Alternate method using Two loaders

Having two loaders available can make installation faster and easier.

For the 100’ tent, using the same method mentioned above, the two center poles can be raised simultaneously without the
requirement of setting the baseplates 10’ from fi nal vertical position.

For the 120’ tent, the two short poles may be raised simultaneously to slant and staked. Connect and the long center pole to
top weldment, then raise the short poles to vertical simultaneously. Slowly raise long pole and stake.

Assemble center poles with base plates. Raise center poles with top pointing downwind. With bottom of center pole in bucket
of front end loader, slowly guide top of pole under tent with installers as shown.

At center pole hole connect top weldment to pole with bolt, washer, and nut. Continue guiding top of pole to prevent snagging
of fabric. Slowly raise top of pole as high as possible by hand while moving forward with loader.

Set base plate down approximately ten feet from center pole position previously marked. Drive two 30’ stakes through holes
in plate.

Repeat with other poles. Placing bottoms of poles at locations previously marked. When in position, drive four 30” stakes
through holes in base plate.

Reposition fi rst pole to vertical position and stake.

With 120’ tent, raise a short pole to a slant and stake. Connect long pole (of same set) to top weldment. Do not raise. Raise
other short pole (of same set) fully and stake.

Then raise long pole and stake. Repeat for other set(s) of center poles.
