2 Pole Marquee User Manual CONSTRUCTION INSTRUCTIONS - for Pull Up and Push Up Pole marquees are available in a variety of spans, from approx 3.5m to 18m wide. They are built in modular sections called bays which are available in either approx 3m, 4.6m or 6.1m lengths, these extend the tent to the required length. The Fabric covers are usually Fire retardent canvas, Polycotton blends or PVC coated Polyester: Fire retardent to BS 5867, European and American standards. UV stable, Bacteriacide and Fungicide treated. The roof covers have a lace and eye joins to link them together. These have a weather flap to the top edge. The covers are supported on ridge poles on Traditional Pole Marquees which are in turn supported on king poles. For Tension or Petal Pole Marquees there is no ridge pole. They are then tensioned to the eave poles by guy ropes. Walling panels are laced together and supported by hooking rope loops onto hooks on the roof covers; these are then pegged down with wooden pegs. Lay Out Marquee Plan A, below, shows a Layout Example for a 15m x 12m Pole Marquee. Identify the area on which the tent is to be erected (must be a soft surface to allow the steel pegs to be driven) and mark the outline on the ground with a string line. It is best to pull the tent up into the wind. Lay out the pegs, poles and ropes on the ground in such a way that reduces the amount of double handling, i.e. as close as possible to the final position. When deploying push up construction technique it can be useful to push the spikes of the king poles into the ridge poles poles first and square off as these give an easy indication of where subsequent items should be. 15m x 12m POLE HOIST MARQUEE PLAN A cowl guy ropes MAIN GUY ROPE 7m king pole 3m RIDGE POLE = IRON STAKE + TACKLE = IRON STAKE + SIDE LINE ridge pole lifting tackle King pole Measure out and drive the steel pegs into the ground in the positions indicated on the plan, approx 1.5m (5 ) outside the line of the tent.

** Tie off the guys to the Back stakes to ensure the poles don t pull right over.

Step 2 Lacing Roofs Pull the tent roofs between the poles, and, using the shackles provided lock onto the lifting tackle. Tie the tops of the roofs together preparatory to lacing up.

Ensure the falls of the tackles go through the same hole in the canvas as the King poles, tie off underneath the roof.

Pull the Lifting tackles from under the canvas until the ridge poles meet the cowls, by which time the ropes will be becoming taut.

4 Pull Up - Pole Marquee Construction Method Step 1 Step 1 Lifting King Poles Create a crutch for the bottom of each pole using a stake and couple of pegs to stop it slipping Bolt on the lifting tackles to the cross at the top of the pole and pull over the cowls, ensuring the spike on the pole is through the eyelet in the cowl. Push the guy ropes and soft ridge onto the spike. ** Tie off the guys to the Back stakes to ensure the poles don t pull right over. Lift up the king poles, then push / pull them to a vertical using the 2 front guys, tie off using a round turn and two half hitches. Step 2 Lift the King poles into the bale rings of the ridge. Step 2 Lacing Roofs Pull the tent roofs between the poles, and, using the shackles provided lock onto the lifting tackle. Tie the tops of the roofs together preparatory to lacing up. Use the tackles to lift the ridge pole to about 1.5m high. Lace the roofs together. Ensure the falls of the tackles go through the same hole in the canvas as the King poles, tie off underneath the roof. Step 3 Install Wall Poles & Sidelines Pull out the roofs with the wall poles and tackles on the lace points and corners. Pull each pole vertical. Pull the Lifting tackles from under the canvas until the ridge poles meet the cowls, by which time the ropes will be becoming taut. Square up the tent and king poles, put in the rest of the wall poles on the sidelines. Go back to the original tackle ropes and wall poles and straighten / tauten them up. Step 4 Install Wall Poles & Sidelines Step 3 Select where your main entrance is going to be and hook the loops / eyes on the top edge of the wall onto the hooks on the roof.. It is easier if one person goes around and hooks up every 10 or so and someone else follow them to fill in. Lace the panels together and peg down with wooden pegs twisted into the rope loops. Step 3 Step 4 Inspect the tent and effect any necessary steps to make it secure. Address: 1 St Katharines Road, Caterham, Surrey, CR3 6ST.

6 Push Up - Pole Marquee Construction Method Step 1 Prop King Poles Make a crutch at the base of each King Pole with 3 stakes. Put ridge poles (if used) onto King Pole spikes. Lift the pole and ridge up and prop them onto a suitable support (eg Trestle). Step 2 Lace Roof Fabrics Pull the canvas section over the ridge pole, pulling the large eyelets and D Rings onto the king pole spikes in turn, lace together, tying off at the bottom with a slip knot. ** Tie off the single guys to the end stakes, and tie off the double guys to the Back stakes (ie. In the direction toward which the poles are pointing) Step 3 Lift King Poles Lift the top of the king poles up about 2-3m and prop onto a blunt ended pole where the king pole meets the ridge. An inverted wall pole is suitable here. Select a suitable wall pole, tie the double guys onto the Becket eye of a block and tackle and put the pole spike into the Becket eye. You can then use this as a lever. Pull the tent up with a block and tackle until the poles are vertical. Step 4 Install Wall Poles and Sidelines Pull the tent out with the wall poles and tackles on the lace points and corners. Square up the tent roof fabrics and poles and put in the rest of the wall poles on the sidelines. Recommend working at opposite ends to avoid pulling the tent over at this stage. Step 5 Install Wall Fabrics Select where your main entrance is going to be and hook the loops / eyes on the top edge of the wall onto the hooks on the roof. It is easier if one person goes around and hooks up every 10 or so and someone else follows them to fill in. Lace the panels together and peg down with wooden pegs twisted into the rope loops. Inspect the tent and effect any necessary steps to make it secure.

Pole Marquee Lining Installation Take the lining ridges

ridge to the whole length of the tent, velcroing them

7 Pole Marquee Lining Installation Take the lining ridges and link them together using the connectors supplied along the centre line of the tent. Tie the trailing rope of the lining tackle onto the ridge at approximately 3m centres. Raise the lining ridge to about 1m from the ground and tie the other end to the eave. Tie the ridge line of the lining roof sections onto the ridge to the whole length of the tent, velcroing them together and ensuring the gable end triangles are in position. Pull the lining ridge up to eave height (approx. 2.4m) and tie off. Tie the lining joins onto the wall poles at the top of the uprights with a bow. Pull the lining ridge up until the lining is taut. Hang the wall linings onto the hooks on the roof of the tent (as with the side walls).
