Installation Steps
- Place the roof pipes and tubing that makes up the length on the ground with the correct fittings next to them. The 3-way fittings will be installed at the front and back ends of the canopy and the 4-way fittings will be installed at the center connection points.
- Connect the pipe and fittings. At this point the entire top of the canopy frame will be sitting on the ground in an A-shape formation.
- Drape the tarp over the top of the frame and secure the corners with the Ball Bungee Ties. It is best to start at one corner and then secure the opposite corners working in an X formation. Attach the Ball Bungee Ties by pulling the elastic band up through the grommet from the underside of the tarp. Once the plastic ball catches on the grommet, wrap the elastic around the tubing until there is tension. Finally, slide the tightened elastic back over the plastic ball.
- Lift one side of the canopy frame so the structure is tilted. Slide the legs into the underside of the fittings. Once all the legs have been installed on the lifted side you may now go the other side and repeat the process.
- Now that the canopy frame is complete, double check all Bungee Ties and make adjustments as necessary.
