The next step has the mounting extrusion can be installed on the baseboard of the tent in a east/west or north/south orientation. This will be determined by the end users installation requirement.
The mounting extrusion has a bolt guide that runs full length of the plank. The bolt guide will hold the head of an 8mm bolt captive. It is a strong method of attachment to roof racks or roof bars.
The top section of the ladder is then attached.
An additional ridge pole is located above the apex point of the tent. The flysheet is supported off the tent with this pole. This is very important as it ensures an air gap between the tent and the flysheet.
This air gap insulates the tent body on a hot day or on a cold night. it also assist in the management of condensation.
The Ball joint mounting hardware for the spreader bar is left until the day of installation of the tent.
