Assembly of the TWIN TUBE:
• If erecting a 40' wide, splice the 2x6 Blue to
the 2x6 Yellow before starting assembly.
See  g.1.
• Pre-assemble the legs and base plates.
See  g.2 &  g.2a.
1. Lay out parts according to schematic.
2. Build rafter section.
See  g.3
• Connect rafter tubing sections to the universal
crown(s).
• Connect longer arms of the crown to the rafter
corners -hips.
• When building rectangular tents, connect the
ridge pole to crown.
Note: It’s easier if a canopy jack holds up the
crown and rafters.
• Make sure that each pin is properly  tted.
• Attach brackets to rafters.
• Slide all corner and intermediate brackets onto
the rafter sections and pin in place.
3. Build perimeter

• Starting at corner bracket, build the perimeter of
the tent.
For easy assembly we recommend:

• Cleaning supplies
• Read instructions thoroughly.
• Make sure you have everything listed
on the parts and shipping lists as
soon as you receive the shipment.

horizontal cable. Adjust turnbuckle to assure that
the cable is tight.
5. Position the top over the frame
• Pull the top [ top sections ] onto the frame.
• Lace tent sections together [ Sectional Tent see

• Align the tent top on the frame. Check the
corners, hip areas and crowns to make sure the top
