Step 7 - Fabric Tensioning
•
At back of pavilion, snap buckles of back-end straps to corresponding buckles at bottom of mids. Insert bottom hook into
slot at back of upright. Tighten just enough so that hook does not fall out of slot. (Figure 7a)
•
At front of mids, insert tension tubes into pockets under curtain. Between mids, use a tension tube splice to connect
tubes. (Figure 7b) Before insertion, hang tension strap with ratchet and hook over the tension tube splice. At ends, hang
tension strap over end of tension tube as shown in Figure 7c.
•
Insert hook of tension strap into slot in front upright. Crank ratchet until tension strap stays in place but do not tension.
Check mids to be sure they are all pulled to the same point in front and back. Check back end straps to be sure they are
tightened uniformly. When you have checked these things, you may now ratchet the front tension straps. Tighten until all
mids are uniformly snug.
