Fast Frame
1. Remove the covering bag and stand the Fast Frame on its feet.
2. With 2 people, stand one either side of the folded up Fast Frame and grab the scissors, pushing the two arms
together and lifting upwards and outwards, pulling the Fast Frame apart as far as you can go. Then step inside
the Fast Frame and grab the central scissors, pushing the two arms together to allow the Fast Frame to unfold.
3. Standing inside the tent, push the tensioning button in, put your foot on the foot plate and move the sliding
knuckle upward over the button. Moving outside the tent, pull the roof valance down straight. Repeat for all 4
legs.
4. Each person stand on the same side of the Fast Frame (one on each corner) – see picture A below. Lift up the
legs. Let the legs fall down until the locating pin slots into the hole half way up the leg. The Fast Frame will now
be higher one side – see picture B below.

actual walls. Attach the walls to the legs using the “ball and loops”.
8. Fit together the ground rails using the locating buttons.
9. Slide the ground rails along the bottom of the walls and attach to the legs using the foot pins and R-Clips through
the holes at the bottom of each leg.

Care of your Fast Frame
Transport
The Fast Frame may be transported folded up and upright with the top attached. It may be laid down for transport but in
this case the top should be removed as the fabric may get caught in the scissors and be damaged.
Cleaning
The fabric of the top and walls may be cleaned with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before packing away.
Use
The Fast Frame is not designed to be left erected unattended in periods of heavy rain, as rainwater may accumulate on
the top causing the fabric to tear. If wet, the fabric should be allowed to dry thoroughly before packing away to avoid the
risk of mould.
As we are unable to erect the Fast Frame for you, it is important it is secured as per the instructions. It is up to the buyer
to decide if ground, weather and wind conditions are suitable for the use of the Fast Frame.
If heavy weather or strong winds are expected, additional precautions should be taken to secure the Fast Frame down.
The unit is not designed for use in extreme weather conditions.
Additional water proofing can be added by using the seam sealant on the seams of the Fast Frame roof.
