Installation :

Step 1: Locate the column bottom plate
First determine the ground level of the installation site, and then locate the bottom plate, the distance from the center of the bottom plate to the center of the bottom plate is 15 meters vertically, 5 meters horizontally, because this tutorial is a 15-meter span of the tent as an example, so the longitudinal distance is 15 meters, that is, the length of the tent direction, can be extended infinitely by a multiple of 5 meters. Notice the distance from the center to the center. After determining the position of the four baseboards, then measure whether the diagonal distances are equal. If it's not equal, you have to reposition it, you have to make sure it's a rectangle and not a parallelogram. After setting the position, fix the column and bottom plate in the corresponding four positions (for the fixing method, see Section 3 of this article: Fixing measures for the tent). In the same way, the other bottom plates in the direction of length are positioned and fixed.

Step 2: Lay out the parts
The column, Angle node, inclined beam segment A, inclined beam segment B (note span of more than 14 meters need to use two diagonal beams), inclined beam to undertake the piece (connecting inclined beam segment A and inclined beam segment B, 14 meters span below without this part), the top node is placed, all parts constitute a gable, that is, the so-called span of the herron-shaped frame. The other gables parts are placed according to the same principle, paying attention to be placed flat on the ground in one direction.

Step 3: Connect the inclined beam A/B segment
Insert section A of the inclined beam into the inclined beam adapter of section B of the inclined beam (we will assemble the inclined beam adapter to section B of the inclined beam when packing), and fasten two screws (note: the small hole is not installed with screws).

Step 4: Install the top node
Connect section AB of the connected inclined beam to the top node, fasten the screws, and tighten them. If it is the first gear, it is necessary to install the wire cable, install the buckle of the end of the wire cable on the second hole of the inclined beam B, fasten the screw, slightly tighten the nut, and be sure to ensure that the buckle can rotate freely
Note: It should be noted that the screw rod is generally toward the inside of the tent, and the screws of the first gable and the second gable are relative to each other, especially the installation direction of the wire cable must be relative, only when the gable is erected can the wire cable be pulled. Install all the top joints and the inclined beam AB section in this way.

Step 5: Install the corner node
Insert the diagonal end of the Angle node into section A of the Angle beam, and connect the upper end of the column to the straight end of the Angle node. At the same time, insert the screw and screw on the nut.
Note: If installing the wire cable and cross bar, install the screw in the hole above the inclined end of the Angle node, and install the screw in the hole below the straight end of the Angle node. Install the other corner nodes in the same way.

Step 6: Connect the column to the bottom plate
Align the lower plug-in holes on the column with the screws connecting the holes on the base plate, and tighten the nuts. The same method is used to connect the other column bottom plate to the column. Pay attention to the entire installation process must be handled lightly, and must be used to assemble the gable pad, move the aluminum must lift the entire frame, to avoid aluminum and sand and other items on the ground friction caused by scratching aluminum surface. In addition, the column and bottom plate can be installed first and then the column and Angle node can be installed, and the effect is the same. After assembling all the gables, place ladders (zigzags) next to the bottom plates on both sides of the first gables to install cross rods behind the gables. Prepare screws, wrenches and personnel, and lift the cross rods to the side of the columns for use. The installation of a 15-meter span tent is best to have more than 12 personnel cooperate with the installation, ready to enter the steps of the gable after all the work.

Step 7: The gable wall
All the personnel are divided into four teams, two people pull the wire rope, two people stand at the corner node, the others are standing at the apex, lift the gable up, after lifting to a certain height, the middle personnel respectively run to both sides to help the gable continue to lift up. The man who pulls the wire rope will also pull the gable upward with the force.
When the whole gable is raised to 70 degrees, be sure to stop, and then slowly erect perpendicular to the ground, at this time the person pulling the wire rope, standing on one side with a little force to stabilize the top. At the same time, several people need to hold the post. Install the flat iron end of the cross rod on the screw below the upper end of the column and tighten the nut. Connect the other end of the cross bar to the bottom hole in the bottom plate of the adjacent second gable, insert the screw and tighten the nut. It should be noted that the bottom plate must be fixed in advance, otherwise the bottom plate will move when pulling up the gable. Use the same method to erect the second gable and install the other two crossing poles. The two gables after the cross bar is installed can be completely released

