Below is an instruction on how to erect a pavilion. The description is based on our pavilions, but certainly works on others of about the same type.

Planning the site
The first thing to do is to look over the place where the pavilion is to stand. Then decide which direction the pavilion should have and check if there are any obstacles in the way.

Laying the roof
Lay out the roof covering so that it covers the area where you want your pavilion. around you put out wall posts, ropes and tent nails. Place at least one tent post in every "hole" Save some extra ropes and tent nails to use as stretch lines

Now it's time to raise the first corner. Choose the corner that is most important, most of the time towards the market street or the site you prioritize in terms of placement. Knock down three tent nails; one in each direction of drag about 1-1.5 meters from the place where the first tent post comes. Insert the tent post through the reinforced holes of the roof and place the post where you want your outer corner. Thread all three ropes over the top of the tent post and stretch so that it stands firm.

A straight gable
Then continue with at least every other tent post along the entire short side / gable on the tent Look carefully at the direction and make sure that the gable gets exactly the direction you want it to have. To get the gable stretched you have to put extra rope along the gable in the same direction as you build. This also means that you can work with stretched fabric at all times. These extra ropes are removed 9x5 meter medeltida Paviljongwhen you are done with the second gable corner. Make sure the 2 tent lines & nails that hold corner posts are firmly in the ground.

The long sides take shape
Now it is time to continue with the long sides. Take one tent post at a time, first starting closest to the gable you have traveled and work your way to the next gable. Insert at least one tent pole in every other hole and work with stretch lines along the long side direction. First put a post in the front and then one in the same place in the back, then work parallel front and back along the entire long sides. out in some direction.  

The last gable
When you have reached the last corner stops and secured them in both directions, it is an easy job to get the final gable ready. Now you can also remove any extra stretch lines.

Raising the cam
first First screw together any jointed center posts and make sure they are seated properly. Loosen the ropes on all four earpieces so that they sit very softly and the headrests fall inwards. Take a firm grip on the center post and be sure to prick the hole first when you raise the roof. Make sure it is straight. Repeat the same procedure on any other center posts. Once the center post is erected, you can once again make sure the corners are tight and standing well.

The rest of the tent posts and control of stretching
Look through the rest of the existing tent stacks so that the tent is well stretched and at the same time put up any other tent posts you have been expecting. Not all wall posts need to be used, but at least every other. Check carefully how the slope becomes at the corner posts. If the ground is a little uneven or if it is raining a lot, it can be an advantage to lean down the corner posts internally so that a clear case is formed at the corners. This is the most sensitive point and the place most likely to form puddles on the roof. If a puddle is formed, never use hands, sticks or anything else to push the tent to push the puddle away. Instead, lean down the stick that is closest so that a natural case is formed where the water can run off. In the event of rain, ropes should also be checked and re-tightened once they have become wet.
