Canopy tents have been designed
to be set up as quickly and efficiently as possible. They are often used for
various types of events, parties, functions and on camping trips. Setting up
your own canopy tent doesn't need to be a hassle, all you need to do is follow
a simple formula. While the canopy tent you purchased may have its own system
of poles and attachments, every canopy tent generally follows the same basic
formula.
Step 1
Once you have chosen the
location for your function or event, clear away any small rocks and debris
where you want the canopy tent to go. You can then remove your canopy tent from
its casing, make sure to do this slowly and safely.
Step 2
Pull out on one
side of the tent to open the roof and extend the poles. Pull down on the poles
to telescope and lock them into position. Keep your eyes open for metal knobs
sticking out from the holes, this will indicate that the tent poles are locked
into position. Certain poles make the use of lock dials which secure the poles
in place. Turn these dials until the poles are locked into position.
Step 3
Now set the canopy tent on the
ground so the roof is up. Once this is done, secure any rope or guy-lines to
the ground by hammering them with pegs. Make sure each rope goes in different
directions so that the canopy is fully secure against strong winds.
