5. Slide tent line slips (Figure 10, Item 7) halfway along tent lines (Figure 10, Item 8). Position the tent
lines at a 120 degree angle at the four corners of the roof cap (Figure 10, Item 9).
6. Without adjusting the tent line slips (Figure 10, Item 7), extend the tent lines (Figure 10, Item 8) and
drive a wooden tent pin (Figure 10, Item 10) through each loop, tilted at a 15 degree angle towards
the tent. This will assist in controlling the tent for the rest of the assembly process if there is any wind.
These four tent lines must be attached to tent pins for the rest of the assembly process.
7. Lay out the floor, light side up, inside the perimeter of the frame. Pull any extra slack to the edges of
the tent so that the walking surface is free of wrinkles.
