POLE SUMMARY - 42 total, 17 swaged, 17 short unswaged, 8 long.
CONNECTOR SUMMARY - 12 total, 6 3-leg, 6 4-leg

1. Sort the poles: 17 short with swage (5'), 17 short without swage, and 8 long (5'-8"). Set the longs aside for awhile.
2. Assemble the 17+17 shorts into 17 really longs, 10 feet. These are the roof poles, both rafters and ridge. Be careful not to use a 5'-8" pole among these.
3. Lay out 17 really longs where you want the canopy. The pattern is rectangular, two grids wide and three grids long. Lay out connectors at each corner and intersection. The end connectors (6 of them) have 3 legs. The middle connectors (6 of these, too) have 4 legs.
4. Connect everything. It is easiest to start on one sides eve, then its rafters, then the ridge pole (down the middle). So far all is still flat on the ground. To do the second side requires lifting the ridge about 3 feet. When done, the ridge pole is a couple of feet above ground. Do not do the leg poles yet. MAKE SURE ALL SOCKETS ARE FULLY INSERTED.
5. Put on the canopy top, using the shock cords. Slip through the grommet first, then wrap around the pole and slip the ball between the cords. Then rotate the shock cord until the ball is adjacent to the grommet, thus locking it in. Use two cords at the corners. Shock cord goes only to horizontal poles: DO NOT TRY TO PUT SHOCK CORD AROUND THE CONNECTORS.
6. You should have 8 long (5'-8") poles left as legs. Get one. Go to one side, near the middle, and lift and insert the pole. Also insert a wooden foot. Then do the adjacent middle, then the two ends.
7. Go to the other side and do the same there.
8. Make sure wooden feet are all ok. Tie things down if you expect wind.
9. Add sides and ends if you want them (and have them).
