Follow these steps for a quick and efficient assembly of your party tent. The tubes are numbered for easier identification.

3.1 Estimated Assembly Time

• 3m wide tents: 1 to 1.5 hours with two people.
• 4m wide tents (like this model): 1.5 to 2 hours with three to four people.
• 5m wide tents or larger: 2 to 2.5 hours with three to four people.

3.2 Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Unpack and Sort: Carefully unpack all components and sort them according to the parts list in your detailed assembly guide. Verify all parts are present.
2. Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the galvanized steel frame. Connect the numbered tubes using the provided bolted connections and butterfly screws. Ensure all connections are secure. The welded foot plates should be oriented correctly for ground anchoring.
3. Install the Roof Tarpaulin: Carefully place the one-piece roof tarpaulin over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed. The roof tarpaulin is 100% waterproof and resistant to tearing.
4. Attach Gable Ends: Secure the gable end tarpaulins to the frame. Position the gable with the zipper door at your desired entrance point.
5. Attach Side Walls: Install the side tarpaulin sections using the elastic fasteners. These sections are modular (2m each) and can be mounted/dismounted as needed. Ensure the wind deflectors are properly positioned for optimal air circulation and temperature regulation.
6. Secure to the Ground: Use the provided pegs and tension ropes to firmly anchor the tent to the ground. This is crucial for stability, especially in windy conditions.

4.2 Weather Considerations

While the tent offers protection, it is important to consider weather conditions:

• Rain: The PVC tarpaulin is waterproof, providing protection from rain. Ensure all seams are properly sealed during assembly.
• Wind: Always secure the tent with pegs and tension ropes. For increased wind, consider a storm kit. In strong winds, temporary dismantling is recommended.
• Snow: Regularly remove snow from the roof to prevent accumulation and potential damage. Dismantle the tent during heavy snowfall.
• Sun: The PVC material offers UV protection, making it suitable for sunny conditions.

5. Maintenance and Storage

Proper maintenance and storage will extend the lifespan of your TOOLPORT Party Tent.

5.1 Cleaning

• Tarpaulins: Clean PVC tarpaulins with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material and its protective coatings. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame: Wipe down the galvanized steel frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Inspect for any signs of rust or damage.

5.2 Storage

• Dry Conditions: Ensure all tent components, especially the tarpaulins, are completely dry before packing them away. Storing damp materials can lead to mold, mildew, and material degradation.
• Organized Packing: Disassemble the tent in reverse order of assembly. Fold tarpaulins neatly and store frame components in their original packaging or suitable bags to prevent loss or damage.
• Cool, Dry Place: Store the tent in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
