SITE PREPARATION
Select a level or as close to level as practical location for
your ShelterKing 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 Corner and Interior Straight Upright Leg Poles
(items #1 & 2). These and all have pre-drilled holes at the
bottom for securing the feet plates. The number of Interior
Straight Uprights will vary by the size of the Party Tent.
The 4 corner leg poles (#2) have additional holes at the
top, 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 base holes align with the corresponding
ones in the feet. Use a 2-3/8” 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 Component
Diagram so that they are roughly in their correct places.
There are 4 different types of Connectors (#5, 6, 7, & 8).
Those with a sharp bend (#7 & 8) connect the Leg Poles to
the Rafter (#4) and Cross Poles (#3). Those with a
shallow bend (#5 & 6) connect the Rafter & Cross Poles at
the ridge of the tent. These connectors are 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 frame.

Begin by assembling the Roof Frame. Start by connecting
the Cross Poles (#3) together that will create the center
ridge of the tent. When this is completed join the Rafter
Poles (#4) to these cross poles. The last part of the roof
assembly is to add the Cross Poles (#3) that create the
eaves of the tent.

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.
CARE AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN
IN ADVERSE OR WINDY WEATHER CONDITIONS.

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. Only lift one side at a time: Lift the first side and
insert the Corner and Interior Uprights into the Frame
Connectors. Be certain to use the Corner Poles in the
corner positions to secure the Roof Cover.

Adding an Interior Upright and One Corner Pole
To Roof Frame- One Side
Both Corner Poles and Interior Pole Inserted
If the end wall panels (#10) are to be used, attach these
now 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 is 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.
Part of the roof cover extends down each of the 4 corners
and attach to the poles by way of the “S” shaped hooks
that locate in pre-drilled holes of the Corner Poles.
To attach the sidewall panels (#11), start at the top and at
one of the panel and use the bungee cords (#13) in the
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 Small Stakes (#17) provided, peg down the
bottom edges of all sidewalls and end panels. 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 stake 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 ShelterKing 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 Cords (#13) are provided
to be used as Door Hold Up straps.

Position
PROPER CARE IN USE
Think Safety First
Keep the exit(s) clear & free from obstruction to prevent
accidental damage to occupants and the party tent 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 windy
or 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 all open fires, barbecues, or heaters at least 20
feet away from all tent fabrics.
•Keep all open flames and heat sources well away from
all tent fabrics.
•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.
STORAGE, MAINTENANCE, & CARE
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.
Regularly the party tent should be completely inspected
internally and externally to make certain the unit remains
properly installed and secured.
Stakes/Guy Ropes should be checked regularly. Guy
ropes and stakes connection to frame members should
be maintained tight and depth of anchors should be
checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set.

unit.
