It may seem like you’ll bend the pole to break-
ing but you won’t. Grip the pole diagonally
opposite from the pole you are inserting to
provide extra leverage. Make sure to align the
short side of the fixture with the short side of
the lantern.
ASSEMBLY
Remove the Lantern body from the storage sack
and unfold. Attach frame to fixture. Place pole
ends into corresponding holes in frame.
1
With the corners of the lantern body aligned
with the poles, gradually pull one corner of
the body up along the pole as far as it will go.
Then move to another corner and do the same.
Repeat with each corner.
4
Optional: Attach skirt using the hook-
and-loop. Start with one skirt corner
and work your way around the
perimeter of the Lantern for an even
and level installation.

5Be sure to align poles with seams in the body.
Connect hook and loop tabs of the Lantern
body for a good fit. Once completed, your
lantern should appear like the image on the
front page. DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE
Disassemble and repack the Soft Lantern with Skirt Kit by following the
assembly instructions in reverse.
