2. Safety Instructions

• Weather Conditions: Do not assemble or use the tent in strong winds, heavy rain, snow, or thunderstorms. High winds can cause the tent to collapse, leading to severe injury or property damage.
• Anchoring: Always secure the tent firmly to the ground using all provided pegs and guy ropes. In soft ground, additional anchoring may be required (e.g., sandbags, heavier stakes).
• Fire Hazard: Keep all heat sources, open flames, and cooking equipment away from the tent fabric. The PVC material is not fireproof.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially if using heating or cooking appliances inside the tent. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a risk in enclosed spaces.
• Children: Keep children away from the assembly area. Do not allow children to play unsupervised inside or around the tent.
• Structural Integrity: Do not hang heavy objects from the tent frame. The frame is designed for structural support of the tent fabric only.
• Sharp Objects: Avoid contact with sharp objects that could puncture or tear the PVC fabric.
• Electrical Safety: Exercise caution with electrical equipment. Ensure all wiring is properly insulated and protected from moisture.

4.1 Frame Assembly

1. Unpack all frame components and lay them out. Refer to the numbered tubes in the separate assembly guide for identification.
2. Connect the galvanized steel tubes (approx. 38mm diameter) using the galvanized steel connectors (approx. 42mm diameter). Ensure all connections are securely bolted with the provided wing nuts.
3. Assemble the roof structure first, then attach the vertical support legs.

4.2 Tarp Installation

1. Carefully unfold the roof tarp and drape it over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed. The roof tarp is a single piece for maximum stability.
2. Attach the roof tarp to the frame using the tensioners and elastic fixation straps. Ensure the tarp is taut to prevent water pooling.
3. Install the gable end panels and side tarps. The side panels are modular and can be removed every two meters. Secure them to the frame using the elastic straps.
4. Ensure the zipper entrance on one of the gable ends is functional and properly aligned.

4.3 Ground Anchoring

1. Once the tent is fully assembled, secure it to the ground using the provided pegs and guy ropes.
2. Drive pegs firmly into the ground at all designated anchor points.
3. Attach guy ropes to the tent frame and secure them to additional pegs, pulling them taut at an angle to provide maximum stability against wind.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your reception tent.

• Cleaning: Clean the PVC tarps with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before storage.
• Frame Care: Inspect the galvanized steel frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. While galvanized, prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause issues. Clean any dirt or debris from the frame.
• Storage: Ensure all tent components (tarps, frame, accessories) are clean and completely dry before packing away. Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and pests.
• Inspection: Before and after each use, inspect the tarps for tears, punctures, or weakened seams. Check the frame for bent tubes or loose connections. Repair any damage promptly to prevent further issues.
