean the exterior of the tent once the top is installed. Unfold the
tent top and pull it over the frame shiny side up. The buckles should be on the
underside of the tent top.
**Dragging the top fabric on the ground, or pulling hard over frame parts can
damage, tear, and scratch the fabric. Be careful with your fabric.
