X-CABLING GENERAL INFORMATION:
NOTE: THIS INFORMATION IS CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT ENGINEERING DATA AND SUPERSEDES ANY
OTHER CABLING GUIDELINES DESCRIBED IN THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL.
For safety, X-cabling must be installed according to the above, engineered pattern. Unless it is properly cabled, the beam
system can fall in even moderate winds. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow the patterns shown above, which have
been approved by engineering analyses to ensure the safety of the structure. Secondary cables are added to the second
bay only and do not include side cables. The interior cabled bays may be positioned in any manner that avoids having (6)
consecutive side bays without cabling.
If the rafters of your 20m frame are spliced (keystoned) at 15m or 10m, the roof cables may be in two sections spliced endto-end. This 2-piece construction lets you remove the upper sections of the cables and use the lower sections on your 15m
or 10m frame. If your 20m frame is a reduction of a 25m frame, you can add 2.5m upper sections to the roof cables to
accomodate the full 25m span.
When installing x-cabling, it is best to attach all cables before tightening any of them. Then begin at ground level and tighten the cables in ascending order. The x-cabling should be used to establish a good vertical alignment of the beams either
by plumbing the beams or by using a careful visual sighting. Good alignment of the beams will improve the appearance of
the structure and make fabric installation easier.
SECONDARY
ROOF
CABLES “V”
SIDE VIEWS SHOWN
1. All 20m Structures require primary roof and side x-cabled end bays.
2. Structures with 6 or more total bays also require secondary x-cables in
the roof section only
of the second bays. Viewed from above, these form
a “V” shape. (Structures with 5 bays or less do not require secondary
cables in the second bay.)
3. No more than 6 consecutive
non-cabled side
bays are permitted.
4. After the 6th open side bay, an additional x-cabled bay with full primary
roof cables and side cables must be added to the interior, so that no more
than (6) consecutive side bays are non-cabled.

3.3 Mounting of the wind bracings
Mount the wind bracings (pic. 11).
Do not move them out.
Mount each of wind bracing to the first and to both last fields of the tent.
They must not be more than 6 free fields between the bracings.
If more than 6 free fields are built, then an additional wind bracing has to be
mounted.
See the picture 11 for the mounting of the brace fields.
In principle:
The wires of the wind bracings have to be mounted in the way that the
toggle-type fasteners are always set at the bottom part of the wire.
By the pre-assembly the roofing bonds have to be fastened only to a bay.
3.3.1 Prepare the wires of the wind bracings (accord. pic. 11) to the
equivalent fields.
3.3.2 Screw on the toggle-type fasteners of the side (do not screw them on
at all) Unhook the shackel.
3.3.3 Mount the ring bolts M16x120 of the roofing bonds to the ridge
connectors and fix them tight (pic. 9).
3.3.4 Feed from below the ring bolts into the endbay and screw the nut from
above, feed from above the ring bolt inside to the bay and screw it
from below with the nut. Hook the shackel (pic. 12).
3.3.5 Mount the side bonds to the corner- and middle legs according the
above instructions (pic. 8).

4 Erection of the tent
You need a self-propelling crane or a fork stacker with telescope for the
putting of the tent (see also point 1.2).
Protect the dangerous spots during lifting.
Do not work under hanging load!
4.1.1 Put the legs of the mounted beams in to the already placed
baseplates types B. Adjust the boring, bolt the baseplate and the legs
of bay with the pin. Insert the pin from the inside of the tent to
outside. Fix tightly the pin with a R-clip.
4.1.2 Place the gable supports to their receivers of the end beams and if
provided place them the ridge connectors and bolt them. Fix them
tight by screwing down the safety bracket (pic. 18). After the
adjusting of the bay, the gable supports can be placed to the
baseplates.
4.1.3 Feed two load belts into the gravity center of bay (pic. 3) to the beams
and lift the bay with the aid of the crane or fork stacker. Place to both
sides the wires of the wind bracings. Now fix tightly to both sides the
bay with the wires after the setting upright.
4.1.4 Lift the bay slowly and take care that is not going to be twisted.
4.1.5 Place the bay vertical and fix it tight with the wires of the wind
bracings. The helpers are supporting the legs. Lay the wires of the
wind bracings to both sides and fix them tight by beating in the
anchors.
4.1.6 Disharge carefully the load belt and hung it off.
4.1.7 Follow the points 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 also for the 2. bay. After erecting
the 2. bay, leave them on the hooks.

