Party tent 5×8 m – setup
How to put the tent up and take it down. Did you add setup and take-down? Then we handle all of this and you don't need to do anything.
Before you start
- Check the forecast. The tent is not put up if the average wind is above 10 m/s or gusts are above 15 m/s.
- The area must be flat and firm, at least 6 × 9 m, with 3 m of clear height free of branches, gutters and wires.
- Clear away stones, branches and anything sharp so the cover doesn't tear.
- Get help. Lifting the roof frame takes at least four people.

Step-by-step setup
- Lay all poles and corners out on the ground as shown in the drawing above.
- Assemble the rafters: a long pole (2) and a short pole (1) joined with a connector (4). The long pole goes towards the eave and the short one towards the ridge.
- Push the assembled poles into the corners so the whole roof frame lies assembled on the ground. The 110° corners (5 and 6) go on the long sides and the 140° corners (7 and 8) on the ridge in the middle.
- Lift one long side and push the legs (3) into the corners on that side.
- Pull the roof cover over the frame and tie it securely.
- Lift the other long side and insert the remaining legs.
- Hang the side panels and fit the end panels.
- Secure the tent with the fixings supplied, then walk around and check that every joint is firm and the cover is well tied.
During the party
- No open flames, grills or gas heaters inside the tent. Our electric heaters are fine.
- If the wind goes above the limits, take your guests out and take the tent down. Not sure? Call +354 778 8817.
Taking down and returning
- Remove the side panels and end panels and fold them.
- Release the fixings, lift one side and take out the legs on that side, then the other side.
- Untie the roof cover and take it off the frame. Then take the frame apart.
- Shake grass and dirt off the covers and put everything back in the bags. Is the cover wet? Let it dry if you can, otherwise just let us know.
