SITE PREPARATION
Select a level or as close to level as practical location for
your MDM Products Party Tent. The unit should be placed
on a base for the intended use, usually grass or soft
surface. The unit should not be located under trees, which
will shed hard fruit such as apples, walnuts, or heavy pine
cones. The cover of your unit will protect against light
leaves or debris, however large branches or other falling
items may cause puncture or tears in the cover material.
Take notice of drainage both around your intended
location. Water draining from the surrounding terrain
should be planned so that it does not run into the unit.
Check to be certain that adequate clearance is allowed for
entry and exit from ends of unit. Party tent should not be
installed close to buildings or other obstructions that would
prevent exit in the event of an emergency.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
Read the complete instructions guide before starting to
assemble party tent. Familiarize yourself with each of the
component parts. These are itemized for easy
identification. Some parts are similar and vary only in
shape or size so be sure you use the correct ones where
stated.
Identify the leg poles (items #1 & 2), these are the shortest
of the 4 types of pole and all have pre-drilled holes at the
bottom for securing the feet plates. There are 4 corner leg
poles (#2) that have additional holes, which will be used
for attaching the roof cover to the legs with the use of the
attached “S” hooks.
Insert the leg poles (#2) into the white plastic feet plates
(#12) so that the holes align with the corresponding ones
in the feet. Use a hex bolt (#14) with a washer (#15) and
pass it through the aligned holes. Use one more washers
on the threaded side of the bolt as needed. Use a lock nut
and tighten. Do not over tighten and damage either
upright leg or plastic foot. Repeat for all legs and place
aside until needed.
Lay out all the parts as shown in the Frame Diagram so
that they are roughly in their correct places. There are 4
different types of connector (#5, 6, 7, & 8): those with a
sharp bend (#7 & 8) which connect the leg poles to the
rafter (#4) and cross poles (#3); those with a shallow bend
(#5 & 6) that connect the rafter & cross poles at the ridge
of the tent. These connectors are then in either 3 or 4 way
types; the 3 way connectors of both types (#5 & 7) are to
be used at each end of the party tent.
