4. Setup Instructions
Assembly requires at least two people. Follow these steps for a secure and efficient setup:
- Unpack and Organize: Lay out all frame components, connectors, fabric covers, and stakes on a clean, flat surface. Group similar parts together.
- Assemble the Roof Frame: Connect the galvanized steel tubes using the metal connectors to form the roof structure. Utilize the user-friendly push-button system for secure connections. Refer to the diagram for correct orientation.
- Attach the Legs: Once the roof frame is complete, attach the vertical leg poles to the corners and intermediate points of the roof frame.
- Raise the Frame: With assistance, carefully lift the assembled frame to its full height. Ensure all connections are firmly seated.
- Install the Top Cover: Drape the waterproof PE top cover over the frame. Secure it to the frame using the provided fasteners or ties. Ensure the cover is taut to prevent water pooling.
- Attach Sidewalls and Doors: Install the removable window walls and zipper doors to the sides of the tent. These attach via fasteners or ties along the frame.
- Anchor the Tent: Securely anchor the tent to the ground using the provided super stakes. Drive the stakes deep into the ground at each leg and any additional anchor points. For extra stability, consider using guy ropes (not included) if conditions warrant.

- Storage: Disassemble the tent and store all components in the provided storage bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the fabric is completely dry to prevent mold and mildew.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the fabric for tears or punctures and the frame for bends or rust. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water pooling on roof | Top cover not taut enough; improper assembly; heavy rain. | Ensure the top cover is stretched tightly across the frame. Re-check frame assembly for correct angles. Disassemble in heavy rain. |
| Tent instability | Insufficient anchoring; loose frame connections; strong winds. | Verify all super stakes are fully driven into the ground. Check all push-button connections. Disassemble in strong winds. |
