7' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

7' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit

The 7' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit is a specialized structural solution designed for long, narrow configurations. Providing 168 square feet of covered area, this kit is the professional choice for a rental company looking to create sheltered walkways, grand entrance corridors, or narrow food service stations. By utilizing high-strength single-tube aluminum construction, the frame remains lightweight and manageable for rapid deployment, while the 8-foot leg height provides extra vertical clearance for a more open and inviting interior feel.

This kit serves as a comprehensive hardware foundation for a West Coast Style frame system. Because it adheres to industry-standard dimensions, the components are fully interchangeable with existing West Coast inventories, allowing for simplified maintenance and fleet flexibility. The 7-foot width makes it ideal for placement in tight spaces, such as between buildings or along narrow sidewalks, where a standard square tent would not fit. Whether you are providing a weather-protected path for a wedding or an industrial tent installation for a loading dock, this single-tube kit offers professional-grade durability.

Why the 8-Foot Single Tube System Matters

In narrow structures, vertical height is essential to prevent a cramped environment. The 7' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 8' Pole and Fitting Kit uses 8-foot legs to create a spacious overhead area that accommodates taller guests and decor. For a professional event setup, this creates a clean, elevated canopy that protects against rain or sun without obstructing the flow of traffic. The modular nature of the single-tube aluminum allows for a fast teardown and easy transport, making it a highly efficient asset for busy event schedules.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Assembling a narrow frame requires attention to alignment to ensure the 24-foot run remains straight and stable during the tent installation.

Step 1: Inventory and Site Layout

Clear the installation path and lay out all rafters, spreaders, and 8-foot legs on a protective drop cloth. Organize the poles by length to ensure a smooth event setup and to prevent confusion during assembly.

Step 2: Roof Frame Assembly

Assemble the roof framework at ground level by connecting the crowns to the rafters and spreaders. For a 24-foot length, verify that every fitting is secured with R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners to maintain structural integrity.

Step 3: Vinyl Top Placement

While the frame is still low to the ground, pull your vinyl top over the structure. Secure the top to the perimeter spreaders before lifting; this is the safest method to manage the fabric and prevents the wind from catching it during the lift.

Step 4: Raising the Frame

With a small crew, lift one 24-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 seated properly in the base plates.

Step 5: Anchoring

Even small frames require secure anchoring to prevent movement. Use stake driving equipment to secure the base of each leg and attach ratchet straps. Tension the straps evenly to ensure the structure is stable and the fabric top is tight.
