Canopy
corner opening

Canopy
ropes
Attach 1.5˝strap, hook end
to quick link
Important:
make sure canopy
ropes aren’t tangled!
Attach a
1.5˝strap with ring end
(each base plate)
• Under canopy you will see several
short ‘side release buckle straps’—
connect these to frame (eave bars)
• Raise other side of tent (2 people
required)—start at a corner
• Insert leg poles—
the leg poles should
be vertical at this step
• Slide base plate onto these legs—
secure canopy to remaining base plates,
with corresponding 1.5˝ strap, at
each leg
• TIGHTEN ALL 1˝and 1.5˝RATCHET STRAPS
• Fully tighten short straps, under canopy
• Lastly, secure base plates to ground by
hammering in the ‘base stakes’
STEP 10. INSTALL REMAINING LEGS
Insert leg poles (and base plates) on other side
Center Mast
Pole and
Bottom
(unlock hitch
pin)
Height of center
pole can be adjusted
to obtain proper
tension with canopy
Center Mast Pole
• For every leg pole, there is a base
plate and a 1.5˝ ratchet strap assembly
—connect the straps as each leg is
Installed
• Connect hook end to quick link and
ring end to base plate hook
(check that canopy ropes are not tangled)
• Tighten strap, before moving to the next
leg (not at 100%—secure fully at the end
of assembly)
See (
page 7
) for Ratchet Strap use
• One side of canopy still remains on tarp
• Lift center mast (two people will get
this step done quicker)—walk under
canopy, keeping the pole angled
• Insert mast pin into grommet at center
of canopy (make sure entire pin is
through and visible from outside)
• With the pole at an angle (not vertical),
lay notched bottom near the outer
end of the top cable—then slide the
bottom of pole towards the center
• Make sure mast pin stays in place
• At center, where cables cross, position
notched bottom over all the cables
• Lock hitch pin around cables to the
other side of center pole bottom
