Important:
the location of the anchors must be determined very accurately. If the
corners are not precisely located, the awning will not be properly installed.
Therefore, please check the distance using the tape measure. The distance between
the outer edges of the anchors is 5 cm less than the size of the awning. For example,
for a 420 cm awning, the length should be 415 cm, and for a 550 cm awning – 545
cm.
Temporarily use two hooked pins to determine the location of the anchors. Stick one
of the two pins into the ground where you plan to place the first corner anchor. Attach
the rope with a loop on one side to the pin;
insert the second pin into the rope loop on the other side, unwind and tighten it so
that the rope reaches its maximum length;
if done correctly, the end of the rope will automatically become the seat of the second
anchor;
check the distance with a tape measure.
If you want to assemble the LetoTent over an already installed pool, also use a rope
and tape measure to locate the anchors. Stretch the rope over the pool from the two
ends, working in pairs, project the points on the ground using a plumb rule to mark
the location of anchors with the pins.
f) Use a hammer to drive the anchors into the ground at the locations of the two pins.
Thus, the hinges on the anchors should be located outside, otherwise, the item would
not fold.
Make sure that the anchor is hammered to the ground at a right angle.
If necessary, slightly turn the anchor to align its position. Turn the hinge assembly
on the anchors so that the pins are turned upwards, this will prevent them from
running into the ground.
Do not hammer the anchor too deep into the ground, leave some space for
unhindered 90-degree rotation of the hinge assembly to the right and left from the
vertical position.
Step 3: Insert the frame into the awning
а) Put the awning on the ground and unfold it, as shown in the instructions on the
video. This way, you will prepare the awning for inserting the ties to the
blue/red/gray tunnels.
Then, insert the fiberglass frame starting from the awning pole along the tunnels
(meridians) of the canvas (7 or 9, depending on the model);
