8' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 7' Pole and Fitting Kit

8' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 7' Pole and Fitting Kit

The 8' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 7' Pole and Fitting Kit is a professional-grade structural solution designed for extra-long, narrow configurations. Providing 320 square feet of covered area, this kit is the industry choice for a rental company looking to create extended sheltered walkways, grand entrance corridors, or linear food service stations. By utilizing high-strength single-tube aluminum construction, the frame remains lightweight and manageable for rapid deployment, while the traditional 7-foot leg height ensures a comfortable eave height for staff and guests while maintaining a sleek, efficient profile.

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 8-foot width is specifically designed for placement in tight spaces, such as between buildings or along narrow sidewalks, where a standard square tent would be too wide. 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 across a significant 40-foot span.

Why the 40-Foot Single Tube System Matters

Covering a 40-foot distance with a narrow structure requires a frame that maintains perfect alignment without sagging. The 8' x 40' Classic Frame Aluminum Single Tube 7' Pole and Fitting Kit is engineered to stay square and secure over long runs. For a professional event setup, this creates a clean, continuous canopy that protects against rain or sun without the bulk of larger structures. The modular nature of the single-tube aluminum allows for efficient teardown and organized storage, making it a high-utility asset for any rental fleet or corporate event inventory managing large-scale logistics.

Key Features

• High-Strength Single Tube Aluminum: 2-inch diameter anodized aluminum tubing allows for easy handling and reduced labor costs during assembly.
• 7-Foot Eave Height: Standard leg height provides a professional profile and comfortable interior clearance.
• 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.
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Anodized aluminum and plated steel are designed to withstand repeated outdoor use and moisture.
• Extended 40-Foot Length: Specifically designed for long-distance walkways and high-capacity linear queues.

How to Use / Installation Best Practices

Assembling a 40-foot-long narrow frame requires careful alignment to ensure the structure remains perfectly straight throughout the tent installation.

Step 1: Inventory and Site Layout

Clear the installation path and lay out all rafters, spreaders, and 7-foot legs on a protective drop cloth. Organize the poles by length to ensure a smooth event setup and to prevent confusion during the assembly of the multi-bay roof.

Step 2: Roof Frame Assembly

Assemble the roof framework at ground level by connecting the crowns to the rafters and spreaders. For a 40-foot length, verify that every fitting is secured with R-pins or pin-and-bail fasteners to maintain structural integrity and prevent "snaking" of the long frame.

Step 3: Vinyl Top Placement

While the frame is still low to the ground, pull your 8' x 40' vinyl top over the structure. Centering and securing the top to the perimeter spreaders at this stage is the safest method to manage the fabric before the frame is lifted.

Step 4: Raising the Frame

With a coordinated crew, lift one 40-foot side of the frame and insert the 7-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 over the long span.

Step 5: Anchoring

Long, narrow structures are susceptible to wind. Use stake driving equipment to secure the base of each leg and attach heavy-duty ratchet straps. Tension the straps evenly to ensure the structure remains stable and the 40-foot fabric top remains drum-tight.
