These installation instructions will lead you through the process of installing your new shelter. The installation of the shelter
requires special attention to certain detail. Before you begin you should:
CHECK YOUR ORDER. Make sure the contents of the carton match the product numbers on your order. Contact your dealer
if there are any damaged, missing or incorrect parts.
PAY ATTENTION TO SAFETY. Because of the size and weight of certain parts, installation is recommended with no fewer
than two people. Always maintain a clean, organized work area.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS AND MATERIALS. Jardin de Ville supplies the appropriate fasteners upon
request through your dealer for anchoring the shelter securely to the ground. If you are unsure about the required anchoring
system best suited for your shelter, consult your dealer for the proper fastening method.
REVIEW ENTIRE INSTALLATION GUIDE. This step gives you the opportunity to contact your dealer to answer any
questions before you begin.

Getting Started
On a flat surface, assemble all the beams together by inserting the
plastic corners at each end. Once fully inserted, lock in
place the plastic corners with supplied screws , as shown
in view A-A. You may use pieces of the cardboard shipping box to
protect the frame from scratches.
[KC04.PL102]
[KC04.025]
Attach all side spokes to the beams of the structure with the
(6) self-tapping screws . Each side spoke
should be centered between sticker markers on the beams as
shown in view B-B. NOTE that the punched hole end of the spoke
should be facing downwards and away from the beam. (Repeat
step on all sides of the structure.)
