Assembling the Pavilion Base
Start by laying out the pavilion base on a flat, even surface with no sharp objects.
Align the numbered corners and follow the frame's shape, connecting each leg section.
Attaching the Canopy
Once the base is secured, spread out the canopy over the frame, aligning the grommet tabs with the steel frame.
Secure the canopyusing the bungee cords or Velcro tabs provided. Ensure the canopy is taught and smooth across the frame.
Setting Up the Removable Sidewalls
Bunnings Party Pavilions come with optional sidewalls, providing extra shade and privacy.
Attaching the Sidewalls to the Canopy
Start by unzipping the sidewalls and aligning them with the canopy, using the buckles or velcro tabs to secure them.
Work your way around the pavilion, ensuring a snug fit and securement.
Securing the Sidewalls with Stakes and Guy Ropes
Drive the supplied stakes into the ground about a foot away from the pavilion edge, loop the guy ropes through the sidewall tabs, and secure them to the stakes.
Tighten the knots to maintain taut sidewalls, preventing flapping or sagging in windy conditions.
Preparing for inclement Weather
While Bunnings Party Pavilions are designed to withstand light rain, heavy rains may require additional precautions.
Using the Included Raingyz Performance
The Raingyz Performance protects the pavilion from heavy rain by channeling water away from the canopy.
Roll up the awnings, secure the Raingyz Performance, and ensure all guy ropes are tightly fastened.
Considering a Weighted Tie-Down Kit
For extremely windy conditions, consider using a weighted tie-down kit. Weigh down the guy ropes with sandbags or water-filled containers for added stability.
Now that your Bunnings Marquee Party Pavilion is set up and prepared for any weather, it's time to move in your picnic tables, inflatable pool, or catering setup. Enjoy your party, and remember to pack up when you're done! Don't forget to give your tent a thorough clean and dry before storing it away for the next gathering.
