Did anyone receive instructions on how to set up? We have telephone poles to connect it to. Any great ideas on how to set up and tighten?

no instructions that I recall. I set mine up on 4X4's with a tire and concrete base. found out due to the weight of the net that I need to add some tie-downs on the back side of the poles. Net is heavy and stretching it does not help. I ended up donating mine to a local charity and getting a lighter weight one for our one time a year use.

If u r making it permanent I suggest using 4x6 posts, use ibolts and drill holes thru the post and get boat trailer hand cranks to tighten top cable and a crank for bottom cable. That will be the strongest and best way to do it. Brian men can hang on it and not come down..

You could use large, heavy duty eyebolts(or equivalent) and turnbuckles for tightening. You will probably need to replace the 'crimps' as we found they were inadequate, and quickly failed. Luggage straps with tensioners will help with tightening the vertical side supports. Good Luck!

I bought a tensioning device with the net. Works great but probably could have made one myself. I ran the bottom and top through eye bolts. Then attached to tightener.

It doesn't fit on the telephone poles... You have to use this net to one of these poles like in the picture (http://innovativeathletic.com/assvx1000.html) it is mostly used inside the school gym...

Fabric Covered Bungie Cords work well. There are different lengths and can wrap and adjust the net tightness.

Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)

Yes I have. It is cumberson to use. I have we sties 20 lbs. I can't not seem to adjust it to be short enough. So I use it as best I can but I set the arm pole all the way up as far as possible. It works enough. Not loving it though.

Okay, so we also had trouble but the second time of putting it together I learned some things. First, I learned that taping the poles together made a huge difference. I put the frame work (the top) together, tape the poles (clear packing tape or white duct tape) to the corner pieces, and THEN added the cloth covering. After each corner had the cover down we then (takes at least 2 people) started adding the long leg poles to each corner. It worked out so much better, and was easier, and everything fit! Good luck!

The set up is too easy, just download the app and link it as simple as that.There is a video in YouTube explaining the set up.

Don't know where you can find the instructions. Just don't tighten the pole to tight or it will break.

Sorry for the delayed response. I bought this product over a year ago so I can't remember if there were instructions but I don't recall have issues getting it set up. I did have an issue with trainer even though I haven't used it too much but the company agreed to send me the part I needed.

Just put ours outside. Just followed instructions for setting it up. We will see if it works. (It took one of the dogs in the garage! LOL)

Hi Kelli. It wasn't that hard to set up but took about 2 hours. The directions are pretty well done. My son and I did it together. However, that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. We used it for about 3 weeks and totally fell apart. It is pretty junky. I ended up sending it back in pieces and getting a refund.

We also had difficulty. It took two to extend the legs and one to hold the pole and push down. Hope it extend up to twekve feet high, it never did fot us.

This website has instructional videos on set it up, the videos are better than paper instructions. The other response is right. http://www.loadmastervideos.com/

We downloaded the directions for the coolaroo shade to make sense to us what steps to take. Make sure you leave lots of room for tightening... 4 mos later and ours is still stretching

T. Yuan was right- I'm surprised anyone is using the bike like this or just stuffing stuff in there to make it tighter! that's pretty dangerous.... use the wrench that came with it, or your own wrench to tighten it and make the opening tighter once it's on the pole.

I'm sorry but we never got it assembled. I bought it for grand kids but they are moving so it never got set up. Sorry I could not help.

With the tarp staked, put the pole in the tie out loop and then use two guy lines to stake the pole. These poles are really good, strong, but they are pretty tall even at the lowest setting. To get set up ideas, check out youtube.

Amy, it takes once or twice to figure out easiest way to set-up and take down. After that, my wife and I do it by ourselves. Send me your Email info and I
