Step #11 – Tighten Main Cover on Frame Front To
Back
The main cover is tensioned from front to back by the
rope lacing to grommet flaps inside the main cover,
inside the unit at both front and rear arches. Using the
rope (Part #39) provided, lace the main cover grommet
flap around the main frame front and rear arch pieces.
Start in the top middle of each arch, and lace to each
side. Add rope length by tying pieces together or cutting
as necessary.
Lace all grommets on cover inside flap with rope.
Starting at the middle top point over the door, tighten
lacing only enough to take wrinkles out of the cover.
Repeat for the Rear Arch. DO NOT over tighten lacing to
pull out the grommets.
Begin with the front arch at the top. Pull the rope
through the middle grommet until both ends of the rope
meet. Loosely lace the rope down each side, without
pulling the rope taut yet. Then lace the rear grommet
flap to the rear arch frame the same way. Tie off one
end to the lower frame member. Now go back to the top
again, and start taking the slack out of the rope evenly
along the edges. If necessary, loosen up on the
tensioning pole ratchets so the cover and be adjusted
front to back. Adjust both the front and rear lace rope so
that there is an even amount of material both at the front
arch and the rear arch. Pull only tight enough to get all
excess material out of the main cover over the frame
members. Do not pull so taut that the grommets stress
the main cover flap
After the main cover lacing is adjusted evenly across the
grommet flap, go back and re-adjust the Tensioning
Ratchets along the side edges of the Main Cover. At
this point, the main cover can be pulled taut enough to
take all excess material and wrinkles out of cover. It will
be necessary to repeat this step 2-3 weeks after unit
assembly is complete and main over has a chance to
stretch out over the frame completely.
