Throw the snap end of a pull rope over to other side of tent at the Main Arch. Caution: Make certain area is clear so

as not to strike anyone while throwing the pull rope over the top.
Using a drop-cloth, lay the fabric next to the bottom of the upright on the snap side of the frame. Snap the pull rope
onto the ring near the kedar edge. One or two installers must be assigned the job to make sure the fabric does not
twist or get caught on the frame to prevent damage to fabric. Two installers pulling the fabric slowly and in unison can
pull the fabric up and over the frame.
