8' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 10' Pole and Fitting Kit

8' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 10' Pole and Fitting Kit

The 8' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 10' Pole and Fitting Kit is a highly specialized structural solution designed for applications requiring significant vertical clearance within a narrow, rectangular footprint. Providing 192 square feet of covered area, this kit is the professional choice for a rental company tasked with creating high-clearance walkways, elevated entrance canopies, or weather protection for tall industrial equipment. By utilizing high-strength single-tube aluminum construction, the frame remains lightweight and easy to manage, while the 10-foot leg height creates a dramatic, airy profile that ensures maximum visibility and functionality.

This kit serves as a comprehensive hardware foundation for a West Coast Style frame system. Because it adheres to industry-standard dimensions, all poles and fittings are fully interchangeable with existing West Coast inventories, allowing for simplified maintenance and modular flexibility. The 10-foot leg height is particularly advantageous for tent installation projects where standard height legs would interfere with tall decor, hanging lighting rigs, or large-scale machinery. Whether you are providing a grand walkway for a gala or an industrial cover for a localized maintenance project, this single-tube kit offers professional-grade durability with an impressive vertical reach.

Why the 10-Foot Single Tube System Matters

In narrow configurations, vertical height is essential to prevent a cramped or "tunneled" feel. The 8' x 24' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 10' Pole and Fitting Kit uses 10-foot legs to provide massive overhead clearance, making it feel much more spacious than its compact width suggests. For a professional event setup, this added height allows for the easy installation of overhead fans, heaters, or expansive signage. The modular nature of the single-tube aluminum allows for a fast teardown and organized storage, making it a versatile asset for specialized logistics and production teams.

Key Features

• High-Strength Single Tube Aluminum: 2-inch diameter anodized aluminum tubing provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio for manageable assembly.
• 10-Foot Eave Height: Specialized leg length provides superior vertical clearance and improved airflow for guests and staff.
• West Coast Style Compatibility: Fully interchangeable with standard West Coast Style poles, fittings, and vinyl tops.
• Heavy-Duty Welded Steel Fittings: Includes all necessary crowns, side tees, and corners manufactured from zinc-plated steel for maximum durability.
• Space-Saving 8-Foot Width: Engineered for narrow footprints, walkways, and restricted-access areas between buildings.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Anodized aluminum and plated steel components are built to resist oxidation through years of outdoor exposure.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Assembling a 10-foot-high narrow frame requires extra caution and a coordinated team to ensure a safe tent installation due to the increased center of gravity.

Step 1: Inventory and Site Layout

Clear the installation path and lay out all rafters, spreaders, and 10-foot legs on a protective drop cloth. Because of the height, verify the ground is level along the entire 24-foot run to ensure structural stability during 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. Ensure every fitting is secured with R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners. Double-check all joints, as the 10-foot legs will put more leverage on the roof connections.

Step 3: Vinyl Top Placement

While the frame is still at ground level, pull your vinyl top over the structure. Centering and securing the top to the perimeter spreaders at this stage is mandatory, as the 10-foot height makes it difficult to adjust the fabric once the legs are raised.

Step 4: Raising the Frame

With a crew of at least four people, lift one 24-foot side of the frame high enough to insert the 10-foot leg poles into the fittings. While part of the crew steadies the first side, the others should lift the opposite side to insert the remaining legs. Use caution to prevent the legs from kicking out during the lift.

Step 5: Critical Anchoring

Narrow, tall structures are highly susceptible to wind. 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, plumb, and professional in appearance.
