X-Large Shelters Assembly

These shelters come in 7 foot sections and require some assembly. We recommend having two individuals and to plan for approximately two hours, depending on the shelters length. Lay out all the parts prior to assembly. Note the sections with the channel on one side and the sections without it on the other side for positioning. Wait on tightening the bolts completely until after the shelter is fully assembled.
