Anchor products are of superior design and operate best within the parameters of these instructions. It is imperative
that the instructions be carefully read and COMPLETELY FOLLOWED. Please read installation instructions before the
installation or removal of this product. Installation instructions are available online at www.anchorinc.com or by calling
1-800-255-5552.
CAUTION:
1. For each installation, the installer is solely responsible for evaluating the site and the proper securing method
determined. Some soils require different staking or securing than that provided with the structure. Due to this
variety of soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s
responsibility is limited to the manufacture of the fabric and frame parts and materials. We are not responsible for
methods that installers may choose to erect and secure the structure to the ground.
2. The mounting method suggested in the installation instructions does not necessarily meet all or any relevant codes
on the site of the installation. The method suggested will, in many cases, keep the structure erected, however,
due to various soil conditions; this method may be insufficient to keep the structure secure in high winds. It is
the installer’s responsibility, not the manufacturer, to determine the appropriate method of securing the structure
to meet the necessary wind loads on the site. Regardless of the mounting method we suggest, we make no
representation or warranty as to whether the mounting method suggested will meet the local code. Anchor does
not, nor can it make any suggestions, representation, or warranties about the adequate mounting required at each
specific installation site.
3. Inasmuch as the weather is unpredictable, good judgment and common sense must be incorporated within
installation guidelines. It is the responsibility of the installer/maintainer to determine the severity of the weather,
proper time and method of installation and/or erection and disassembly. Note: We recommend that snow and
ice be removed from the tent surface as soon as possible because accumulation will damage the fabric
or frame structure. Please consult with our Engineering Department about the maximum loads for each
product.
This product has been manufactured for use as a temporary sunshade structure. For the safety of all occupants,
evacuation is recommended if threatening weather occurs, or if there is any doubt concerning the safe use of this
product.
4. Proper safety equipment should be used at all times to insure a safe installation and take down. We suggest a
careful evaluation be made to determine safety equipment needed, such as hard hats, steel-toe shoes, safety
glasses and other as required. It is our desire that all installations are safe. Please be aware of hidden dangers
both underground, i.e., gas lines, water lines, electrical lines, etc. and above the structure such as power lines and
telephone lines.
5. Anchor stands behind its products in accordance with its standard Terms and Conditions of sale. A copy of our
Terms and Conditions of Sale can be obtained by contacting Anchor at the telephone number and/or address on

STEP 5
Using extension ladder, climb to top of pole and
remove nut from pin at top of pole assembly.
Climb down ladder and carry pressure plate, 3/4”
wrench, nut and fabric bundle to top of pole. (Do
Not unroll fabric bundle until it is on top of
pole.) Center hole in top fabric on pin, and let
fabric drop (Figure 5). Line up seams with rafters.
When hole is centered and seams are aligned,
place pressure plate on pin and tighten nut with
wrench.
Fabric bundle
STEP 6
Position 2 persons at end of one of the rafters.
Pull fabric seam off to side of rafter and insert
hook on bottom of fabric in hole on bottom side
of the corresponding rafter (Figure 6). While one
person pulls fabric down, other person should line
up strap to fit between nubs on end of rafter.
Continue this process until fabric is secured all the
way around.

Strap w/hook
at bottom of

Note: Fabric top has been designed smaller
than frame to allow for the taut look of the
Palm. If strap does not reach nubs after pulling, let go of fabric and let top relax for 10 seconds. Then repeat until installed.
STEP 7
You are now ready to raise the rafters. Using
2 persons, ratchet lower hub up in unison.
Persons may be able to stand on the ground until
the hub is raised too high and then step ladders
will be required. (Figure 7)
When hub is ratcheted to its highest point,
retrieve Bolt and Nut and spacers (set aside at
step 4). Install them back into the center pole
as they were prior to lowering the bottom hub.
Figure 6
Come-A-Long
Caution: Bolt/nut & spacers must be installed to
prevent bottom hub with rafters from sliding down
center pole.
You may now remove the Come-A-Longs.
Your funbrella Palm is now ready for use.

IMPORTANT
Proper installation suitable to site conditions is the responsibility of the installer.
For removal of pole, reverse steps 1 through 7 to prevent frame damage.
CAUTION:
When high wind conditions are expected, use Come-A-Longs to lower Funbrella Palm and remove top.
Then either raise frame and insert bolt/nut/spacer assembly to hold bottom hub in place - or - remove
rafters and braces.
FUNBRELLA PALM MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be performed on the frame and top at least once a year.
Frame:
1. Check bolts fastening top hub casting to center pole. Tighten or replace if worn.
2. Inspect condition of top and bottom aluminum hub castings. There should be no cracks in the hinge
ears or excessive wear in the bolt holes.
3. Check flat ends of bows and braces. There should be no breaks in the metal or excessive wear to
the bolt holes.
4. Check all bolts fastening bows and braces to the castings for wear. Lock nuts are to be tightened
so at least one and one half threads are exposed beyond the nut. Over-tightening can result in frame
damage.
Fabric Top:
1. Store fabric top in a cool, dry area. If prolonged storage is anticipated, clean with warm water and
mild soap. Never store while wet or damp.
2. Contact with organic solvents, halogens, cleaning solutions or highly acidic substances may reduce
the service life of the fabric and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT FUNBRELLA PALM NOTICE
WARNING:
Do not install groundsleeve or center pole where they may be in contact with water
from swimming pool or any other body of water.
Fabric should be removed from frame when frame is lowered for an extended period of time. After fabric is removed, either raise frame and insert bolt/nut/spacer
assembly to hold bottom hub in place - or - remove rafters and braces. Accelerated
wear of fabric, rafters and braces will occur if unit is lowered for any period of
time.
The Funbrella Palm Frame and Top are designed for years of extended wear when
these instructions are carefully followed.
