Now attach the four corner elements to the even ends of the poles. Make sure that the safety buttons lock into the designated holes.
While putting the square onto the floor, make sure that the holes of the corner connecting elements are upturned.

You have assembled the lower half of the tubular frame. Repeat these steps with the left-over frame pieces and you'll have the upper half of the tubular frame.
a)
Take frame pieces (a) with connecting elements at the end. Insert them from the top into each corner connecting element.
Make sure that the safety buttons lock into the designated holes.

Set up the upper half of the frame in a way that allows you to conveniently hook in the fabric and adjust it.
Spread out the fabric. The white diffusor fabric needs to point upwards. On one of the four sides you will find a tag (Greg Gorman). This tag indicates where to find the open side of the fabric.

Attach the fabric to the corners of the frame. Take a BUNGEE-SNAKE and thread it in the plastic ring at the corner of the fabric, as well as in the hole at the inside of the corner connection.
There are plastic loops alongside the edges of the fabric. Every second loop needs to be mounted to the frame – use BUNGEE­SNAKES.
Lift up the upper part of the tubular frame and place it on the connecting elements of the lower half of the frame. If you have an assistant, lift up two diagonally opposite corners at the same time.
16 17 18
Make sure that all safety buttons lock into the designated holes. Secure THE CAGE against wind (as shown in 25-27). Then, mount the side panels to the frame using BUNGEE-SNAKES.
Also, mount the side panels to the frame at the bottom edge (with BUNGEE-SNAKES).
The upper side of the CAGE can be used as a diffusor. To do so, open the zippers on the side of the black cover panel and roll them up towards the back. Attach the rolled­up cover panel with the yellow strings.
19 20 21
The black back panel can be opened. Just unzip the two zippers on the sides.
Roll up the rear panel and attach it with the four yellow strings.
THE CAGE with opened rear panel.
22 23 24
You can mount arbitrary backdrops into THE CAGE. As an optional supply you can order a black duvetine fabric with hooks at the upper edge and on the sides.
Attach the backdrop fabric to the plastic loops at the rear panel. Thread BUNGEE­SNAKES in the fabric loops and tie them.
Attach the fabric to the loops on the side and straighten it out. Pull the hanging fabric to the front and you'll create a cove.

THE CAGE needs to be secured with sandbags or tent pegs at any time. Even if there is no wind during the set-up process. Be aware that even in interior spaces strong wind can occur unexpectedly due to open doors or windows.
For security purposes attach one rope to each corner connecting element of the four cube corners. The rope needs the be pulled around the pole and through the hole of the corner connection. Then it needs to be fastened.
The other end of the rope needs to be mounted to a sandbag or a strong tent peg. Depending on the wind force it might be necessary to use more than one sandbag for each rope.
Safety instructions!
Keep a distance of 5 feet or more between hot lights and the fabric. Extend the distance when using bigger light sources. You can test the heat which hits the fabric by carefully approaching the hot area with your hand. If you can bear it easily, the distance is OK for the moment. Please repeat this test frequently, since the lights will get hotter and the room temperature can increase, too. In order to prevent overheating and to eliminate fire hazard, please make adjustments according to the temperature changes. Be aware that loose fabric parts may not get closer to the light sources as defined above.
Turning the fabric
You can position the white side panel either to the right or to the left of THE CAGE. All you need to do is turn the fabric inside out before mounting it to the frame. The fabric has plastic loops both on the inside and outside for attachment to the tubular frame. Be aware that the black cover inside of the roof can only be zipped and unzipped from one side. Remember to zip or unzip the cover before turning it.
