Setup Instructions – Hub & Spoke Round Pavilon

Introduction

This article will guide you through the steps for setting up one of my round pavilions. It will likely

work well, though with some variation in details, on any hub & spoke round pavilion with detachable

walls. If your walls are attached, this article may be of some use, but the technique presented will

probably require some modification.

Preparation

1. Choose wher you want the center of your tent and set the

baseplate there.

2. Lay the out set-up ropes.

1. Pace out about 13 feet from the base plate.

2. Drive a spike most of the way into the ground. (angled away

from the baseplate).

3. Tie one of the set-up ropes to it using a tautline hitch.

4. Repeat for the rest of the set-up ropes.

3. Lay the roof fabric on the ground with the peak at the

baseplate.

4. Assemble the center pole.

Slide the hub on the upper section, add the disk and spike to the top, and assemble the two halves.

5. Assemble the roof

1. Slide the center-pole up inside the roof.

2. Put the top spike up through the hole in the center of the

roof.

3. Add the standoff nipple to the spike. (this helps keep the

set-up ropes from rubbing on the tent roof)

4. Slip the eyes of the set-up ropes over the spike.
