2. Identify the different lengths of metal poles and types of corner connectors.
3. Begin by assembling the base frame using the shortest poles and appropriate corner connectors.

4.2. Tent Fabric Installation

1. Before attempting to pull the fabric over the frame, unzip all zippers completely. This will provide necessary slack and prevent strain on the fabric and zippers.
2. Carefully drape the tent fabric over the assembled metal frame. Start from the top and work your way down, ensuring the corners align.
3. Gently pull the fabric down over each corner of the frame. The fit will be snug to ensure lightproofing.
4. Once the fabric is fully over the frame, begin zipping up the main doors and other openings.
5. Install the hanging bars across the top frame as needed for your equipment.
6. Place the removable floor tray inside the tent, ensuring it lies flat.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Tent Fabric: Wipe down the interior and exterior of the tent with a damp cloth and mild soap solution as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
• Cleaning the Floor Tray: The removable floor tray can be easily taken out and cleaned with water and soap to remove spilled soil or water.
• Zipper Care: Periodically check zippers for smooth operation. If a zipper becomes stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax. Always zip and unzip carefully to prevent damage.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the metal frame and connectors for any signs of wear or loosening. Tighten connections if necessary.

7. Troubleshooting

• Light Leaks: Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the fabric is properly stretched over the frame. Check for any small gaps around ventilation ports and tighten drawstrings.
• Sticking Zippers: Apply zipper lubricant or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth.
• Tent Instability: Verify that all metal poles are fully inserted into their connectors. Ensure the tent is on a level surface.
• Difficulty Fitting Fabric: Ensure all zippers are completely open before attempting to pull the fabric over the frame. A second person can assist in stretching the fabric over the frame corners.
