4. Setup Instructions

Assembly requires careful attention to detail. We recommend a minimum of 4 people for easier and safer setup.

4.1 Frame Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all frame components and lay them out in an organized manner.
2. Color-Coding Tip: For future assemblies, consider color-coding the poles and connectors with spray paint or tape. For example, use red for corner poles and yellow for connecting poles. This significantly reduces assembly time.
3. Connect Poles: Assemble the roof frame first, connecting the galvanized steel tubes. The frame features 1.5-inch (38 mm) diameter steel tubes and reinforced metal joints measuring 1.66 inches (42 mm) for strength.
4. Attach Legs: Once the roof frame is complete, attach the leg poles. Ensure all connections are secure and stable.
