Setup Instructions

Assembly is designed for quick setup. It is recommended that two or more people assist with the setup process.

  1. Step 1: Open the Canopy Frame. Carefully pull the canopy frame outwards from its folded position. Partially extend the legs. Secure the frame with the hook & loop fasteners if present on the frame.
  2. Step 2: Attach the Canopy Top. Place the canopy fabric over the partially opened frame. Ensure the fabric is centered and all corners are aligned with the frame's corners. Secure the canopy top to the frame using any integrated hook & loop fasteners.
  3. Step 3: Lock the Frame and Adjust Height. Fully extend the canopy frame until it locks into place. Press the adjust button on each leg to select your desired height (9.7 ft, 10 ft, or 10.4 ft). Ensure all legs are set to the same height and are securely locked.
  4. Step 4: Attach the Sidewalls. Attach the sidewalls to the canopy frame using the hook & loop fasteners. The 2 zippered sidewalls can be placed on any side for entry/exit, and the 4 window sidewalls can be arranged as desired.

Securing the Canopy: After assembly, use the provided ground stakes and wind ropes. Attach the wind ropes to the canopy frame's corners and stake them firmly into the ground at an angle. This enhances stability, especially in light wind conditions.

Operating Instructions

  • Height Adjustment: To adjust the canopy height, press the red adjust button on each leg and slide the inner leg to the desired position. Ensure the button clicks into place at the chosen height.
  • Sidewall Usage: The 6 detachable sidewalls offer flexibility. Use all six for maximum enclosure, or fewer for an open feel. The two zippered sidewalls provide convenient entry and exit points.
  • Sun Protection: The canopy fabric features UPF 50+ silver coating for sun protection. While it offers excellent UV resistance, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight is not recommended.
  • Drizzle Resistance: The 210D Oxford fabric is drizzle-resistant, providing protection from light rain. It is not designed for heavy rainfall.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning Fabric: Clean the canopy fabric and sidewalls with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry completely before storage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Frame Care: Inspect the metal frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. Clean any dirt or debris from the frame. If rust appears, clean it and apply a rust-inhibiting paint.
  • Inspection: Before each use, inspect all components for wear, tear, or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately to ensure safe operation.

Storage

Proper storage extends the life of your canopy.

  • Ensure the canopy fabric and sidewalls are completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mold and mildew.
  • Disassemble the canopy by reversing the setup steps.
  • Fold the canopy fabric and sidewalls neatly.
