• When building or assembling anything
above shoulder height, wear a hard hat
• Steel toe boots are recommended
• Inspect the site, look for overhead and
underground obstructions— such as
utilities
• Call your local utility to have utility
lines marked (call 3–5 days ahead)—
call811.com
is a good resource—
‘click’ 811 in Your State
• Inspect all ropes and tie lines
• Inspect poles, making sure there are
no bends or breaks
• Replace or repair any items in poor
condition
• Spread tarp (sold separately) in the
tent location, to protect canopy—
tarp/tarps should be as large as canopy
• Place eave bars, corner fittings, side
fittings and connectors on tarp
• Connect all fittings
• See (
appendix
A
) for your tent plan,
eave bars layout and more information
• The last cable is attached differently
see (
figure A
)
• Because of the tension build-up,
the last cable is connected easier in
this manner
• Lift the last corner, 3 feet or higher
to connect the last cable end to the
corner hook—
Lifting corner actually reduces the
distance between the two corners
STEP 3. CONNECT EAVE BARS (40 Hex)
