1. Lay the cot cover on the ground, underside (with Velcro) facing up. That way if you need to use your foot to hold the frame steady while assembling, you can.
2. Slide the two short bars through the two short ends of the canvas cover
3. Slide one of the long bars through the sewn long side of the cover
4. Put two corner pieces on each end of the LONG pole and then attach to short poles, making sure that the cover is even and centered. If it is not, one end may be tight and difficult to move when installing last long pole.
5. Lay second long bar between Velcro strips
6. Put last two corner pieces on each end of the LONG pole and then attach to short poles. Placing the corner pieces on the long poles allows more flexibility – on the short poles there is very little give. The long pole may need to be flexed slightly in order to fit.
7. Close the Velcro flap
8. Attach legs to corner pieces
9. Turn cot right side up.

**Why is the cot cover so tight? So that it is less likely to bow or sag with stretching over time.
