Quick Shade Set-Up & Safety Instructions

The Quick Shade Instant Canopy is a portable, lightweight tent that can be taken to the beach, sporting events, picnics and any other occasions you need shade. The Quick Shade canopy unfolds and sets up with no tools needed. When you are done using it, the canopy collapses into a compact size and fits inside a carrying bag for storage. While Quick Shade setup is a fairly straight forward process, you should follow some safety tips.

Instructions

    • 1

      Select a smooth, even area of ground on which to set up the Quick Shade canopy. Do not install the canopy on sloped areas or inclines.

    • 2

      Pull the folded metal frame of out of the storage bag and place the rubber feet on the ground. Grasp the outer two legs on one side and have another person grasp the outer two legs on the opposite side.

    • 3

      Walk backward approximately 4 feet until the frame is fully extended and you feel resistance.

    • 4

      Position the canvas canopy over the top of the metal frame. Locate one of the straps at the corner of the canopy and wrap it around the top part of the nearest leg. Press the strap against itself to secure the hook and loop closure. Repeat the procedure at each of the remaining corners.

      Place your hand at the bottom center of one side of the metal frame where it dips into a "V" shape. Have another person do the same on the opposite side of the frame. Lift up slightly while walking backward until the frame is in a perfect square. Keep your hands away from the hinges as you do this to avoid injury.

      Grasp the black slider lock on one of the corner legs and lift it up until you hear it click into place. In some models there is a button you must push in before sliding the lock upward. Repeat the process on the other three corner locks.

      Walk under the canopy and locate the hook and loop straps on the underside of it. Wrap each strap around the nearest metal pole to secure the canopy to the top of the frame.
