20' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 14' Pole and Fitting Kit

The 20' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 14' Pole and Fitting Kit is an ultra-specialized structural foundation engineered for professional applications requiring a large rectangular footprint with extreme vertical elevation. Providing 800 square feet of covered area, this kit is an essential asset for rental companies and industrial contractors managing high-visibility VIP activations, grand architectural entryways, or heavy machinery coverage. By utilizing high-strength single-tube aluminum construction, the frame remains manageable for transport while providing the rigidity of a commercial-grade system. The 14-foot leg height offers a majestic interior profile, providing maximum clearance for tall obstructions and unmatched airflow across the 40-foot span.

This kit serves as a comprehensive hardware foundation for a West Coast Style frame system. Because it adheres to industry-standard dimensions, all components are fully interchangeable with existing West Coast inventories, allowing for simplified maintenance and modular fleet flexibility. The 20' x 40' footprint is a versatile industry favorite, and when combined with 14-foot legs, it creates a commanding, tower-like presence for any event setup. Whether you are providing weather protection for a luxury brand activation or performing an industrial tent installation over existing structures or high-profile equipment, this single-tube kit offers the durability and height required for elite professional use.

Why the 14-Foot Single Tube System Matters

In the professional event and industrial sectors, a 14-foot leg height is the premier choice for clearing extreme site obstacles, such as large statues, specialized machinery, or tiered staging. The 20' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 14' Pole and Fitting Kit is engineered to stay square and secure, providing a stable environment that far exceeds the capabilities of standard shelters. The extreme head clearance is critical for accommodating massive hanging decor, complex audiovisual rigs, or tall industrial exhaust systems without a "cramped" feeling. For a professional event setup, this translates to a clean, taut canopy line and a premium, high-impact experience. The modular nature of the frame also allows for efficient teardown and organized storage.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Assembling a 40-foot frame with 14-foot legs requires expert alignment and a coordinated crew of 4 to 6 people to ensure a safe tent installation.

Step 1: Inventory and Site Layout Clear the installation area and lay out the rafters, spreaders, and 14-foot legs on a protective drop cloth. Organize the components meticulously to ensure all R-pins and fittings are present before beginning the event setup.

Step 2: Roof Frame Assembly Assemble the roof framework at ground level by connecting the crowns to the rafters and the perimeter spreaders. Verify that every joint is secured with R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners to maintain structural integrity and prevent the frame from shifting during the lift.

Step 3: Vinyl Top Placement While the frame is still low to the ground, pull your 20' x 40' vinyl top over the structure. Centering the top and securing it to the perimeter spreaders at this stage is the only safe method to manage the fabric before the frame is raised to its full 14-foot height.

Step 4: Raising the Frame With a coordinated crew distributed along the length, lift one 40-foot side of the frame and insert the 14-foot leg poles into the fittings. Repeat the process for the opposite side. It is critical to lift in unison to avoid putting undue stress on the aluminum joints, especially given the significant leverage and weight of 14-foot legs.

Step 5: Critical Anchoring Structures with 14-foot legs have an extremely high wind profile and are highly susceptible to lateral forces. Immediate stake driving and anchoring with heavy-duty ratchet straps at every leg is required. Tension the straps evenly to ensure the structure remains stable, square, and professional in appearance.
