with straps and pegs as soon as it is assembled.
Make sure to check if the marquee/tent is covered by your home contents
insurance.
Marquees/tents must be evacuated under extreme weather conditions.
In the event of snow always remove snow from the roof of the marquee/tent regularly to
prevent snow from building on the roof as heavy snow can cause the marquee/tent to
collapse.
In the event of rain there is a risk of rain puddles building up on top of the roof of the
marquee/tent. Heavy rain puddles can cause the roof to collapse. It is your responsibility
to ensure rain puddles do not build up. As a precaution, make sure the roof of the
marquee/tent is stretched out properly and adequately over the side frames of the
marquee/tent and remove rain water regularly.

temperatures below zero always unpack and repack your marquee/tent indoors to avoid
the risk of cracking parts.
The marquee/tent must be totally dry before you repack and store it to avoid mildew.

Maintenance and care
Annually or more often, the unit should be completely inspected internally and externally to make
certain the unit remains properly installed and secured .Particular attention should be paid to:
Hardware-check all carriage bolts and hardware connectors to be certain they are in place and
tightened.
Weather trends, the unit will strain against the base plate flange under windy conditions, pegs
hardware, connection to frame members should be maintained tight and depth of pegs should be
checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set.
Snow Accumulation -All snow accumulation on the main cover should be removed as soon as
possible. Tap the main cover from the inside with a broom or soft brush to clear cover.
Main Cover Lacing-the poly rope that secures the main cover to the bottom rail of the frame
assembly should be checked, and adjusted as needed. The tension on the main cover should be
uniform from end and side to side. Rope ends must be tied off onto the frame members at the ends
on each side.
Cleaning -cover and doors can be cleaned with a mixture of light detergent and water. A soft
bristle brush with the mixture can be used to loosen any hard dirt, mold, or buildup on the cover.
After cleansing, the cover should be rinsed thoroughly to avoid any chemical reaction from
residual detergent. Allowing dirt and debris to sit on cover over an extended time will damage
cover irreparably.
Severe Weather-in preparation for inclement weather, completely secure the door of your buildings

Step #1 --SECURING BASE FLANGES
Sit the building boxes in the chosen location. Remove all the
components from packaging to ensure all components are present by
checking with the Part List.
Figure 3 Position of Base Flanges
Begin by determining exact location of the four (4) corners of the building. Mark front
edge and side-to-side width of assembly on ground. Drive alignment stakes into the
ground outside of the markings, and draw alignment strings along both ends and sides
of the building to the dimensions shown in Figure 3. The outline of the strings will
represent the final location of the base flanges. The initial location of each Corner
Base Flanges (5R & 5L) is critical to the alignment and fit of the frame components
and cover.
Locate the Left Corner Base Flange and Right Corner Base Flange(5R&5L). Secure
the base flanges with Stake Pegs (Part #17). Measurements shown in Figure 2 are to
the center of the upright sockets on each Base Flange.
The Shelter must be secured to a firm surface that can receive and retain augers and
pegs firmly in position. The shelter should be installed on FIRM GROUND, not on
SWAMP, SOFT/WET GROUND. The Base Flanges must be secured so they cannot
be moved. Arches are tensioned at their base as they insert into the Base Plate sockets.

Step #2 --ARCH ASSEMBLY
Assemble each arch on ground. Each arches consist of:
One curving roof tube (Part #1)
Two roof curving tube (Part #2/2A)
Two curving sidewall tube (Part # 3/3A)
Figure 4 the arch installation
Connect the arches by Using the hexagon bolts with washers and nuts through
predrilled holes in frame members. Do not tighten down the nuts completely until
frame is fully assembled and set in place.
THE FRONT PANEL FRAME ASSEMBLY
Figure 5 Frame Installation for Front Panel
Assemble the front panel frame. According to Figure 5, connect the end wall frame by
Using the bolts with washers and nuts through predrilled holes in frame members. Do
not tighten down the nuts completely until frame is fully assembled and set in place.
NOTE: Please notice that the part code of the arch sections.
The sections of different arches are not the same.
Check with the Part List and the Sketch Figure #1.