Step 8: Install beams and purlins
The cross section shape of the beam is in the shape of the house, and the cross section shape of the purlin is square. The installation method is as follows, the beam or purlin bend the hook end up, and then tilt the Angle to hang the hook end into the U-shaped lug on the Angle node or the PI iron on the inclined beam. Use a ladder to slowly lift the straight hook end of the beam/purlin and hang it into the lug of the gable beam or corner joint on the opposite side of the hook. Under normal circumstances, there are three beams between the two gables, that is, one at each end, and one at the top of the middle, and the purlin increases or decreases according to the size of the span. Hang all the beams and purlins of the first gear, for example, 15 meters span, need to hang three beams, four purlins. Then pull the wire cable to the first hole of the Angle node, and tighten, tighten the wire rope must be fixed at the upper end of the wire rope, to prevent the rotation of the wire rope when the cable will also follow the rotation. Erection of other gables and erection of beams in the same way. Because the middle gables are not installed with wire cable, it is necessary to tie the top node with rope to pull and stabilize the gables. Beams and purlins must be installed immediately whenever a gable is erected.

Step 9: Install the support
Connect the center stay to the small hole in section A of the inclined beam, insert the screw, and tighten the nut. After the center brace is installed, hang the side beam into the Angle node and the mounting ears of the center brace. Note that when hanging the side beam, it is necessary to install the side beam fittings from the end of the side beam fittings, hang the side beam fittings end into the hanging ears of the Angle node, and then slowly lift the straight hook end, and install it into the hanging ears above the middle brace, remember that the straight hook end cannot be installed first, otherwise the installation will not be successful. As with the erection of beams and purlins, it is necessary to install from the bent hook end first, and then hang the straight hook end.

Step 10: Install the roof
Thread the straps on both ends of the cloth top into the twine and pull the straps toward the inside of the tent. Then the top of the cloth head on both sides of the rubber strip into the slot of the diagonal beam, the other end of the rope from the entire frame of the tent swung across the opposite, and then four people at the same time to the rope, so that the cloth top along the diagonal beam trough slowly pulled to the opposite side. Remember to pull hard at the same time, otherwise the top of the cloth will be stuck and lead to the pull, to solve this problem just pull back the top of the cloth to a certain position and then re-pull hard at the same time, be sure to move forward at the same time. Pull the other cloth tops in the same way.

Step 11: Install the side triangle
With the installation of the cloth top is almost also need to use the rope, but the installation of the side triangle must be someone to stand (with a high ladder) next to the top node to pull the rope, the difference is that the pull of the side triangle is outside. Insert the side triangle into the slot of the diagonal beam, and then the person standing in the middle pulls up to the rope, while the person standing at the corner node needs to help lift the side triangle so that the rubber strip can go up the slot. When installing the side triangle, we must pay attention to the difference between the right and the left, and do not install the opposite. After the two side triangles are pulled, the center seam pipe is slowly threaded upward from the lower end between the two side triangles where the rubber strip is cut off (the center seam pipe has a flat iron piece facing inward). When it reaches the top node, hang the flat iron into the mounting ear of the top node

Step 12: Install the curtain
Open the curtain, the front side (the side with the rope or the side with the cover) facing outward, and first thread the rubber strip into the place where the groove is milled above the post. Then slowly pull up to the top, plug the hanging code into the gap of the beam milling groove, pay attention to one by one, after plugging, the lower end of the curtain rubber strip is also from the column milling groove down into it, and then the curtain to the middle, and the side with the rope behind the side with the canopy ring, the rope is connected from top to bottom.

Step 13: Install the top pressure rod
Insert the cloth top press rod into the press rod sleeve of the cloth top (that is, there is a double layer sleeve at the two ends of the cloth top), and then put the end press iron inside the press rod, and insert the rectangular screw into the seamless tube of the Angle node.
Note: The middle of the top of the two sheets is connected with direct pressure iron. This step can also be performed in front of the curtain installation.

The last step is to insert the curtain pressure rod (1 inch galvanized pipe) into the curtain pressure rod sleeve at the bottom of the curtain to prevent the wind from blowing the curtain.
At this point, the entire installation process is successfully concluded.
