Photos of the Rainy River Walleye Tournament tent being assembled and raised by an exceptional group of volunteers!
The spikes were down and the tent was ready to be assembled before the volunteers arrived.
14 September 2009
Volunteers began by unfolding each section of the roof and setting them togehter to be assembled.
As the panels are unfolded volunteers lace and velcro the pieces together.
After all the roof panels are unfolded, volunteers begin setting up the poles and placing all the necessary pieces around the tent to make set up as easy as possible.
Volunteers working together to make sure every pole, nut, bolt and rope are in place before they begin to lift the sides.
Volunteers pushing up the final edges of the roof!
The outer edge of the tent is the first to go up!
After the outside poles were completed, the center beams were brought in and cranked up to elevate the center of the tent.
After volunteers used a forklift and some man-power to secure the poles for the sides of the tent, now they are ready to be lifted into place.
Volunteers busted out the heavy machinery to help tap the poles into their final position.
