SITE PREPARATION

Select a level or as close to level as practical location for

your MDM Products Party Tent. The unit should be placed

on a base for the intended use, usually grass or soft

surface. The unit should not be located under trees, which

will shed hard fruit such as apples, walnuts, or heavy pine

cones. The cover of your unit will protect against light

leaves or debris, however large branches or other falling

items may cause puncture or tears in the cover material.

Take notice of drainage both around your intended

location. Water draining from the surrounding terrain

should be planned so that it does not run into the unit.

Check to be certain that adequate clearance is allowed for

entry and exit from ends of unit. Party tent should not be

installed close to buildings or other obstructions that would

prevent exit in the event of an emergency.

FRAME ASSEMBLY

Read the complete instructions guide before starting to

assemble party tent. Familiarize yourself with each of the

component parts. These are itemized for easy

identification. Some parts are similar and vary only in

shape or size so be sure you use the correct ones where

stated.

Identify the leg poles (items #1 & 2), these are the shortest

of the 4 types of pole and all have pre-drilled holes at the

bottom for securing the feet plates. There are 4 corner leg

poles (#2) that have additional holes, which will be used

for attaching the roof cover to the legs with the use of the

attached “S” hooks.

Insert the leg poles (#2) into the white plastic feet plates

(#12) so that the holes align with the corresponding ones

in the feet. Use a hex bolt (#14) with a washer (#15) and

pass it through the aligned holes. Use one more washers

on the threaded side of the bolt as needed. Use a lock nut

and tighten. Do not over tighten and damage either

upright leg or plastic foot. Repeat for all legs and place

aside until needed.

Lay out all the parts as shown in the Frame Diagram so

that they are roughly in their correct places. There are 4

different types of connector (#5, 6, 7, & 8): those with a

sharp bend (#7 & 8) which connect the leg poles to the

rafter (#4) and cross poles (#3); those with a shallow bend

(#5 & 6) that connect the rafter & cross poles at the ridge

of the tent. These connectors are then in either 3 or 4 way

types; the 3 way connectors of both types (#5 & 7) are to

be used at each end of the party tent.

Connector Types

Frame Component Diagram

Begin by assembling the Roof Frame. Start by connecting

the cross poles together that will create the center ridge of

the tent. When this is completed join the rafter poles to

these cross poles. The last part of the roof assembly is to

add the cross poles that create the eaves of the tent.

Ridge Pole and Eave Poles Assembled

INSTALLING THE ROOF COVER

Before installing the upright leg poles to the frame

structure the roof cover (#9) must be put over the

assembled roof frame and attached using the bungee

cords (#13). This is best done from underneath by

passing the elastic cord of the bungee through the eyelets

in the cover, stretch it around the pole and back over the

toggle to secure. In calm conditions only the corners will

need to be attached with the remainder done once the

frame is fully erected. The more windy the weather then

additional bungee cords will be needed at this stage to

ensure that the cover is securely attached.

GREAT CARE AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS MUST BE

TAKEN IN ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

INSTALLING THE UPTIGHT LEGS

AT THIS STAGE, ESPECIALLY IN WINDY WEATHER

CONDITIONS, THAT THE MOST CARE AND

PRECAUTION MUST BE TAKEN.

The frame and the roof cover are heavy to lift so adequate

assistance will be required to guard against personal injury

and should only be done one side at a time: Lift the first

side and insert the legs into the connectors remembering

that the poles with the numerous holes in them are for

each corner.

If the end wall panels (#10) are to be used then attach

these to the rafter poles now before the tent is at its full

height.

Repeat the procedure with the remaining side panel. At

this point the tent are most vulnerable to injury & damage if

it is windy. If it is windy at all, use the guy ropes to

stabilize the tent before the side panels are attached.

There are holes in the feet plates through which they may

be pegged to the ground, or on hard standing using

appropriate fixings (not supplied).

Part of the roof cover extends down each of the 4 corners

and these attach to the poles by way of the “S” shaped

hooks that locate in pre-drilled holes.

