FABRIC TENSIONING

Adjacent top fabric panels are tensioned together
at each upright (leg) of the tent.

As shown at the right, the tension straps of each
catenary tensioning arch interlink through the pull
ring of the adjacent fabric panel (fig. 40). Both
tension straps then join at the top double hook
of a web ratchet strap. The bottom of the web
ratchet strap is then hooked into a slot in the
upright and ratcheted so that the catenaries of
both top panels are tensioned at once (fig. 41).

When tensioning a panel, be sure that it is
secured by the web ratchets on both sides of
the tent before beginning to ratchet either of the
catenaries tight, otherwise the panel may simply
move toward the opposite side.

After the catenary is tensioned, velcro the adja-
cent valances together (fig. 42).
