Step 5: Dismantling
For the dismantling of the tent follow the installation instructions in reverse.
The basics of dismantling:
(All fabric panels of the tent must be dry before removing and folding for storage.)
5.1
Remove all wall ground rails.
5.2
Remove the side and gable end walls, lay them on a drop cloth and fold. Return walls to cloth shipping bags
provided.
5.3
At the gable ends, release the gable end web tensioners, remove the tension bars, unlace the gable end panels
and remove onto a drop cloth and fold. Return to cloth shipping bags provided.
5.4
At the mid panels, release the web tensioners, remove the tension bars and pull out the mid panels onto a drop
cloth and fold. Return to cloth shipping bags provided.
5.5
Pull the gable end upright stakes and remove the gable end purlins and uprights.
5.6
Remove upright and roof cables at one end bay.
IMPORTANT:
The cabling in the opposite end braced bay
must remain.
5.7
Install push pole at peak of end arch. While workers stabilize the end arch, remove all roof, ridge and eave purlins.
Lower the arch onto wood blocking to ease pin and bolt removal.
5.8
Continue removing purlins and lowering remaining arches until the last bay (two arches) remains.
5.9
Install the Diagonal Beam Braces as noted in Step 3.2 to secure the first arch and allow the cabling to be removed.
5.10 Once the Diagonal Beam Braces are secure, detach the roof and upright cables at the turnbuckle end. While
workers stabilize the second arch, remove the remaining roof, ridge and eave purlins and lower the second arch.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the pinning end of the Diagonal Beam Brace is slid away from under the bottom of
the second arch uprights to allow clearance for the upright to pivot when lowering the second arch. If the pinning
end of the Diagonal Beam Brace is underneath the bottom of the upright, the upright will be damaged when lower-
ing the second arch.
5.11 While workers stabilize the last arch, remove the Diagonal Beam Braces from the base plate pins at the second
arch and lower the last arch.
5.12 Remove bolts and pins from the arch connectors and disassemble the arch components.
5.13 Remove L-Pins connecting the uprights to the base plates.
5.14 Remove all stakes from the base plates.
5.15 After dismantling, sort and load all building components as best integrates with your transportation and storing
logistics.
5.16 Store fabric in a cool, dry area.