To attach the side wall panels (#11), start at the top and at

one of the panel and use the bungee cords (#13) in the

Assembly Instructions 14 X 14 Party Tent Style

V2.0 Party Tent 14 X 14 Size

same way as you did to secure the roof. Along the eaves it

is best to share the same eyelets: i.e. from the inside first

pass the bungee elastic through the eyelet in the roof, then

back inside through the eyelet in the wall panel, wrap

around the pole and back over the toggle. Repeat with all

attachment points along the eaves so that roof and the

wall panels (where required) are secured to the frame, and

where the vertical ends of the walls finish or join each

other.

Using the pegs (#17) provided, peg down the bottom edge

of the side and end walls; drive all pegs in at an angle

(ideally of 45°or less to the horizontal) and in line with the

seams. The guy ropes (#16) provided should be attached

or tied to the frame only, ensuring that they are all pegged

directly in line with the seam or pole to which the will apply

tension and support. Once this is achieved tighten the

adjusters so that equal tension is applied to each guy

point.

If these are not already attached, we suggest that securing

straps be used to guard against sudden changes in

weather and gusts of wind.

DISMANTLING THE PARTY TENT

Simply reverse the instructions above, again taking

particular care in windy conditions to prevent the tent from

becoming damaged and avoiding personal injury.

Please note that the stakes should be removed by either

using a tent peg extractor or more simply by using another

peg. Do not pull them out by using the guy rope or the

tents’ fabric.

Door Hold Ups

All MDM Products doors are manufactured with a pocket

on the bottom edge along the width axis. A ½” plastic or

metal EMT tubing can be inserted into the pocket and

trimmed to fit. Four(4) bungee straps are provided to be

used as Door Hold Up straps.

Bungee Hold Ups support Door Fabric in Up Position

IN USE

Keep the exit(s) clear & free from obstruction to prevent

accidental damage to occupants and the party tent,

especially in an emergency.

To help keep the doors closed it may be necessary to

cross over the stake points at the base of zippers. Avoid

walking on the zippers and keep them free from dirt, as

this will maintain their smooth operation. Should the

zippers become difficult to operate, do not force them.

Adjust the stakes/guying of the tent to ease the pressure

on the zippers and lubricate with a silicon or similar

lubricant to maintain their smooth operation.

Periodically check each stake point or securing straps

and re adjust as necessary, especially during/after

stormy weather.

FIRE WARNING:

A Fire Retardant treatment has been applied to the

fabric of this tent that will significantly reduce the rate of

flame spread, but the tent is still flammable.

•Keep your party tent at least 20 feet from adjacent

tents.

•Keep all open flames and heat sources well away from

all tent fabrics.

•Do NOT Allow smoking of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or

any open flame inside Party Tent

•Do not refill stoves or change fuel cartridges inside or

near to the tent.

•Never leave heating, lighting or cooking appliances

unattended in the vicinity of the tent.

Think Safety First

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

NEVER store the tent unless it is completely dry.

Storing when damp allows the formation of mold and

mildew, which will rot natural fibers & damages the

waterproof coating to the fabric and leaves indelible

stains. Poles and fitments, including tent pegs, should be

cleaned, dried and stored separately from the main tent

parts. These poles may be given a light coating of

petroleum jelly to help prevent corrosion.

Light soiling may be removed either by the gentle use of

a soft brush or using a soft, dampened cloth and mild

detergents. Remove dirt from the fabric by gently

brushing when dry. Never use strong detergents, bleach

or similar cleaning products or wash in a washing

machine, as this will damage the fabric of the tent. Store

in a dry, well-aired place, any damage as a result of

incorrect storage will not be covered by the warranty.

Maintenance and Care

Every couple f days when in use 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 bungee cords and hardware

connectors to be certain they are in place and tightened.

Anchors – during light weather trends, the unit will strain

against the anchors under windy conditions. Anchor

hardware connection to frame members should be

maintained tight and depth of anchors should be

checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set.

Snow Accumulation –under no circumstances should

this unit be set up during periods of snow.

Assembly Instructions 14 X 14 Party Tent Style

V2.0 Party Tent 14 X 14 Size

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.

Inclement Weather – MDM Products Party Tents are

NOT intended to be used in inclement weather or year

round. When windy conditions are experienced,

dismantle and store tent to avoid damage. Under no

circumstances can unit be left up through snow or cold

weather.
