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.
