40' x 60' Classic Frame Aluminum Double Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

40' x 60' Classic Frame Aluminum Double Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

The 40' x 60' Classic Frame Aluminum Double Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit is a heavy-duty structural system engineered for professional tent rental companies and high-capacity event venues. This kit provides the complete framework required to support a 2,400-square-foot West Coast Style frame tent. By utilizing an 8-foot leg height, this system offers increased vertical clearance for stages, lighting rigs, and decor, creating a more spacious and open environment for guests. The double tube aluminum construction ensures maximum rigidity, providing the structural integrity needed for large-span tent installation projects that must withstand environmental pressures.

Engineering a structure with a 40-foot width requires a frame that can manage significant tension and wind loads without compromising safety. This kit replaces standard single-tube pipes with reinforced double-channel aluminum, which significantly increases the strength-to-weight ratio. Because this is a West Coast Style kit, it is fully compatible with existing industry-standard fittings and tops, making it a versatile addition to any rental company inventory. Whether you are performing a new installation or upgrading an existing frame, this 8-foot kit provides the height and durability required for premium event setups.

Why the 8-Foot Double Tube System Matters

Efficiency and safety are the top priorities for any professional event setup. The 8-foot eave height is the modern standard for high-end events, allowing for better airflow and more impressive sightlines. However, the extra height increases the wind profile of the structure. The double tube design compensates for this by providing a stiffer frame that resists bowing and twisting. Using this kit improves your workflow by providing a reliable, engineered skeleton that fits standard 40x60 vinyl tops, ensuring your crew can work quickly and confidently on-site during teardown and assembly.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Fittings: Includes welded, zinc-plated steel joints designed to resist rust and provide secure connection points.
• High-Capacity Frame: Capable of supporting large-scale events with a footprint of 2,400 square feet.
• Modular Engineering: Components are sized for efficient transport and organized storage between events.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Assembling a 40-foot wide frame tent requires careful coordination and adherence to safety protocols. Use the following steps to ensure a successful installation.

Step 1: Site Layout

Clear the installation area and lay out all poles and fittings according to the frame diagram. Group the double tube rafters, spreaders, and 8-foot leg poles to ensure the crew can identify parts quickly during the build. This organization is key for a fast event setup.

Step 2: Roof Assembly

Connect the ridge crowns to the rafters and spreaders. For a 40' x 60' frame, ensure all interior support cables and rafters are properly seated in the fittings. Use R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners at every joint to prevent the frame from shifting during the lift.

Step 3: Fabric Installation

Before the frame is raised to its full 8-foot height, pull the vinyl tent top over the roof structure. Center the top and secure it to the perimeter spreaders. It is critical to do this while the frame is low to the ground to minimize wind catching the fabric.

Step 4: Raising the Structure

With a crew of at least 6 people, lift one 60-foot side of the frame and insert the 8-foot leg poles into the fittings. Once the first side is stable, repeat the process for the opposite side. Ensure all legs are plumb and the base plates are flat on the ground.

Step 5: Anchoring and Tensioning

Immediately secure the tent using professional-grade stakes and ratchet straps. Because of the 8-foot height, proper stake driving and tensioning are essential to prevent the tent from shifting. Check the tension of the top fabric to ensure a professional finish.
