(to ground stake)

• When building or assembling anything
above shoulder height, wear a hard hat
• Steel toe boots are recommended
• Inspect the site, look for overhead and
underground obstructions— such as
utilities
• Call your local utility to have utility
lines marked (call 3–5 days ahead)—
call811.com is a good resource—
‘click’ 811 in Your State
• Inspect all ropes and tie lines
• Inspect poles, making sure there are
no bends or breaks
• Replace or repair any items in poor
condition
• Spread tarp (sold separately) in the
tent location, to protect canopy—
tarp/tarps should be as large as canopy
• Place eave bars, corner fittings, side
fittings and connectors on tarp
• Connect all fittings
• See (appendix A) for your tent plan,
eave bars layout and more information
• The last cable is attached differently
see (figure A)
• Because of the tension build-up,
the last cable is connected easier in
this manner
• Lift the last corner, 3 feet or higher
to connect the last cable end to the
corner hook—
Lifting corner actually reduces the
distance between the two corners
STEP 3. CONNECT EAVE BARS (40 Hex)
(FIGURE A.)
Position tarp in the exact tent location desired
(use small objects as weights on a windy day)

Cross cables
Connector
Corner fitting

• Unfold canopy top, place over cross
cables and tarp
• DO NOT walk on canopy
• Center the top and stretch to edges
(flap as you go, to create ‘lift’)
Note: Locate the O-ring pull strap
attached to one of the corner loops,
that should be the last loop to be
put in place—the strap can be used
to pull the loop in place
• Connect three corners first, to the
corner fittings
• See (figure B.)
• The last corner requires the use of
an anchoring stake
• Pull the first three corner loops over
the corresponding outcrop-ring
• For the last loop, place an anchoring
stake through loop and against outcrop
• Pull corner loop and pry at the same
time— (pull stake back, away from tent)
— the overall canopy position should be
straighten, this will help with final loop
• Finally, push loop in place and slide
out anchoring stake
• Use O-ring pull strap to pull the
loop into place

• With the canopy on and the frame
in place, measure for ground stake
location
• Lay leg poles around frame to help
guide your measurement
• Measure 5 feet straight out from frame,
at each leg connector
• Slide stakes through D-ring of 1˝ ratchet
strap, before you continue
• Remember, one ground stake per leg
pole at the stake line, see (figure C,
next page) for proper staking
STEP 5. POSITIONING STAKES

Canopy top
Tarp

• At this time, finish sliding the stakes
through all of the D-rings, that are
connected to the 1˝ straps
• Hammer all stakes in position (half-way)
• Attach the hook end of the 1˝ ratchet
strap assembly to all outcrop rings
• Connect straps together, using ratchet
See (page 7) for Ratchet Strap use
• This makes complete 1˝ ratchet strap
assemblies, both ends connected—
leave a good amount slack, for now
• Ground stakes should be hammered
in vertical, not angled
(sledge hammer required)
• Determine the longest side of your
tent—this is were the first two leg poles
will be installed—
Check connection of 1˝ ratchet strap,
from frame to ground stake, before
these two legs are installed
• Complete the hammering process,
before you install each leg—
leave 6 inches showing, above
the ground
• Lift ‘first’ side of frame
• Insert legs on one side (remember pick
the longest side, for rectangular tents)
• Slide base plate onto these legs—anchor
hole should be facing interior of tent
• 1˝ Ratchet straps should have some
slack in them, at this point still
• Continue with ‘second’ corner & side legs
• The center pole goes in, before the
leg poles on the other side
Note: For the HEXAGON tent, install
three consecutive legs as side one—
the rest of the assembly is the same
Note: Large tents require frame tent jacks—general
rules are, one jack every 20´ and never place jack in
the middle of bar (usage can be found on Internet)
STEP 7. INSERTING LEG POLES
Insert all legs on one side—
appendix Awill help determine
the longest side of your tent
Other side sits
on ground

(Connect a 1.5˝ratchet strap,

you insert a leg pole, see step 8)

Attach 1.5˝strap, hook end

Important: make sure canopy
ropes aren’t tangled!
Attach a
1.5˝strap with ring end
(each base plate)
• Under canopy you will see several
short ‘side release buckle straps’—
connect these to frame (eave bars)
• Raise other side of tent (2 people
required)—start at a corner
• Insert leg poles—the leg poles should
be vertical at this step
• Slide base plate onto these legs—
secure canopy to remaining base plates,
with corresponding 1.5˝strap, at
each leg
• TIGHTEN ALL 1˝and 1.5˝RATCHET STRAPS
• Fully tighten short straps, under canopy
• Lastly, secure base plates to ground by
hammering in the ‘base stakes’
STEP 10. INSTALL REMAINING LEGS
Insert leg poles (and base plates) on other side
Center Mast
Pole and
Bottom
(unlock hitch
pin)
Height of center
pole can be adjusted
to obtain proper
tension with canopy
Center Mast Pole
• For every leg pole, there is a base
plate and a 1.5˝ ratchet strap assembly
—connect the straps as each leg is
Installed
• Connect hook end to quick link and
ring end to base plate hook
(check that canopy ropes are not tangled)
• Tighten strap, before moving to the next
leg (not at 100%—secure fully at the end
of assembly)
See (page 7) for Ratchet Strap use
• One side of canopy still remains on tarp
• Lift center mast (two people will get
this step done quicker)—walk under
canopy, keeping the pole angled
• Insert mast pin into grommet at center
of canopy (make sure entire pin is
through and visible from outside)
• With the pole at an angle (not vertical),
lay notched bottom near the outer
end of the top cable—then slide the
bottom of pole towards the center
• Make sure mast pin stays in place
• At center, where cables cross, position
notched bottom over all the cables
• Lock hitch pin around cables to the
other side of center pole bottom
