  • Insert the pegs in the arc.
  • Stakes set in the ground. It is not recommended to discard the packaging: in the winter, it will be possible to store the structure in it.
  • Secure the arc and stretch the covering material. Arcs must be installed at the same distance.
  • Secure the ends. To do this, pull off the cord, push the loop into the peg, stretch it and fix it at an angle to the ground.
  • Covering material at the end for increased reliability can be fixed with bricks or heavy stones.
  • Cover covering material with clips on arcs.

The end edges of the covering material, knotted, it is better to press to the ground at an angle. Due to this, additional tension of the cover on the whole frame will be achieved.

  • For fixing the cover only clips are used.
  • Carefully operate the covering material so as not to damage it.
  • Before installation, not only level, but also fertilize the soil.
