Weather conditions
Weather conditions cannot be predicted and can change rapidly. The installer must use good
judgment, common sense and have knowledge of the current and future weather conditions.
Be aware of the following weather conditions:
*Rain –Rain can cause water to collect in areas on the tent top. This added weight can
cause damage to the fabric. Ground moisture can also cause the frame to sink in addition to
the stakes loosing holding force.
*Wind –Do not install the tent in heavy wind conditions as it may cause damage to the top
and frame. Wind can also cause an existing installed tent to loose tension in all areas.
*Lighting –Do not install a tent in conditions where lightning can occur; All tent installers
and occupants must evacuate until lightning has ceased.
*Snow/hail/ice –Tents and shelters are not designed as permanent structures and cannot
withstand the weight of snow/hail/ice loading. These products must NOT be installed in these
conditions.
Installation site
The installation site is of the utmost importance. The installer must be aware of local building
codes and fire regulations. The installer must also examine the installation site for the proper
anchoring methods. The following must be verified to assure proper installation and prevent
damage to the product.
*Underground utilities –Always contact local utility companies prior to installation. Gas,
electrical, cable, sewer, water, oil, and septic line presence must be verified.
*Overhead utilities/obstructions –Always confirm if overhead utilities or obstructions can
cause personal injury or damage to the product during installation.
*Soil conditions –The soil conditions must be adequate to allow for secure anchoring
*General site condition –the site must be relatively flat, elevated and free of clutter and
debris.
*Area / space –the site must have sufficient space to allow for anchoring
*Accessibility –the site must be accessible for event deliveries such as trucks, vehicles as
applicable
*Evacuation / exit –the site must have adequate evacuation routes in the event of
emergency
Installer responsibilities prior to staking and anchoring:
*Assure that the canopy, tent, shelter, or structure is properly secured.
*Contact all related underground utility “call before you dig” authorities prior to staking.
*Note: Dremcor LLC assumes no responsibility for the method of installation that the installer
chooses or the failure to contact the proper authorities as noted above. Each state, county,
township or city may have unique temporary structure installation codes and requirements so
it is important that the proper codes & requirements are followed. This manual may not
recommend the correct quantity of stakes based on soil conditions at the installation site. It is
the installer’s responsibility to install additional staking or tiebacks as needed.

Securing strap with ratchet to the stake
(see below)
Option #1: Noose loop around stake
Option #2: Stake inserted to double D ring
Dremcor has both strap options available for purchase.
Double D ring option eliminates noose forming and
chance of strap pulling over top of stake

Frame part layout
*Layout the frame fittings and pipe in the location the tent will be installed. Use the
frame layout overhead view diagram described earlier in this manual.
*Place the 6 way crowns in the center as noted in the diagram. Excluding the single long
extension, the 6 way crown has 2 extensions that will not contact the ground (if placed
on a flat surface). These extensions MUST align with the 14’4” long hip rafters which are
color coded red (see photo below)
*Connect the 14’4” hip rafters (red) to the 6 way crowns by placing the R pin in the alignment
hole. The alignment hole is closest to the center of the 6 way crown. Slide the tube on the
extension. The R pin alignment hole prevents the tube from sliding too far onto the extension.
*Rotate the tube accordingly to locate the connecting hole and insert R pin. Remove the
alignment R pin and repeat steps for the other hip rafters (14’4” / red).
*Assemble the remaining components in the order below using the same procedure.
*Rafter (10’6” / green) to one 6 way crown
*Spreader (9’4” / white) to the 6 way crowns
*Rafters (10’6” / green) to the other 6 way crown

Installing tent top to frame
*Pull the tent top over the
frame. BE SURE THE TENT
TOP DOES NOT CATCH ON
THE FRAME. Occasional
rapid “fluffing” the tent top
aids this process.
*Fasten the alligator clips
loosely to the frame at each
corner. Do not tighten the
alligator clips.
*Attach the base plates to
the legs (6’8” brown or 7’8”
black) using the R pins
(see below)

Lifting the frame
*In windy conditions, locate the direction of the wind. THIS
PROCESS IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT
AND PERSONAL INJURY (see diagram below).

Leg &
base
plate
Installing corner and side legs
*Step on the base plate and lift one side of the frame. This process
requires (2) people (one at each corner on a single side). DO NOT LIFT
ONE CORNER AT A TIME.
*Insert the corner fittings into the legs and fasten using the R pins. INSERT
ALL PINS FROM THE OUTSIDE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE TOP AND
SIDEWALLS.
*Loosely install the opposite corner alligator clips to the frame
*Repeat the leg install steps to the opposite side of the tent and the side
tees.
*Center the tent top on the frame by hiding the seams. Note that this will
require some adjusting of the alligator clips/straps.

Installation procedure (continued)
Anchoring/staking
*Place the stakes 5’ from the outside perimeter of the tent (see the anchoring and
staking section of this manual for stake positions)
*Drive the stakes into the ground vertically so no more than 6” is remaining above the
surface (see anchoring and staking page of this manual).
*Attach the ratchet with loop strap to the stake by turning the loop inside out and
pulling the ratchet thru the loop over the stake head to create a noose and pull tight.
The noose must not come off the head of the stake when pulling tight (see diagram
below). D ring option with stake may also may used (see photo below).
*For each of the ratchet assemblies, insert the 8’ loop strap attached to the frame into
the reel bar slot of the ratchet with loop assembly and tighten the ratchet slightly. Note
the ratchet handle should be facing upward.
*Roll the excess strap into the ratchet or conceal the excess strap in another manner.
Sidewall installation (optional accessory)
*Place a ground cloth on the inside of the tent and unroll the sidewalls on the ground
cloth
*Fasten the sidewall snap hooks to the perimeter rope line
Tent dismantling
*Remove the sidewalls (if applicable)
*If windy, confirm the wind direction and plan accordingly for dismantling
*Loosen ratchet assemblies and straps
*Remove the side legs (not the corner legs)
*Remove the R pins & corner legs from the down wind side of the tent and lower the frame gently to
the ground
*Repeat the corner leg removal for the opposite side of the frame
*Loosen all alligator clips from the frame
*Place the ground cloth on one side of the frame
*Remove the tent top from the frame. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CATCH THE TENT TOP ON THE FRAME
*Fold and roll the tent top as tightly as possible to fit into the storage bag. DO NOT WALK ON THE
TENT TOP.
*Place the tent top into the storage. DO NOT STORE THE TENT TOP IN THE BAG WHEN WET.
*Remove all R pins and slide the tubes off the fittings.

Maintenance and care
Dremcor provides high quality products that can last for many years of use. Failure to
maintain and care for the tent top can result in premature wear and degradation. The
following procedures are strongly recommended to maintain your product.
*Never place the tent top on rough surfaces such as gravel, asphalt, tree limbs, rocky soil,
and concrete. These surfaces can cause pinholes. Always use a ground cloth during
installation and disassembly.
*Clean your tent top regularly with a soft brush and neutral cleaners
*Never walk on the tent top as this can cause pinholes and damage.
*Never store tent tops when wet. This will promote mold and result in premature
degradation of the fabric.
*Do not use harsh cleaners with contain bleach or solvents.
*Do not use excessively abrasive and intense cleaning methods such as power washers
and wire brushes.
