Option 1
: Assemble on grass or dirt. Secure the
canopy to the ground by inserting 8 ground stakes (S)
through each base plate (K).
Then tie the nylon strap (T) to each corner of the
canopy roof (M) and secure the 4 remaining ground
stakes (S).
Option 2:
Canopy must be installed on a firm level surface,
regardless of surface type. To ensure safe use of this canopy, install
foot plates permanently into poured concrete blocks or railroad ties
or similar using suitable bolts.
Instructions for Installation into Concrete:
Note
: Expansion bolts for installation into concrete are included.
1. Canopy must be installed on a firm, level surface.
2. Concrete should be at least 4 in / 10 cm thick and properly cured.
3. Assemble the canopy per the enclosed instructions. Using a
marking pen, mark the location of the holes for the 8 foot plates
where you want the canopy installed.
4. Once the locations of the holes are marked, move the foot plates
aside. Using a ¼ inch concrete drill bit, drill pilot holes for one foot
plate. Once pilot holes are drilled, use a ½ inch concrete drill bit
and drill to a depth that is the same length as the expansion bolt.
Make sure the threaded bolt sticks out of the concrete.
5. Place the expansion bolts into the holes that were just drilled.
6. Reinstall the foot plates on each post and place foot plate over the
expansion bolt.
7. Recheck the locations of the holes previously marked for the
remaining foot plates to ensure all holes are in alignment.
8. Install washers, lock washers and nuts.
9. Do not fully tighten each bolt on each plate. Alternate gradual
tightening of all bolts on the plates until all plates are fully secured.