4.2.1 The corner- and middle legs do not fit to the baseplate’s receiver:
This is usually the result of the inaccurate working in point 2.
With the aid of the crowbar try to move the baseplate in the way that
the pins could be fixed. If this is not able, check the points from 2.1.2
until 2.1.17.
4.2.2 The baseplate pins cannot be fixed tight:
The baseplates are faung the wrong way.
Pull the earth-anchors, place the baseplates again and beat in the

5 Mounting of tent’s covers
Before starting the mounting of the tent’s covers, all earth-anchors have to
be beaten in and the wind bracings tightened (compare point 4).
Use the leading-in conductor for covers. It makes mounting easier and helps
to avoid damages to the covers.
Do not try to pull in the cover with force. If there is any heavy resistance, pull
back another time and try again.

the right and left keder of the cover through the leading-in conductor
into the keder groove of the roof beam, through pulling of the
traction cables of the opposite tent’s side (pic. 19).
5.1.7 Pull the two of the traction wires at the same time the roof cover into
the roof
beam. Pull the cover slowly over the ridge.
5.1.8 After the setting of the cover into the roof beam, the traction wires
will be removed and hang up to the 3. traction wire, which has been
pulled in with the cover over the ridge. The traction wire will be
stretched back in a way that both of the other traction wires can be
placed again to the start position.

5.4 Pulling in the gable covers (gable triangle)
The covers for the cover gable are each composed of 2 gable covers, an eyeand a loop side. The inside area of the tent is marked through the sewing of
the loops that turns down to the inside and bond resp. this is the overlapping
of the sides, which makes a right angle.
The outsides have been marked with the signboard RÖDER (if provided)
and/or with colour lines (if provided).
5.4.1 Feed with the keder the gable triangles into the above keder groove of
the endbeams. Hang up 1-2 wires into the traction eye. 1-2 mounting
helpers are pulling from the mounting drawing case or the movable
platform to the wires of the triangle covers until the ridge (pic. 26).
5.4.2 Cord up each of the both gable covers according to (pic. 30) from the
top to bottom and bind them on the tent inside. Bind the last loop
(pic. 27).
5.4.3 Repeat the points 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 for the opposite gable side.
5.5 Pulling in the sides- and gable walls
Every gable of the gable curtains is composed of wide and small roof covers
and each of them has been marked in a lower corner (GV = Gable wall).
The side walls will be fixed to the longest side of the tent and they have been
also marked (SV = Side wall).
Apply in the same way as the gable covers in setting through loops- and eye
sides.
5.5.1 Allocate the covers and lay them. The cranked hooks must be laying
upwards. The cranked hooks are facing to the outside of the tent by
the side walls, any by the gable walls are facing to the inside of the
tent (pic. 28).
5.5.2 Feed the keder upwards of the cover to the keder groove of the tent’s
legs and push it totally upwards.

6 Dismantling
For the dismantling of the tent you have to follow the instructions in reverse
to the construction.
The principle of dismantling:
All the covers of the tent ought to be dry before you start folding.
After dismantling you have to mark, sort and load all the building
components immediately.
The using of the peg puller, which is provided as an accessory part, makes
the removing of the earth anchors easier.
6.1 Dismantle the ground rails.
6.2 Undo, dismantle and lay on clean ground the sides- and the gable
walls and fold them together, resp. roll in pairs every accompanying
eye- and loop side.
6.3 Undo, dismantle and lay on a clean ground the gable covers and fold
them together, resp. roll in pairs every accompanying eye- and loop
side.
6.4 Unhook the roof cover bracing, resp. remove and dismantle it.
6.5 Remove from each other the buckle straps, resp. bur band of the roof
covers.
6.6 Remove the roof cover, place it on clean ground and fold it together,
resp. roll it.
6.7 Dismantle the gable supports and gable eave rails of the first gable.
6.8 Mount the setting rods to the first corner legs of one gable side and
fix the pin tightly.
6.9 Loosen the wind bracing to the first field.
6.10 Dismantle the wind bracings of the first field.
6.11 Dismantle all purlins of the first field.
6.12 4 people are fixing tightly the first bay.
6.13 Lay down the first bay carefully.
6.14 Dismantle the beams, legs and middle ridge connectors for all the
bays.
6.15 Repeat the points 6.7 and 6.14 for all the bays.
6.16 Pull the anchors.

7 Service notes
7.1 Construction of the tent
7.1.1 The restretching of the wind bracings, treaded bolt connections and
roof racings is requisite:
- every 3 months (stand-by time)
- after hot periods
- after a strong gale
7.1.2 Pay attention to the earth-anchors, that is deep seated in a solid
position.
7.1.3 Check for deformation or damage.
7.1.4 If there are any damaged parts, then change them immediately with
new original spare parts.
7.2 Bedding and transport
To avoid damage to the aluminium profile you have to bed and to transport
all the aluminium profiles on a smooth area (e.g. RÖDER transport units) and
you have to pay attention to the profile, that stand out on the smaller profile
side.
7.3 Routine visual inspection
Periodically carry out a visual inspection after every use (e.g. after every event
day):
The inter- and eave purlins have to be hung up according to the rules.
The bolt- and pin connections have to be inspected.
Dirty covers have to be cleaned (the washing can take place in our own
RÖDER laundry).
