4. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps for proper assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.
- Prepare the Site: Choose a level, clear area for the tent. Ensure adequate space around the tent for assembly and anchoring.
- Assemble the Floor Frame: Lay out the steel pipes for the floor frame according to the diagram in the detailed PDF manual. Connect them using the provided connectors and bolts. This frame provides increased stability.
- Erect the Vertical Poles: Attach the vertical steel poles to the floor frame using the bolted connections. Ensure all connections are secure.

- Side Walls: The individual side walls can be easily removed or re-attached every 2 meters, offering flexibility for ventilation or access along the tent's length.
- Ventilation: Utilize the flexible side walls and entrances to manage airflow and prevent condensation inside the tent.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the PVC tarpaulin regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the entire structure, including the frame, tarpaulin, and anchoring points, for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Tighten Connections: Ensure all bolted connections on the steel frame remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, ensure all components are clean and dry to prevent mold or corrosion. Store in a cool, dry place.
7. Troubleshooting
- Instability: If the tent feels unstable, check all anchoring points and ensure guy ropes are taut. Verify that all frame connections are securely bolted.
- Water Leakage: Ensure the roof tarpaulin is properly tensioned and all elastic loops are securely fastened. Check for any tears or damage to the PVC material.
