Safety Notes
Warning: The Aloha Cabana is intended for concrete Install only. Installer is solely re-
sponsible for evaluating the quality of the concrete and its suitability for this structure.
Concrete installation surface must be level.
Manpower Required:
Four installers should be able to assemble any size frame with fabric in two hours.
Caution:
Please read through this assembly manual completely before beginning your installation. Be sure the proper
equipment and safety precautions are in place. We hope that you enjoy the design features of the Aloha Cabana.
1. Be aware to avoid contact of frame sections with any overhead power lines near the site.
2. Consult your local utility locator service or the National Utility Locating Contractors Association (NULCA) prior
to installation in order to avoid all underground power lines and gas lines or other utility easements.
3. Keep site clear of debris to avoid tripping, especially while carrying frame parts or bundle of fabric.
4. When moving frame sections by hand, use proper lifting techniques to protect the back, and avoid pinching
fingers while making hardware connections.
5. Do not drag bundle of fabric on concrete, asphalt, or ground as this can cause damage to the fabric from abra-
sion through the bag.
6. The installation method described here requires coordination of tasks between workers. A safe installation is
dependent on that coordination. Work cooperatively as a team.
7. This tent is manufactured for use as a temporary sun shade structure. Evacuation is recommended if threaten-
ing or windy weather occurs.
