Installation
- Layout the Site-As an example we are using the twenty by twenty canopy. Spread drop cloths or tarps over the exact location where you want the tent setup. Any sharp objects which must remain on site under the canopy should be padded or taped. Assemble side poles and lay straight out form each pole hole in the canopy. Drive a stake One foot from each pole. The stake must be driven through the ring attached to each guy rope as shown.
2. Raise the Sidepoles Start at opposite corners. Insert side poles into the pole holes and raise so that the bottom of the poles slant towards the center of the canopy. Adjust the guy Ropes Continue with the other two corners and finally the sides.
3. Raise the Center Pole- Assemble the Three piece center pole and insert into the Center Pole Hole. Raise to the upright position and tie off the jump rope to the center pole.
4. Side Pole Adjustment- Tighten guy ropes and then set the side poles to the upright position. Adjust the pole positions and guy rope tension to properly tighten the canopy.
5. Take Down- Loosen all guy ropes. Layout your drop cloths or tarps. Work backwards through steps 1 through 4 for disassembly.
