Make certain that tent is positioned in the desired
location and uprights are square and aligned before
staking. Drive a 1” x 30” stake through each base­plate. Fasten guy web snaps to ring on corner weld­ments.
At other end of guy webs, drive a 1” x 30” stake
through the ring. Tension guy web. See illustration
for positioning of stake.
Repeat for intermediate uprights.
While tensioning the frame down, continually check
the alignment to insure the frame is square and
plumb. Pay special attention to the eave bars when
tensioning the intermediate guy webs so that the eave
does not bow.
See guy web operating instructions provided.

TENSION TOP

A firmly tensioned top is required for proper installation.
Pull fabric tightly and smoothly to minimize water pool­ing, wind damage, fabric shifting. Use ratchets on ten­sion straps to tension the top (See Step 6).

Now tighten all eight of the fiesta straps spaced between
the uprights (See Step 10).

TAKE DOWN

1. Remove guy webs and stakes.

2. Loosen tension straps.

3. Reverse installation steps.

Check guy webs and tension straps periodically for tightness and good condition.

Re-tension as needed after windy or rainy conditions. Failure to do so may result in

pooling or failure of the tent.

Store tent in a cool, dry area. Never store while wet or damp.

NOTE:

Tensioning of top can change from
installation to installation. Cable
stretch, fabric shrinkage or elongation
and other factors can require a differ­ent amount of tension to center pole.

NOTE:

The center of the fabric eaves should
be approximately 3” below the frame
eaves when properly tensioned.

Anchor products are of superior design and operate best within the parameters of these instruc-

tions. It is IMPERATIVE that the instructions be carefully read and COMPLETELY FOLLOWED.

Please read installation instructions before the installation or removal of this product. Installation

instructions are available at www.anchorinc.com.

For additional assistance consult: “The IFAI Procedural Handbook For The Safe

Installation And Maintenance Of Tentage” and the IFAI “Pullout Capacity Of Tent Stakes”,

both available from the IFAI Tent Rental Division.

CAUTION:

1. For each installation, the installer is solely responsible for evaluating the site and the proper

securing method determined. Some soils require different staking or securing than that pro­vided with the tent. Due to this variety of soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested
sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibility is limited to the construction of the
tent. We are not responsible for methods that installers may choose to secure the tent to the
ground.

2. Inasmuch as the weather is unpredictable, good judgment and common sense must be incor­porated within installation guidelines. It is the responsibility of the tent installer/maintainer to
determine the severity of the weather, proper time and method of installation and/or erection and
disassembly.

This product has been manufactured for use as a temporary structure. For the safety of all occu­pants, evacuation is recommended if threatening weather occurs, or if there is any doubt concern­ing the safe use of this product.

3. Proper safety equipment should be used at all times to insure a safe installation and take
down. We suggest a careful evaluation be made to determine safety equipment needed, such as
hard hats, steel-toe shoes, safety glasses and other as required.
