Alaska Tent & Tarp 12x PORTABLE BUILDING Instructions

Thank you for purchasing an ALASKA TENT & TARP Portable Building. You should have received five (5)
bags:
1) Fabric Top Cover and Fabric End Panels
2) Base Frame and Corners
3) Wall Legs
4) Arches
5) Spanners and Augers
Your building has been set-up in our shop. We believe you should have all the correct pieces and parts.
(see Parts List) The set-up procedures are as follows:
1) Prepare the building site. If you are building a platform, the finished dimensions are that of the
building's footprint. (e.g. 12' x 18' Portable Building fits onto a 12' x 18' platform)

2) Layout the four (4) corners and base pieces and slip fit together. Each base piece has a
through it. These holes are used to anchor the building to a platform (use ¼" lag screws – not included)
or to the ground (use nail spikes – not included). Do not anchor the base frame at this time, because
the fabric cover and web straps are drawn under the frame.
3) Starting at one end of the base (front or back) install the wall legs, then, the arches – one section at
a time. (If you put all the wall legs in first, they tend to torque and stress the base frame)
NOTE: The four (4) wall legs used for the end panels have insert posts that need to point
inward. There are two left-hand and two right-hand legs.
The two (2) long arches for the end panels are identical. Since the insert posts are
top center, the long arch can go on the left side or the right side, whichever is
necessary so that the insert posts point inward.
