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.

1 Introduction
The following instructions describe in a methodical plan the construction and
erection of your RÖDER tent.
Follow always these instructions.
Work from point to point.
If it is necessary, there are extra points, in which you have to take care or pay
special attention.
Please pay attention to the appropriate safety regulations for
prevention of accidents.
Regarding the contents of this document:
The points 1-5 describe the construction of the tent. The points 6-8 repeat
additional technical informations, maintenance and dismantling’s instruction.
The drawings are made to show clearly the construction and dismantling
procedures and also for the identification of the separate building
components.
It has to be pointed out that the pictures, do not always correspond to the
real dimension and size. Explanations and/or notes have been added to
these pictures.
If you have any questions, please call

1.1 General notes
Before starting construction you must read this documentation exactly. If the
points are clear and the building components are identified and ready, then
start construction and follow the instructions step by step.
Pay attention to the safety regulations for prevention of accidents.
The life of the helpers may be in danger due to the lack of knowledge and
poor observation of the given regulations.
Work on every point of the instructions chronologically.
For the construction of the tent there has to be a minimum of 6 people.
Notes on safety:
The joining of the ropes has to be stretched after mounting.
The taking out of the ropes is not allowed.
Use the supplied construction tools for the installation.
Pay attention to the pins, that they are fixed solid after mounting.
Pay attention to the purlins and to the intermediaite purlins to erect them
always correctly.
During mounting wear protective clothing according to your work to prevent
injuries.
Replaced used or damaged components with original new ones.
Pay attention to:
You have to keep the relevant safety appliances and standart specifications.
(Employer’s liability insurance association).
The construction helpers have to be instructed about the possible dangers
before construction begins.
The supervision and the responsibility has to be taken by an expert person
during the construction.
Expert is the person who knows about the operating cycle and the requisite
safety precautions.

2 Straightening of the tent and laying of the baseplates
The main topology of the tent has to be straighten locally (e.g. road course,
front of houses etc.). It has to be carefully and exactly positioned, by lying
and straightening of the baseplates. The wrong placing of the baseplates will
incurr difficulties to the whole construction. Pay attention to the list of point
8.1, page 42. The borings of each baseplate for the given legs have to be
equivalent to the numbers of the earth anchors for placing.
Prepared assembling auxiliaries:
Construction tools: Building components:
Measuring rod All the provided baseplates 4-hole and 6-hole
Measuring tape For every baseplate equivalent number of earth-anchors
Directional cord For every baseplate a baseplate pin
Aboutsledge
2.1 Laying of the baseplates
Indentify and assign the components according pic. 3.
Note: Do not beat the earth-anchors at all, leave about 5 cm
providing for adjustment.
The safety brackets of the baseplates are facing to the inside of the tent.
2.1.1 Choose a front orientation.
2.1.2 Stretch the directional cord (tent‘s length + 2m each side).
2.1.3 Adjust 1. baseplate parallel to the directional cord of the right angle
and fix it with the 2 earth-anchors (do not beat in the earth-anchors
`all the way).
