4. Setup Instructions
Assembly typically requires at least 2-4 people. Ensure you have adequate space and a level surface for setup.
4.1. Site Preparation
- Choose a flat, level area free from overhead obstructions (e.g., tree branches, power lines).
- Clear the area of any sharp objects or debris that could damage the canopy material.
- Ensure adequate space around the tent for anchoring and movement.
4.2. Frame Assembly
- Unpack all galvanized steel frame poles and connectors. Organize them by type and length.
- Begin by assembling the base frame according to the provided diagram. Connect the horizontal and vertical poles using the appropriate connectors.
- Gradually build the roof structure, connecting the peak-style roof poles. The design incorporates 7 triangular structures for enhanced stability.
- Ensure all connections are secure. Do not fully tighten bolts until the entire frame is assembled to allow for minor adjustments.


4.3. Canopy Installation
- Carefully unfold the heavy-duty PE canopy cover.
- Drape the canopy over the assembled frame, ensuring it is centered and aligned correctly.
- Secure the canopy to the frame using the provided fasteners, straps, or bungee cords. Ensure a snug fit to prevent water pooling and wind damage.
- The peak-style roof is designed to prevent water and snow accumulation. Ensure the canopy is taut to maximize this feature.


4.4. Side Wall Attachment
- Attach the side walls to the frame using the integrated fastening systems (e.g., Velcro, ties, zippers).
- Ensure all side walls are properly aligned and secured to provide full enclosure and privacy.
- The transparent church-style windows are equipped with rollable covers for adjustable privacy.

4.5. Anchoring and Securing
- Drive the U-type anchoring pegs into the ground through the designated loops or holes at the base of the tent frame.
- Utilize the ratchet straps to further secure the frame to the ground pegs, ensuring the structure is tight and stable.
- Connect the door panels to the shelter frame using the provided attachments and secure them with ratchet straps.
- For additional stability, especially in potentially windy conditions, use the included steel rope sets to brace the side frames.


5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Using Rollable Window Covers
- Each transparent window on the side walls is equipped with a rollable cover.
- To open, unfasten the bottom of the cover and roll it upwards. Secure it in the rolled position using the attached ties or fasteners.
- To close, unfasten the rolled cover and let it down smoothly. Secure the bottom to the side wall to maintain privacy.
5.2. General Usage
- This tent is suitable for various outdoor events such as weddings, parties, fairs, and commercial gatherings.
- Ensure proper ventilation, especially if using heating or cooking equipment inside (maintain safe distances from tent walls).
- Monitor weather conditions. In case of strong winds, heavy rain, or snow, it is recommended to temporarily remove the canopy and side walls or fully disassemble the tent to prevent damage.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Canopy and Side Walls
- Clean the PE material with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely before storage to prevent mildew.
- For stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used gently.
6.2. Frame Inspection
- Periodically inspect the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, bending, or damage.
- Check all connections and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Tighten as necessary.
- Replace any damaged components immediately to maintain structural integrity.
6.3. Storage
- Before storing, ensure all fabric components (canopy, side walls) are completely dry to prevent mold and mildew.
- Disassemble the tent in reverse order of assembly.
- Store all components in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Keep small parts (pegs, straps) organized in a bag to prevent loss.
7. Troubleshooting
- Tent Instability: Ensure all U-pegs are fully driven into the ground and ratchet straps are tightened. Verify all frame connections are secure. Disassemble in high winds.
- Water Pooling on Roof: Ensure the canopy is stretched tautly over the frame. Re-adjust the canopy and frame connections if necessary. The peak roof design should minimize pooling.
- Difficulty Assembling Frame: Double-check that all poles and connectors are correctly identified and matched according to the assembly diagram. Do not force connections; ensure proper alignment.
- Missing Parts: Refer to the 'Package Contents' section. If parts are missing upon arrival, contact customer support immediately.
