1.
A minimum of 6 people and 2 frame tent jacks are recommended for the proper installation of this tent. Refer to the
parts list at the top of the diagram to make sure you received all parts required for proper installation of this tent.
2.
The layout begins with the frame parts being positioned on the ground in the approximate location they will be in
when the frame is assembled. The perimeter parts are laid out to form the perimeter, and the roof support parts are placed
in the interior in their general locations. Laying out the parts in this way facilitates the assembly. (See Diagram 30’ X 45’
Layout)
3.
Begin the frame assembly with one of the 6 way crowns (DIAGRAM #4). Attach the double tube HIP rafters (21’10.5”
red) to the 6 way crown fitting (MAKE SURE THE ROUND PART OF THE DOUBLE TUBE SLIDES OVER
THE FITTING AND IS INSTALLED SO IT IS ABOVE THE “U” SHAPED PART OF THE TUBE). Each
21’10.5’’
red tube should be angled toward a corner (DIAGRAM #D). Line up the holes in the double tube pole with those
in the fitting (the hole closest to the center of the fitting should be lined up with the end of the tube, the bolt goes
through the hole in the tube and through the hole farthest from the center of the fitting: ALL PINS SHOULD
BE FASTENED THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE TUBE AND THE HOLE CLOSEST TO THE OUTSIDE EDGE
OF THE FITTING. Bolt the double tube hip rafters to the 6 way crown using a bolt and wing nut. (Install the bolt so
that the wing nut is pointed towards the ground to prevent the bolt from puncturing the tent top during installation)
4.
Attach the double tube rafters (16’1” green) to the three downward points of the 6 way crown using the same technique
as in step 3 (DIAGRAM #C). You should now have 5 tubes coming off the 6 way crown.
5.
Attach the adjustable double tube brace connecting the two double tube rafters (16’1” green) located directly under
the 6 way crown. Place the brace on the double tube rafter by aligning the holes in the rafters with that of the brace,
attach the brace to the rafters using a SQUARE pin and bail. (The brace should be installed so that the cable
brack-
ets on the square brace are pointing toward the ground) Also, secure the brace by placing a SQUARE pin and bail in the
adjustment slot located in the center of the brace. The brace adjustment should be adjusted to its longest position for this
particular application. (DIAGRAM #5)
6.
Attach a SINGLE TUBE spreader (14’4” red) from the 6 way crown across the top Using a ROUND Pin & Bail and
connect it to the second 6 way crown to begin constructing the other side of the frame. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 to attach
the remaining 21’10.5” HIP rafters, 16’1” rafters, and the brace to the 16’1” rafters (DIAGRAM #C, #6, & #D).
7.
Attach the two shorter cables (3 ft) that are attached to the “O” ring of the 4 point cable assembly to the brackets on
the brace just below the 6 way crown fitting. Secure the cables to the brace using the carabiner clips that are attached to
the cable assembly.
8.
Attach the other ends of the 21’10.5” hip rafters to the corner fittings by sliding the double tube pole over the fitting.
Line up the hole of the double tube with those of the fitting and secure it with a bolt and wing nut. (Place the bolt in the
hole farthest from the center of the fitting and remember that the bolt should be installed so that the wing nut is on the
bottom side of the tube facing the ground) (DIAGRAM #1)
9.
Attach the 16’1” double tube rafters to the side tee fittings by sliding the rafter over the fitting. Line up the hole of the
double tube with those of the fittings and secure it with a bolt and wing nut. (The bolt should be installed so that the wing
nut is toward the ground). (DIAGRAM #2)
10.
Attach the remaining two longer ends of the 4 point cable assembly to the rings located on the side tees.
