Hi,  At www.PartyTentCity.com  we sell a modular tent kit. When you buy a 20 x20 tent this year and next year you want it larger like 20x30  you can just order more parts and never waste a part.
I have models from 10x10  to 40x60 including 10x20, 10x30, 20x20, 20x30, 20x40, 30x40, 40x40, 40x50 and 40x60. Below is as diagram of a 20x20 party tent that sells for $243.75. It is the least expensive model with no valance and no sides. Sides
are available at a slightly higher cost.
This kit does not include the 1" EMT electrical conduit pipe which is too heavy to ship. You would buy that in the electrical department at Home Depot in your city. The number of pieces needed at the top of each diagram.  Click here to see over 100 easy to tarp and tent items in my

Connectors and Fittings. You can order by part number. http://www.partytentcity.com/dura/fittings.html 
Customers Tents

 
1. TARPS: Tarps are sold as a cut size. The printed  finished size 'foot print' is always  about 1 to 3% smaller than the cut size. Allow for tarp frame width reduction when using peak hardware.

2. TOOLS NEEDED: Screw driver or big nail, hammer, hack saw,  step ladder or chair, patience, , a good friend and a cell phone to call Brian 713-467-3025 when you have questions. 

3. INVENTORY: Check to see that all of  the boxes in the shipment have arrived including the tarp, the hardware, the foot pads and the bungees. The boxes will be marked 2 of 3 etc.    Order your tent well in advance and  inspect it completely immediately on arrival. Check your diagram to be sure how many fittings are being shipped in your order. Many parts look almost the same.  All fittings have a identifying sticker tag which will match a point on the diagram that will come with your tent.  If you have lost your diagram you should be able to find one on the Party Tent City. COM  web page.
 


4. TARP SIZE: Open the tarp in a large clean flat area. Measure the tarp exactly. This does not mean to read what is on the label. Use a big tape measure. With a felt pen write the exact size on all the corners of the tarp with arrows pointing the direction of the size. Even If it is  a square tarp use a felt pen to make an arrow and a size so you will  use it correctly in building your tent.  The cut or ordered size can be about 1-3% larger that the finished size.
A square tarp will not be exactly square. Tarps made overseas are not  priced as you would for surgical steel. Measure it even if it has a printed size. 99.9% of the time the finished size printed is NOT what you get. Use a tape measure.
The manufacturer will only be in the  ballpark. Your frame needs to be exactly built to the size of your tarp. That is why we can not tell you exactly what size to cut each metal pipe section of your tent.
Your hardware is adjustable down to an fraction of an inch by cutting the pipe and using the expandable space within the connector fitting to increase or decrease you tent size. .
The tarp is not adjustable unless you  buy a grommet kit for $9.00. We do NOT open new tarps and measure
them prior to shipping. They would look used.

5. TRUSS SIZES:  On the inside truss pipe you would deduct 8” instead of the 6” because  of  the way the pipe  meets the hardware tarp fitting.  If you are adding sides some of the tarp sections will be hung with 6" ball bungees and the 9" will also be used  when going around the fittings or the corner. The tarp should just touch the edge of the pipe so the 6" ball bungees should be long enough.
The bottom of the  right triangle horizontal to the ground  will be smaller than the roof part of the triangle.

The last  piece you cut in the truss is the vertical strengthening piece that  is inside the  big triangle to make two right triangles. The size is determine by trial and error as you lay it out on the ground. Usually all pipe should be cut with the peak exactly in the center so that all of  the lower connections will line up.

Assemble all of  your trusses at one time so you can visually see them side by side. ALL TRUSSES SHOULD BE IDENTICAL.  After this is done  you can assemble two trusses to make the first section of your tent.  Keep several step ladders handy to rest the frame if you are short of help.

6.FITTINGS:  All fittings allow the pipe to be seated at different positions. Some fittings do not allow the pipe to go to the end. The fitting pipe may be welded over another pipe. Double check your measurements after you cut your pipe and adjust the pipe with the locking bolts. A little  shorter pipe allows you to move the pipe either way inside the fitting so it lines up identically. An exact cut pipe does not allow you any adjustment room.

7. THE TRUSS TRIANGLE. In a right triangle "A" squared  plus " B "squared = C squared. The tent angle is 12 degrees. The horizontal reinforcing pipe in the triangle will be shorter than the opposite roof  peak pipe in the triangle. Pipe can be adjusted in the fitting and secured in place with the locking bolt. If you are using an oversized tarp like a 20x 24 size on a 20 ft. frame you can seat the bottom part of the triangle all the way in but the upper part of  the triangle will not be inserted all the way into the end of the connector so as to extend the peak pipe longer than 10 ft by using the 3" of extra space in each port of each fitting. This is why you don't have to cut the pipe to make the length different if you purchased an oversized tarp.
The connector adjustment area helps make a 10 foot pipe actually about 10 1/2 feet so the bottom pipe does not have to be cut. If you do not have an oversized tarp this method will not work so you will have to cut all the pipe sections in the truss.


