Pinnacle Pin & Bail

Pinnacle Pin & Bail for Pinnacle Series Cross Cable Frame Tents

The Pinnacle Pin & Bail is a purpose-built fastener used on the Pinnacle Series Cross Cable Frame Tent to secure the center mast connection at the cross cable intersection. It works in conjunction with the plastic base that rests on the cross cables, creating a locked, stable attachment point that helps keep the center mast properly seated during setup and throughout the event.

If you run Pinnacle Series cross cable frames, this small hardware item plays a big role in keeping your build consistent. Lost or worn pin-and-bail hardware can lead to extra setup time, less stable mast engagement, or unnecessary troubleshooting on site. Stocking a few replacements is a smart move for rental fleets and installation teams that want to stay ready for peak season.

What This Pin & Bail Does

On a Pinnacle Series Cross Cable Frame Tent, the center mast must be secured to the cross cable system in a way that won't loosen from tensioning, handling, or normal event-site vibration. The Pin & Bail creates a locking assembly at the center mast connection point, helping prevent the fastener from slipping out and helping the mast remain stable and aligned.

How the Locking Assembly Works

The design is simple and crew-friendly, which matters when you're building quickly or training new installers.

• Position the connection at the center mast using the plastic base that rests on the cross cables.
• Loop the bail over the steel cross cables.
• Snap the bail over the pin to form a secured, locked connection.

Once engaged, the bail captures the cable and locks over the pin, which helps keep the fastener from backing out during use. This contributes to a steadier center mast connection and more consistent tension management across the canopy.

Why It Matters for Rental Fleets

• More reliable setups: Helps keep the center mast connection consistent from job to job.
• Less lost hardware: Locking action helps prevent the fastener from falling out during handling.
• Faster install flow: Simple loop-and-snap design reduces fiddling at the center mast.
• Protects your system: Using the correct Pinnacle-specific hardware helps ensure proper engagement with the cross cables.
• Easy to stock: Lightweight part that's practical to keep on hand as a replacement.

Best Practice Tips

• Inspect the pin and bail during prep for bending, excessive wear, or deformation that could reduce secure engagement.
• Confirm the bail seats fully over the pin before tensioning or final mast checks.
• Keep a small labeled spare-hardware kit with your Pinnacle frames to avoid delays on site.
