Prior to installing any tent, always make sure you check for overhead and underground obstructions!
For safe assembly, we recommend:
• Steel Toe Safety Shoes • Hard Hats/Helmets • Safety Gloves
• Utility Aprons • Step Ladders • Drop Cloths
• Cleaning Supplies • Sledge Hammer • Canopy Jacks
ALWAYS READ THE TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE OR THE
MANUFACTURER BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire a professional tent installation company,
always know what's underground. Call 811 prior to installing your tent and make sure your
underground utility lines are marked. It's FREE and helps prevent accidents and/or injury.
STOP
Whenever you install a tent with hardware at -
or above - the shoulders, always wear a hard
hat.
CAUTION
Proper staking is required on all tents. Soil
conditions can vary from site to site and within a
set up site. Additional stakes may be required in
soft soil conditions or whenever stakes pull up
from the ground. Vista Peak-Top Frame Tents
are NOT engineered or wind-rated.
CAUTION
Whenever you install a frame tent, you MUST
use the recommended number of Tent Jacks.
The “Rule of Thumb” is one (1) Tent Jack per
leg and/or tting along the length of the tent.
CAUTION
NEVER pick up a tent from the legs and
attempt to move it to a new location. The Peak
may get close to overhead power lines and
cause injury or death.

1. Inspect the site and make sure the area is level, free of
underground utilities and any overhead obstructions.
2. Unload frame parts and tent bundles. Using the drawings at the
back of this manual, lay out the frame parts according to the drawing,
putting each frame bracket, cables, tubing and baseplates in their
approximate positions.
3. If you are using the 20' wide with Splice -- Pre-assemble the
perimeter tubes. Insert the splice into WHITE tubes and secure with
quick pins.
4. Next, starting at a corner bracket, begin to pin the perimeter of the
tent. Work clockwise and install the perimeter sections in sequence
by connecting the perimeter tubing from one bracket to the next. Work
your way around until the entire frame is complete. NOTE: The Swivel
Brackets should be placed in opposite corners for ease of use.

5. NOTE: It is important to attach the perimeter tubes at an angle. The
top of the tube should lean to the inside.
6. NOTE: On the 10'x10', make sure that the pin / hook faces to
the inside of the frame as shown. It will rip the fabric if turned to the
outside.
8. Next, attach the cross-cables. On square tents, there will be two
cables, there will be four on the rectangle tents. Attach the rst cable
diagonally across the frame, connecting the loop on the end of each
cable to the button on the inside top of each corner bracket. Next
attach the second cable. As you work on the second cable, lift the
perimeter frame corner so that the cable will reach. Lower the corner
and both cables will tighten.
7. At this point, lay a clean, dry drop cloth on the ground.

Attach the small web loops on the top to the standard corner bracket
hooks. NOTE: Attach the top to the two standard brackets rst, then
intermediate brackets (on rectangle tents) and then attach the two
swivel brackets.
10. NO MORE FIGHTING WITH TIGHT FITTING CORNERS!!! With
the swivel bracket connected to the frame, and the swivel leg at out,
hook the small web loop over the metal rod.
12. Lastly, attach the snap pin through the bracket and center arm
to secure the corner. Repeat this process for any remaining Swivel
Corner Brackets.
11. Next, push down on the leg insert to swivel the corner into place.

13. Attach the legs on one side. Lift one side of the perimeter frame.
Insert and pin a leg into each of the exposed corner and intermediate
brackets.
14. Assemble and attach the poke-up rod. To assemble the poke-up
rod for the rst time, remove the end pin located inside the tube. Insert
the pin into the top of the rod and secure. Insert the pulley bar into the
other end of the tube and secure with a bolt.
NOTE: The top pin of the poke-up rod may be inverted into the pole
for shipping purposes. Undo the bolt and pull out the top pin for
installation.
15. NOTE: For the 20'x20', 20'x30' and 20'x40' -- use a round hole.
For the 10'x10', 10'x20' and 15'x15' -- use the rst "oval" hole.

17. Attach the remaining legs. Lift the other side of the perimeter
frame. Insert and pin a leg into each of the remaining corner and
intermediate brackets. Adjust the height of the base plates as
necessary.
NOTE: When lifting large frames we recommend using canopy jacks.
18. Position the tent and straighten each leg. Adjust the baseplate
height for uneven ground. Then, stake each leg using a double
nailhead stake, secured through the hole in the baseplate.
NOTE: Before staking, make sure to check for underground utilities.
20. The Vista is now ready for use.
NOTE: For additional staking, attach guy ropes around corner and
intermediate brackets and tie off to stakes approximately 4' out from
the leg.
For takedown, follow the instructions in reverse.
19. Attach the web and ratchet straps at each corner and intermediate
bracket. Thread the small silver ring and web from the right side of
fabric through the silver ring on opposite side of the tent top. Then,
thread the left side web and ring through the right side. Pull both webs
down and attach an S-hook onto BOTH rings. Attach the other S-hook
on the ratchet to the hole on the baseplate toe. Working around the
frame, adjust the ratchets to tension and secure the fabric around the
tent evenly. Repeat with the remaining webs. Do not overtighten.