Step #3 --ERECTING ARCHES
Figure 6Attaching Arches to Base Flanges
Begin frame assembly by erecting Front Arch into Front Corner Base Flanges. Place left
frame sidewall tubing into the upright tube socket into the Left Base Flange. Place Hexagonal
Bolt through base flange socket and arch sidewall tube hole.
In order to insert Right Sidewall Tube into Right Front Corner flange, it is necessary to
support arch on left side to prevent movement. Position the Right Sidewall Tube over the
Right Corner Base Flange.
Once the Right Sidewall Tube is placed into right corner base flange, insert a hexagonal bolt
and nut to prevent it from popping out of the socket while
assembly continues.
Next stand first interior arch up to repeat insertion into Base flanges.
Figure 7
Immediately after putting first interior arch into place, connect Front Arch and Interior
arch using Roof Purlin Tubes at top ridge and side shoulder cures of arches. Secure
the Roof Purlin tubes into place using carriage bolts and nuts.
Nets install the Wind Brace supports(part#13) and Tube Clip(part#13A) that connect
the Front Arch to the first Interior Arch. The Wind Braces give the arch assemblies
strength as a unit. Use Bolt M10Χ30 at the end of each Wind Brace Support to
secure.
Continue to install other Arches Assemblies in the same manner. Overlap pinched
ends of Roof Purlin onto same carriage bolts inside frame assembly.
Next check entire frame assembly for square and plumb. Next tighten frame bolts
adequately. DO NOT over tighten bolts so as to oval or compress frame
components.。

Step #4--POSITION ROOF COVER
As figure 8shows, when ready to install Roof Cover, unpack cover and lay parallel to
building frame on one side. Cover must be pulled over top of frame assembly without
being snagged or stressed on any frame members. Use multiple ropes over top of
frame as shown in picture below. Having another person inside frame on a ladder to
assist in getting Roof Cover over frame will insure the cover will go on without any
damage.
Figure8:
Pull the Roof Cover over the frame evenly
First circle the band for tie down ratchet(part#16) around the tensioning tube through
the cuts on the pocket of the roof cover.
Then put the bands through the reel of the ratchet.
Figure 9Fastening the Roof Cover

Step #5--TENSION COVER ON FRAME FROM SIDE-TO-SIDE
As Figure 9shows, when Roof Cover is over top of Frame Assembly, insert Cover
Tensioning Tubes into pockets along both sides of Roof Cover. Centre Roof Cover
over Frame assembly both side to side and front to back. Align one side of Roof
Cover evenly front to back. Add Band for Tie Down Ratchet at each point along the
cover opening, as shown. Put Band for Tie Down Ratchets over Cover Tensioning
Tubes at each Base Plate along one side. Bands do not attach to Tensioning Tubes, but
loop around and secure at both ends on ratchet.
Next take up slack in tie bands by ratcheting the mechanisms, tightening cover.
Evenly adjust ratchets on both sides of roof cover to take wrinkles out of roof cover.
DO NOT fully tighten cover yet. Leave adequate slack so that cover can also be
adjusted front to back in next step.
Step #6--TIGHTEN ROOF COVER ON FRAME FRONT TO BACK
The roof cover is tensioned from front to back by the rope lacing to grommet flaps
inside the main cover, inside the unit at both front and rear arches. Using the rope
provided, lace the main cover grommet flap around the main frame front and rear arch
pieces. Start in the top middle of each arch, and lace to each side. Add rope length by
tying pieces together or cutting as necessary.
Lace all grommets on cover inside flap with rope. Starting at the middle top point
over the door, tighten lacing only enough to take wrinkles out of the cover. Repeat for
the Rear Arch. DO NOT over tighten lacing to pull out the grommets.
After the roof cover lacing is adjusted evenly across the grommet flap, go back and
re-adjust the Tensioning Ratchets along the side edges of the Roof Cover. At this
point, the main cover can be pulled taut enough to take all excess material and
wrinkles out of cover. It will be necessary to repeat this step 2-3 weeks after unit
assembly is complete and roof over has a chance to stretch out over the frame
completely.
