3. Assembly Instructions

The TOOLPORT Reception Marquee is designed for easy assembly. Follow these steps carefully for a secure setup.

3.1 Preparation

• Choose a flat, level surface for assembly, clear of any overhead obstructions or sharp objects.
• Unpack all components and lay them out, grouping similar parts. The tubes are numbered for easier identification.
• Ensure you have at least 3-4 people available for assembly. For a 4m wide tent, assembly typically takes 1.5-2 hours with 3-4 people.

3.2 Frame Assembly

1. Begin by assembling the base frame. Connect the galvanized steel tubes using the provided connectors and wing screws. The bolted assembly ensures strong load resistance.
2. Attach the vertical poles to the base frame. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Assemble the roof structure by connecting the roof tubes to the vertical poles and ridge connectors. The frame elements are firmly connected with threaded bolts that pass through all elements.
4. The welded foot elements simplify the assembly process.

3.3 Tarpaulin Installation

1. Carefully drape the single-piece roof tarpaulin over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed.
2. Secure the roof tarpaulin to the frame using the tensioners. The perimeter roof valance helps conceal gaps and stops drafts.
3. Attach the side tarpaulins to the frame. These are individual 2m wide sections, allowing for flexible configuration.
4. Install the entrance gable parts, ensuring the zipper door functions correctly.

3.4 Ground Fixation

• Once the frame and tarpaulins are in place, securely fix the marquee to the ground using the provided pegs/stakes and guy ropes. This is crucial for stability, especially in windy conditions.
• Ensure all ropes are taut and pegs are driven firmly into the ground.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your TOOLPORT Reception Marquee.

5.1 Cleaning

• Clean the PVC tarpaulins with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the tarpaulins to dry completely before storage to prevent mildew.
• Wipe down the steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.

5.2 Storage

• Before disassembling and storing, ensure all components, especially the tarpaulins, are completely dry.
• Store the marquee components in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Fold tarpaulins neatly to prevent creases and damage.

5.3 Inspection

• Periodically inspect the frame for any signs of rust, bending, or damage.
• Check the tarpaulins for tears, holes, or weakened seams. Repair any damage promptly to maintain waterproof integrity.
• Ensure all pegs, ropes, and tensioners are in good condition and functioning correctly.

6. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

6.1 Marquee Instability

• Issue: Marquee feels unstable or sways in light wind.
  Solution: Ensure all ground pegs are fully driven into the ground and guy ropes are taut and properly secured. Check all frame connections for tightness.

6.2 Water Accumulation on Roof

• Issue: Water pools on the roof during rain.
  Solution: Verify that the roof tarpaulin is stretched tightly and evenly across the frame. Adjust tensioners if necessary. Ensure the frame is correctly assembled and not sagging.

6.3 Difficulty with Zipper
