Kwik Kamp angle kit ship date after tent is made or tent measurements received is usually two to three weeks, especially during the peak selling season August - October.

Hunter angles (120 degrees) ship 1-2 days after ordering. Hunter angles that are not 120 degrees ship within 1 week of ordering as these angles have to be made.

Materials Provided: Angle kits are constructed out of 1 1/4" inside diameter galvanized steel tubing.

Materials Needed: To complete your frame you will need one-inch EMT (electrical) thin wall conduit, which has an outside diameter slightly less than 1 1/4 " , that can be purchased at any hardware store. Electrical conduit sleeves inside of the 1 1/4 " inside diameter of the frame angle tube for a perfect fit.

A - Wall height B - Rafter/slope (top of sidewall up to ridge) C - Width D - Length of tent

Recommendation New Tents: On new tents I recommend that you reduce your rafter lengths 2% and tent length dimensions and tent legs by 1% to allow for canvas shrinkage which is normally 1-3%for new treated canvas tents. If you do not allow shrinkage, after your canvas shrinks you will have to cut down your rafter and tent lengths to avoid putting too much pressure on your zipper and seams.

RECOMMENDATION: DETERMINE ALL YOUR CUT REQUIREMENTS FOR LEGS AND TENT LENGTHS BEFORE CUTTING CONDUIT AS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE ON CONDUIT IF YOU USE ONE PIECE OF CONDUIT FOR BOTH A LEG AND A TENT LENGTH.

RECOMMENDATION: REMEMBER THE OLD SAYING "MEASURE TWICE AND CUT ONCE"

NOTE: If R or Ridge is marked on angles the angles are for the RIDGE only.

Legs: Deduct 1" from the A (wall height) dimensions for angle taking 1" of wall height. Deduct leg length 1% for shrinkage on new tents.

ONE piece legs:

• Porch kit 2 rafter - cut 4
• Porch Kit 3 rafter - cut 6
• 3 rafter angle kit - cut 6
• 4 rafter angle kit - cut 8
• 5 rafter angle kit- cut 10
• 6 rafter angle kit- cut 12

Rafters: Deduct 2" from the B (rafter) dimensions. (This 2" deduction is due to the angles taking 2" of the rafter length, it is not a shrinkage reduction. Deduct rafter length 2% for shrinkage on new tents.)

ONE piece rafters:

• Porch kit 2 rafter - cut 4
• Porch kit 3 rafter - cut 6
• 3 rafter angle kit - cut 6
• 4 rafter angle kit - cut 8
• 5 rafter angle kit - cut 10
• 6 rafter angle kit - cut 12

For two piece rafters you will need to purchase optional sleeves (Porch - 4,
3 rafter- 6, 4 rafter- 8, 5 rafter- 10, 6 rafter- 12).

Tent length:

" Zinc coated (gold color) steel angles", deduct 2" from total ridge length because the two end angles take up a total of 2 inches of space.

No deduction needed on ridge length for "galvanized steel angles" taking up space- use exact D (length of tent) dimension and then deduct for shrinkage factor.

Deduct tent length 1% for shrinkage on new tents.

Tent lengths, cut requirements, after you have deducted for angle space requirements (if necessary) and tent shrinkage factor

• Porch kit 2 rafter-cut 3
• Porch kit 3 rafter- divide porch length by 2 and cut 6
• 3 rafter angle kit-divide tent length by 2 and cut 6
• 4 rafter angle kit - divide tent length by 3 and cut 9
• 5 rafter angle kit - divide tent length by 4 and cut 12
• 6 rafter angle kit - divide tent length by 5 and cut 15

To make two-piece tent lengths you will need to purchase optional sleeves (Porch-4, 3 rafter-6, 4 rafter-8, 5 rafter-10, 6 rafter-12).

Mark all leg, rafter, and tent length sections to make assembly easier.

Frame Assembly:

• Click Tent Set Up Instructions for frame assembly.

If your tent fits tight over your frame:

• Do not force the tent over the frame.
• Either your tent lengths and/or rafters are too long.
• You must reduce the tenth lengths and rafters lengths accordingly, otherwise you will damage the zipper and weaken your seams.
• If your zipper is tight, reduce rafter length.
• Remember, your new tent will shrink 1-3% after it gets wet.
