Setup Instructions
Assembly is straightforward and does not require additional tools. It is highly recommended to have at least two people for assembly to ensure stability and prevent damage to components.
Step 1: Assemble the Top Frame
Begin by assembling the roof framework using the steel tubes and plastic connectors. Ensure all connections are secure. The cross structure on the top is designed for stability.

Step 2: Cover with Top Tarp Material
Carefully drape the canopy top fabric over the assembled top frame. Ensure it is centered and aligned correctly. The ceiling and pipes are secured by hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro).

Step 3: Pull Up and Secure Legs
With assistance, carefully lift the entire structure and attach the leg poles. Pull up the leg skirt and secure it with the integrated hooks. Each leg pole has adjustable gears to control top cloth tightness.
Step 4: Anchor the Tent
For added stability, use the provided ropes and stakes to anchor the tent securely to the ground. This is crucial, especially in light wind conditions.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the fabric to air dry completely before storage.
- Frame Care: The steel framework is rust and corrosion-resistant. Wipe down poles with a damp cloth as needed.
- Storage: Disassemble the tent and store all components in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the fabric is completely dry to prevent mold and mildew.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all poles, connectors, ropes, and stakes for wear or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately to ensure continued safe operation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tent frame bends or collapses | Excessive wind or rain; improper anchoring; flimsy poles. | Do not use in strong winds or heavy rain. Ensure proper anchoring with all ropes and stakes. Consider additional anchoring methods for increased stability. Replace bent or broken poles immediately as they cannot be straightened. |
| Canopy fabric tears | Overstretching during assembly; sharp edges on frame; prolonged exposure to harsh weather. | Be gentle when installing the canopy. Ensure no sharp edges on the frame. Avoid leaving the tent exposed to extreme weather. Small tears can be repaired with waterproof repair tape. |
| Difficulty assembling poles/connectors | Misalignment; manufacturing tolerance. | Ensure correct orientation of poles and connectors. Apply gentle pressure. If a connection is too loose, some users have found success with white duct tape to reinforce joints, though this is not an official recommendation. |
