Please read this entire instruction manual before starting to assemble your shelter. If you require assistance during the construction process you may call us at 1-800-245-9881.

For permanent installations, we recommend using ground posts at the bottoms of all legs. They not only anchor your shelter but also make your pavilion easier to assemble.
