Pick up the side poles for the tent to install them. Pick up
the pole and the fabric. Try to get the tent pin through the metal plate and
through the grommet of the tent.
In order to do that,
we take the pole and
install the pin through the tent and then through the fabric.
Pull this side down.
From there, we are going to stand the pole up and try to get the base of the pole to the predetermined mark on the ground
right over here.
And my partner is going to introduce tension into the web guides in order to hold it up.
So, I am going to take this up.
Swing the bottom of the pole under the tent.
Then, stand it up.
I am going to lean the top out and he is going to pull.
That should be good there.
That should be good there.
We are going to move the bottom of the pole out toward the predetermined mark.
Okay
At every pole position,
you should have a pole pad. A pole pad is nothing more than
a piece of three-quarter inch plywood
cut to six by six or eight by eight.
This keeps the pole from sinking into the ground.
It will go on our predetermined mark.
We are going to lift the pole up onto that pad.
We are going to introduce some tension into the tent.
Okay. Good.
Then, we will do the third one.
Good, now on this side.
