- I changed my supplier. These tents constantly gave me problems. Now I get all my tents at Budgetshelves.com They have a black heavy duty frame for the same price as these white frames, except the black ones are never defective, and the joints are tough as nails.
Hello- thanks for the video. I just bought this shelter. I can’t get the legs to expand. Any suggestions? Thanks
Omg i didnt even see that nubby. I freaking LOVE YOU
C'mon now. He's self-conscious about his "nubby"...
Do you recommend using WD40 or any lubricant on the hinges etc? Would like to set up by myself and it seems to need 2 people to set up (1 person to hold while other expands the frame out)
lubricant may help you slide things easier slightly. but its all in the technique how you open the tent. i open mine by myself all the time because i make sure only one leg is touching the ground while expanding the tent. if the other legs are touching the ground, it creates unnecessary friction and its harder to open.
Thanks for sharing. Wish I would have watched this first bc I just used scissors and lost the pin😩
Oh darn! Well all hope is not lost. You can perhaps disconnect your entire leg, then take a loooonng skinny pole and try to get that pin to come back out the hole. Otherwise just buy a replacement leg from the supplier of the tent you got it from
My pin isn't visible. We're you able to fix yours or get a replacement leg?
@@traceymayberry996 No I didn't it was too much trouble. So I used a long screw🔩 I would open the tent then pop the screw in the whole. When I take it down I just take the screw out
I'm glad you figured out something that worked for you! Thanks for sharing your work around.
be honest @2:55 you expected to see the utility knife come back out 🧐
Thanks
Thank you great help!
Just set my gazebo up, but the silver ball on 1 leg isn't visible. It was when I started, but I can't see it in the hole anymore. This is the ball that locks one corner of the roof in place. Any ideas on how to fix it? One of the roof supports sags now.
try removing the leg entirely, and sticking something long inside like a broomstick handle and it will push the pin back to the hole area
Have you ever had a tent where the middle of the top won’t click in to hold the roof in place? If yes, how do you fix it?
Hello Heidi, do you have the same style of pop up tent that I have in this video? I talk about the middle tent peg problems at 1:07. The square was stuck inside the top and not able to be freed unless you lined up the square through the hole manually. If this is not what you are asking, could you be a bit more specific
Im having a problem with the peak pole not doing anything when I turn it, I'm not sure why but it's not tightening the roof of the tent anymore
sounds like you have a different type of tent than i do here. mine is spring activated peak pole. perhaps you can pull the pole out of its poke socket and see whats going on wrong with the tightening mechanism. perhaps just shoving a stick permanently in the socket which hosts the peak will help you to make the peak at the height you want.
What is name of part u showing try to fixed I need this part for my canopy but I don't know what is call.
Thats the leg of the canopy. contact your manufacturer to see if they have a replacement leg
Actually the main problem is, that the top i too teight so it is impossible to lock the four corners in place.
perhaps where you bought the tent gave you a defective top with stitching too tight. a fix here would be to pull the peak pole out of the socket of the top of your tent. then take a metal cutting tool such as a hacksaw, or angle grinder and chop off a little bit of the pole. this should shorten the top peak of your tent just enough to help you lock the four corners into place :)
Aww man we tried to get it to pop back out, and the whole thing fell out. Now we don’t know how to get it back in
Sorry to hear! There's probably a way to fix that. Not sure what exactly your problem is if you wanna specify better?
Anyone have any ideas how to fix the crank?
I have no idea what you mean by crank
Mine is stuck it won't lower done the pin seems stuck
try removing the leg entirely, and sticking something long inside like a broomstick handle and it will push the pin back to the hole area
I came into the problem of the push button the the leg of the frame was stuck in like you have at the begining of your video, but the button it self actually slid down i to the leg maybe a quarter inch. Time for a new leg?
You might be able to take a long skinny pole and shove the assembly back to the right position? If I understand your question correctly
ok so what if my silver ball thingy went all the way inside the legs..now what
Connor explained in the comment below. You could replace the leg entirely, or you could detach the leg, then shove a long skinny pole from the opposite direction to bring that silver ball back to the right spot. I’d be careful not to let that happen again!
