Quick-Snap Basics ® When erecting the Sports Cage, connect the two sections of bungied tubes together, as shown below. Twist them to align the lock button with the lock hole, as shown below. Depress the lock button and slide the two sections of tubing together. Be sure the lock button springs back securely inside the lock hole. Step 1 — Erecting the Roof Frame Identify, and set aside for later installation, the four six-foot bungied tubes with the warning labels affixed.

Insert the wider end of a 3-foot tube into a 3-way fitting. Next, insert the narrow end into a 6-foot bungied tube, as shown below. Insert another 3-foot tube into the other end of the 6-foot bungied tube. You will now have a 12-foot length of tubing, as shown below. Repeat this process three times, and assemble the resulting four 12-foot lengths into a square. The roof frame is now complete.

Step 5 — Erecting the Corner Posts to Twelve Feet High: Connect the four remaining 3-foot tubes to the 9-foot corner post tubes to make the frame twelve feet high.
Step 6 — Assembling the Base Frame: Using the remaining tubes and fittings, lay out the base frame and assemble it, as shown below. Move the base frame under the corner posts. For best results, we recommend one person at each corner of the base frame. Then connect the corner post tubes to the fittings in the base frame.
Attach a foot tube to each outside fitting in the base frame, as shown below. Step 7 — For Outdoor Use: Put the ground-anchor loops into the ground so that they completely engage the foot tubes, as shown in the photo below. IMPORTANT: When using your JUGS Portable Free- Standing Sports Cage outdoors, you must stake it down with the ground-anchor loops.
