1. 

Using the Front Profile diagram in the Quick Start 

section, assemble the four (4) hip rafter pipes. 

Each hip rafter is assembled using one (1) 21" plain 

pipe (#131P021D) and one (1) 63" swaged pipe 

(#131S063D). 

NOTE

: Slide the swaged end of the pipe into the plain, 

non-drilled end

 of the shorter pipe. 

Position the drilled 

ends of all pipes at the end of each pipe assembly.

 The 

holes are used to secure the pipe assemblies to the 

couplers and crown fittings.

2.  Take each hip rafter pipe assembly and attach it to the 

crown fitting. Tighten the mounting bolts.

NOTE:

 Secure the completed pipe assemblies to the 

corner couplers using the 1/4" bolts and nuts.

3. 

Using the Front Profile diagram in the Quick Start 

section, assemble the four (4) base rafter pipes. 

Each base rafter is assembled using one (1) 51" 

plain pipe (#131P051D) and one (1) 63" swaged pipe 

(#131S063D).

4.  Take the corner couplers and the assembled base 

rafter pipes and construct the roof frame of the tent. 

5.  Return to each rafter pipe splice and verify that all 

pipes are seated at the joints.

NOTE:

 Use the 1/4" x 2" carriage bolts and nuts to 

secure each assembly to the crown fitting.

Some couplers may have more than one mounting hole for the 

different rafter pipes.

6.  Using the supplied Tek screws (FA4482B) and the 

nut setter (100441), secure each rafter pipe splice as 

shown above.

NOTE:

 Install all Tek 

screws in a location 

that will not touch 

the main cover 

when it is installed. 

To protect the cover, 

wrap duct tape 

(customer-supplied) 

around the Tek 

screws and pipe 

splice if desired.
