How to install / best practices

1. Choose a level site

Select a flat, stable surface free of debris. Position the frame footprint so that the tent canopy (once installed) will cover the desired event area and provide proper drainage.

2. Layout frame components

Unpack all tubing, fittings, and cables. Organize components by type and length to streamline assembly. Ensure all hardware (pins and fasteners) is present before beginning.

3. Assemble base rails

Connect the frame base rails according to the instructions, aligning openings for pins and tension cables. Secure each connection point with the appropriate pins and fittings to ensure a rigid foundation.

4. Add vertical supports and cross braces

Raise the vertical support poles and attach them to the base rails. Insert cross braces or diagonal supports where included to stabilize the frame and prepare it for canopy installation.

5. Inspect before adding the canopy

Once the frame is assembled, check all fittings and pins for secure engagement. Test for stability and make adjustments before installing the canopy top (sold separately). Follow tethering and anchoring best practices to secure the assembled frame before tent setup and tensioning.
