Park Lake Canopy Tent Setup Instructions

The Park Lake Canopy is an excellent shelter for outdoor events, including family gatherings, as well as an auxiliary or kitchen tent for RV and campground camping. The tent sets up and collapses easily into its basic component parts. With some practice it can go up and be taken down quite easily.

Difficulty: Easy

Put Up Your Canopy

Things You’ll Need:

Flat location

Step 1

Choose your location. You want the land where the canopy is set up to be reasonably flat.

Step 2

Separate the parts. There is the main canopy, the canvas side walls, the canopy frame, and the legs.

Step 3

Assemble the canopy frame. Connect the four roof struts to the center piece. Connect the roof supports in a square. Connect the roof struts to the corners of the roof box, completing the canopy frame.

Step 4

Place the canopy itself over the canopy frame. Connect the material to the frame using the attached clips.

Step 5

Attach three legs to one side of the canopy, then place the remaining three legs on the other side. Extend the legs until the canopy is at the desired height.

Step 6

Attach the side material to each of the six legs using the clips. You can now spread this cloth around the four sides of the tent for coverage from bugs and wind.

Tips & Warnings

Work with at least two people to put up the canopy.
