Layout 120’ x 100’ Century (40’ Mid) 3 Lacing With tent sections on ground, overlap rings at center pole holes with grommet side on top. Starting at end opposite long loop, lace between center pole holes first. Push first loop up through corresponding grommet.
Lacing (cont’d) Continue lacing process. Attach ridge snap to ring as you come to them. (100’ wide tents only) Tie off last long loop. Cover lacing by joining protective flaps using Maxi Grip tool. Secure flap with buckles at top and bottom. Then lace from center pole to eave on both sides of tent. Tie off last long loop. Align plates and attach hook on inside of tent as shown. Attach two guy webs through both plates. Lace all sections of tent.
Alternate for Optional 8” Center Pole Set top weldment in center pole hole and connect to overlapping rings with shackles provided. attach with hitch pin Place assembled pole cap over pipe of top weldment. Attach hinge pin to pipe extending through top of pole cap. Rotate pole cap to align holes in pipes. Note: Pole cap assembly is illustrated on a separate sheet packed with fabric top.
7 Raise Center Poles Important Information to prevent/minmize tent damage prior to center poles being erected. 1. Traditionally, raising all side poles prior to pushing center poles is acceptable, however, during a high wind install, only raise the side poles as needed on the side of the tent that the center poles are being pushed from. This helps to eliminate wind damage. 2.
7 Raise Center Poles cont’d Assemble center poles with base plates. Raise center poles with top pointing downwind. With bottom of center pole in bucket of front end loader, slowly guide top of pole under tent with installers as shown. At center pole hole connect top weldment to pole with bolt, washer, and nut. Continue guiding top of pole to prevent snagging of fabric. Slowly raise top of pole as high as possible by hand while moving forward with loader.
Alternate method using Pole Sled (for use with fork truck or front end loader with pallet fork attachment). Using the pole sled makes it possible to keep the center pole steadily attached to a loader with pallet forks. The tent is still put up in the same manner as already outlined. Connect chain with shackles to loader to prevent detachment. Slide forks into rectangular tubes. Center Pole Pole Sled must be purchased separately.
