Step 1
Separate all pieces according to size and shape and arrange per the illustration shown below.

• The remaining 78in pipes are used to form the roof perimeter and for the legs
Step 2

COVER ASSEMBLY
Step 1
Unfold the cover with the grommets toward the cover’s bottom and place over the frame. The ared edges
should be located at each of the 4 corners of the frame.
Step 2
Begin attaching the cover with the elastic ball straps by inserting the elastic cord of the ball strap underneath
the cover and through the grommet. Then pull cord taut until ball stops. Wrap the cord around the pole and
under the ball. This will hide the ball under the cover and provide a more nished look to your unit.
• Start by attaching 2 elastic ball straps at each of the four corners
• Continue attaching straps from left to right in a zigzag pattern down both sides of the canopy
• Attach straps at the front and back of the unit, again using a zigzag pattern until all straps are secured
Note:
The ball straps are long enough to accommodate various cover lengths. If your straps need a tighter t, they
can be shortened by making an additional knot in the cord strap. Slide the ball upward to reveal the tied knot.
Tie a new knot above the old one. The size of the knot will determine how short the strap becomes.
Slip the ball down over the new knot and secure.

LEGS ASSEMBLY
NOW, CONNECT THE LEG POLES TO THE ROOF ASSEMBLY WITH THE COVER ALREADY POSITIONED ON
TOP OF THE UNIT.
Step A: First insert the pipes for the middle poles into the 3- and 4-way connectors, and then connect the end
leg pipes in the same way. (See illustration)
Step B: Push the eight foot pads onto the bottom of each leg.
NOTE: the foot pads are NOT for anchoring the canopy!
Step C: Connect the hook & loop fastening strips down the length of each leg.
Step D:
Slip one clip onto each of the corner legs.
To secure the clips on the corner legs use the drawstring sewn into each end of the cover. Adjust the drawstring
evenly on each side of the canopy by pulling the drawstrings on each end of the cover at the same time. Insert
the ball on the drawstring into the slot on the curtain clip. Pull the clip down until tight. Pressure from the
drawstring will cause the clip to wedge onto the pipe.
Curtain clips may have to be re-tightened occaisonally due to strong wind gusts.
IMPORTANT! Once the legs and cover are assembled, your canopy will act like a kite in the wind. It is
imperative that the canopy anchors be installed NOW!

ANCHORING YOUR UNIT
This canopy is designed for use as a temporary structure. After assembly, the canopy MUST BE securely
anchored to the ground to prevent damage from winds. Your canopy will act like a kite in the wind if not
properly and securely anchored to the ground. Severe winds will cause the frame to twist and unanchored
legs will fall, thereby collapsing the canopy. If severe winds are expected, you must remove the cover from
the frame to prevent damage.
Step 1
Measure out at least 36in from each leg. Screw each anchor into the ground leaving 2in between the ground
and the eye of each anchor. We strongly recommend that your unit be anchored 36in from each leg
although this may not be possible in all cases. DO install anchors as close to 36in away from legs as possible.
Step 2
Tie anchor cable or rope around the connector at the top of each leg of the canopy.
Step 3
Securely tie the other end of the cable or rope through the eye of the anchor and pull tight.
Step 4
Now, continue to screw each anchor into the ground until the eye of the anchor is ush with the ground. This
will secure the anchor rope even tighter.
NOTE: You should check and tighten the rope frequently to ensure maximum stability of your canopy and to
protect against wind damage.