8.THE FIRST 2 TRUSSES.
After all trusses (roof triangles) are built exactly the same, assemble the frame with the full 10 ft. expanding  sections between the trusses.  You can lay the first triangle flat on the ground and insert all of the 10 ft pipe in the open ports. Be sure your locking bolt is unscrewed so the pipe will seat against the end of the connector and not against the bolt hanging down. Lock the pipe down by tightening the eye bolt so the pipe doesn't fall out when you raise up the frame. When you tilt the structure over you will be able  to attach the 2nd truss. Lock these pipes by tightening the eye bolt now so it doesn't fall out when you raise it up.

 9.  TRUSSES 3, 4, ETC.: When you  have the first 2 trusses connected and up you can inset the 10 ft sections of pipe in the completed section and then add the 3rd truss. Be sure the first two have weight on the foot pads to counter balance weight of the pipe until the 3rd section of the support legs. When you are ready to attach the last truss you  will have to be cut the 10 ft pipe so that the final edge of the  tarp just touches the pipe. Do this with a tape measure since you know the exact length of the tarp.  

10. WHEN TO ATTACH THE TARP.  Only on 10 ft wide tents can you attach the tarp to the roof frame while it is on the ground.  Anything larger than that requires that you assemble the frame and adjust the frame with the locking bolts. Bolts should be snug.  Do NOT exert extra pressure on the bolts as it could strip them and then they won't be able to lock the frame down.
 The tarp should be snug touching the frame and not stretched. The larger tents should be assembled with one section at a time placing the tarp over the  frame only when the frame is completely built and re-measured to be sure that it will meet the pipe  exactly the way it should.

11. WIND: You want plenty of help so the wind doesn't grab the tent as a kite until you can get it locked down securely. Ropes can be used to  pull the tarp over the frame. Extra ladders of different sizes on the work site are always helpful. Once you get the first section up you have to get to the top of the tent to tighten the locking bolt. 

12. SUPPORT LEGS:  The support poles are usually  6.5 to 7.5 ft. unless you absolutely need a higher covered area. If you are using side tarps the support poles may have to be about 3 inches longer due to the position of the foot pad. A side tarp hardware usually goes just  above the top of the foot pad. The higher your support poles the more you expose your  tent to the wind.  All tiny pieces in the truss triangles can be the pieces left over from cutting the support legs.

13. NO FOOT PADS.
When you want your side tarps to go all the way to the ground you have to order Not-Thru Valance fittings that allow  you to attach the side tarp to the  frame which sits on  the ground eliminating the need for  ordering the footpads. This is a little harder to install than a tent on foot pads because it has to be very exact.

14. ATTACHING FOOTPADS: Attach the foot pads to the poles before you attach the support legs to the frame. Position all support poles about where you will need them when you start to raise the frame. Insert the support pole into the down piece of the frame triangle. Lock the pipe down so it doesn't fall out when you raise it up.

16.ATTACHING THE TARP TO THE FRAME: When your frame is  rock solid you can tie ropes to the tarp and slide it over the  frame or hand it over using stepladders. If you have cut your pipe correctly  you should use mostly 6" ball bungees .
19.  PIPE LENGTH.  When a customer first gets his tent  the question always comes up on how many of the 10 ft pipe have to be cut. In general most of them  have to be cut. Because no 2 tarps are exactly the same I will NOT be able to tell you how  long to cut the pipe. You will  cut a lot less pipe if you order an over sized tarp for a 20 ft wide tent.

22. WIDER TENT. If you are buying a tent with a valance or sides you can purchase a oversized tarp like a 24x20 on a 20x20 tent,  a 24'x30' tarp on a 20x30, and a 24x40 on a 20x40 tent, you  will have a larger footprint or over all size of the tent.  Because the wider tarp will be used to make a valance without shrinking the size of your tent which occurs when you lose footprint size because of
 A.  Tarps are not as big as they say they are.
B. The 12 degree incline use up.

C. The Valance uses up some of the tarp.
The oversized tarp allows you to cut less pipe on 20 ft models. The oversized tarps 12 ft wide are also available for the 10 ft wide tent models.


24.  VALANCES. Valances  are handy in that they slide up and down the support pipe and keep the top tarp tight.  A valance will make your tent stronger, look nicer and help you to keep the roof tarp adjusted taut. If your tarp is NOT taut and has a loose area where rain water may pocket it could bend the pipe and collapse the tent.  

26. PONDING.
:One of the problems you  should really watch out for is a loose roof tarp.  If the tarp is  not tight it  will pocket, pond water, collect and store water. If your tarp will be unattended and up for a long time we suggest you purchase additional trusses so that the opportunity for the tent to pond water will be significantly reduced. This reduces the roof span area from a 10x10 space to a 5x10 space. This makes it about 3 times stronger. You do not want have a problems with  accumulating rain.  You  do not have to have a supporting leg under the additional truss. It is recommended that as soon as you  are almost finished with the roof tarp that you take the garden hose to the top of the tent and let water run down over the tarp. If it starts to collect and does not run off then you need to adjust the tent so the water does not collect on the roof of the tarp.   Consider color coding your pipe to help you set up your tent the next time. It will be a lot easier if you use our color coded tape.

Keep your tarp taught (tight). Water Ponding, 'puddling' and pocketing with loose tarps on tents can cause your tent to be loaded with water and cause your tent to  collapse.  On long term set ups  we highly recommend extra trusses which triples the strength  by reducing the fabric span from 10 ft span to 5 ft.
