Primrose 3x10m - Step 3 - Attaching the legs

Step 3 –Attaching the legs
Requires the following parts:
Part 3 – 1920mm galvanised pipe
Part 6 – Foot plate (If you are not fitting the optional ground bar kit)
Part G2 – Corner ground plate (If you are fitting the optional ground bar kit)
Part G3 – 3 way ground plate (If you are fitting the optional ground bar kit)
Part 10 – Bungees
Part 12 - Screws
a) Fit the foot plates /ground plates
Each leg pole (Part 3) should be fitted with a foot plate (part 6) if you are not fitting the ground
bar kit. If you have chosen to fit the ground bar kit, a 3 way ground plate (part G3) or corner
ground plate (part G2) should be fitted.
Use small screws (part 12) to fix the plates in place.
Please note: there are a series of holes at one end of the leg poles (part 3), this end should
go into the ground plate/foot plate.
b) Attach the legs to one side of the marquee
Only fit legs on one side at this stage. You may need 3 people for this stage as the marquee
frame is heavy and needs to be lifted to insert the legs.
Lift the corner of the marquee roof frame and insert 1 leg pole (part 3) with a corner ground
plate (part G2) or foot plate (part 6) into the roof frame connector (part 4). Make sure that the
holes on the leg pole are facing outwards. Fix in place with a small screw (part 12).
Work down the marquee inserting all of the remaining leg poles, if you have chosen to fit the
ground bar kit the poles you need will have 3 way ground plates (part G3) attached. Lastly
insert a leg pole with a corner ground plate (part G2) or foot plate (part 6)
If you have enough people it is easiest to insert all the legs for one side at once, including
the corner legs.
c) Attach the roof onto the frame using bungees (part 10)
Please note: Start with the ends of the marquee to ensure the roof is taut before you attach
the sides. Ensure every eyelet has a bungee through it.
To fit the bungees (see picture overleaf):
Feed a bungee through each eyelet on the roof. Pull the elastic around the back of the pipe and
hook the elasticated loop around the plastic ball. The roof material is quite heavy and tough, it
may be easier to pull the roof fabric taut (and to make sure that it is in the right place) whilst
attaching the bungee cord to prevent the bungee from being over-stretched and potentially
snapping. It is particularly important to do this at either end of the marquee, especially for the
8m and 10m lengths.
