See (appendix A.)for layout options
(Stake Note: to expedite tent orders we
include available stakes— this could be
40˝single or double head option)
Inspect the tent to make sure that
there are no holes or tears
• Recommended tools: sledge hammer/
step ladders/ tarp(s)/ tape measure
Note: Tent and Table tents are designed
for 1/2˝ rope or 2˝ webs and ratchet
• 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 tarps (sold separately)
• Unload poles and tent canopy
• Lay canopy over tarp
• Remove slack
• Square the canopy, measure from
corner to corner— measurement should
be the same for second set of corners
• All guy ropes/webs—should be pulled
to the ground, away from canopy
• Lace sections together— start at center
and work outward
• A basic 40ft. tent will have two canopy
sections—with one ‘mid’ section for
every additional 20ft of tent
• Lace the loops and snap the closures,
See (figure A)
Special Note:
• For 30,´ 40´and 60´wide tents, a two
piece crown connector is provided,
to help secure the sections together
•
Take it up through the center grommet(s),
then cap it with the nut end
• The center pole would
then get installed
in the connector

Stretch ropes away from canopy
• Starting at Center ridge, push first
loop through corresponding grommet
• Continue lacing the loops, from the
middle out—pull tight at every loop,
as you go
• Snap the closures and close rain flap
as you progress outward
• When you get toward the outer end, lace
the last two or three loops backwards
and tie off the connecting loops
• Last, attach sections using ring and clip

• Lay all poles, near grommet opening,
touching the edge of canopy
• Poles should be perpendicular to
tent (except corner poles, see drawing)
• Set aside center pole(s)
• Lay stakes near each pole
• Mark stake line (see figure B)
• See (appendix A) for other sizes
and pole positions
• Double check that poles are touching
edge of canopy
• Using poles as a guide, measure 1 foot
in from end for side poles—
(approximately 6 feet from edge of
valance)— and 1 foot in / 2 feet over
for corner poles
• Hammer the stakes, leaving 6˝showing
above the ground
(sledge hammer required)

• Attach corner poles and guy ropes first
• Attach guy ropes—remember to leave
enough slack to raise poles,
See (figure B.)
STEP 6. HAMMERING STAKES

• Locate metal grommet holes,
on the underside of the canopy
• Insert pin end of pole
• Start with corner poles
• All four corner poles should be
installed FIRST
• Stand poles up—this is done in steps,
a 60º angle is require, for each corner
pole—then vertical, after all four
corners are ready
• Ropes should be attached
• A commonly used knot for securing
a rope to stake is the clove-hitch
1.) Make two loops
2.) Cross loops by placing second loop
over the first
3.) Place the combined loops over stake
Option: loops can be form directly
on stake
4.) Pull on both ends to tighten rope
Note: outward force tightens and
inward force loosens the knot—when
making adjustments
5.) Excess line should be pulled half-
way up the rope and tied off
• Grab center pole(s) walk under canopy
(two people required)
• Insert center pole pin through metal
plate and grommet, at center of canopy
• To raise pole, have one person hold the
pole near the upper half and person
two, at the bottom end—raise upward
and vertical
• For multiple poles; Insert first pole
(as above), keep angle at 45 degrees to
allow more stability, as you work on the
other pole(s)
• Install next center pole in vertical
position—then, go back to first pole,
lift and adjust to vertical

• Continue around the tent raising all
side poles—now, at a vertical angle
• Adjust corner poles (exactly vertical)
and tighten ropes before finishing the
side poles
• 3 people needed for this next step:
have one person stand at the outside,
center of tent—
Visually check center pole alignment,
as it relates to horizontal center
• Two others should be adjusting and
Straightening center poles
• Next, readjust side poles— tighten ropes
• Tighten guy ropes accordingly, to correct
any lean at top of tent
(careful not to over correct)
• Secure center poles with tie ropes—
to prevent strong winds from detaching
pole pins from canopy
• A.) Pull tie rope down about 6 ft.
begin first loop
• B.) Then, pull it back taut, to create
a locked tension
• C.) Wrap the rope around the pole
4x, to create a tight coil
• D.) Lastly, pull the end of the rope
through the top loop
• Secure other poles to canopy, using
tie ropes
