How do I put together an Avid Outdoor Gazebo / Sun Shade
These are for a 9x13 Canopy #1083.  They may be similar to their many other models.

Inside the package, you will find these poles:


4x #1
4x #1b
3x #2
6x #2a
4x #3
4x #3a
4x #4


Connect the #1 &amp; #1b poles together to form 4x4' poles
Connect the #2 &amp; #2a poles together to form 3x6'8" poles (2 - 2a - 2)
Connect the #3 $ #3a &amp; #4 poles together to form 4x6'5" poles

The shorter ones are for the 'Gable'... the canopy.  The #2 poles are the cross-bars for the canopy, and the #3/4 poles are the legs.

Here is what I've found easiest:


Assemble the gable completely upside down.  
Flip it over
Add two legs to one of the 9' sides of the gable.
Drape the fabric over top
Fastening Velcro straps
Attach final two legs
Attach metal hooks at the bottom of the legs. This is the most difficult part.  Patience is required, or you may bend the poles.
Apply stakes to the rings near the bottom of the legs
Apply stakes to the extra nylon-rope stabilizers.
