TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL: TRADITIONAL PARTY CANOPIES 9. If your tent has multiple center poles, the first pole base should be angled at 45˚ to center. Raise the remaining center poles. When you have reached the 45˚ angles, you can put a stake at the base of the pole so that it does not slip. Once all center poles are in place, return to the first center pole and adjust to almost vertical. Adjust the other poles to almost vertical until all center poles are raised and adjusted. 10. With all center poles almost vertical, bring them into line. Have someone stand at one end of the tent. Align each center pole as directed by that person. Then align each center pole from the sides of the tent. After all center poles are aligned, go around and straighten all side poles. ** If the center or side poles sink into soft ground, try using small wooden "coasters" under each pole to help prevent it from sinking. 11. If the top of the center pole appears to be leaning toward one end, try these helpful hints: • Tighten guy ropes and straighten side poles, at the end opposite of the lean, to pull the top of the center pole back to vertical. • Straighten and adjust the guy ropes at the other end. Be careful not to pull the center pole out of alignment. HELPFUL • When center poles appear vertical, adjust opposing end side poles simultaneously to HINT avoid drawing the entire tent toward one side. After ends are adjusted and guy ropes are secure, repeat down length of the tent. Again, avoid pulling or drawing entire tent to one side or the other. 12. Once all poles are vertically aligned, secure the center pole by driving a stake into the ground near the base. Tie a jump rope around the center pole and to the stake. If using sidewalls, clip the sidewalls to the sidewall rope on the inside of the valance. Sidewalls overlap approximately 2'. Buckle the ends to insure complete enclosure. NOTE: Severe weather can damage tents. If severe weather is expected, take down the tent and store in a safe area.
