• Locate metal grommet holes,
on the underside of the canopy
• Insert pin end of pole
• Start with corner poles
• All four corner poles should be
installed FIRST
• Stand poles up—this is done in steps,
a 60º angle is require, for each corner
pole—then vertical, after all four
corners are ready
• Ropes should be attached
• A commonly used knot for securing
a rope to stake is the clove-hitch
1.) Make two loops
2.) Cross loops by placing second loop
over the first
3.) Place the combined loops over stake
Option: loops can be form directly
on stake
4.) Pull on both ends to tighten rope
Note: outward force tightens and
inward force loosens the knot—when
making adjustments
5.) Excess line should be pulled half-
way up the rope and tied off
• Grab center pole(s) walk under canopy
(two people required)
• Insert center pole pin through metal
plate and grommet, at center of canopy
• To raise pole, have one person hold the
pole near the upper half and person
two, at the bottom end—raise upward
and vertical
• For multiple poles; Insert first pole
(as above), keep angle at 45 degrees to
allow more stability, as you work on the
other pole(s)
• Install next center pole in vertical
position—then, go back to first pole,
lift and adjust to vertical
