Learn how to easily attach the Alpine Tent Cover Add-On to your Avenlur indoor climber for a cozy play fort. Step-by-step installation guide with common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Installing the Alpine Tent Cover Add-On takes about 10 minutes with no tools required. The fabric canopy and curtain system clips directly onto your existing Alpine climber frame to create an enclosed play fort.

Before You Start

Make sure your Alpine climber is fully assembled and stable. The tent cover add-on is designed exclusively for the Alpine model, so it won't fit other climbers.

Lay out all components: the canopy, side curtains, and attachment clips. Check that nothing is missing before beginning.

Installation Steps

1. Attach the canopy clips: Snap the fabric canopy's clips onto the top horizontal bars of the Alpine climber. Start at one end and work your way across to distribute the fabric evenly. Common mistake: clipping all corners first can cause wrinkles. Work from one side to the other.
2. Drape and adjust the canopy: Once all clips are attached, gently pull the canopy fabric to remove any sagging or bunching. The canopy should lie flat and taut across the top of the climber. Checkpoint: ensure the canopy doesn't droop into the climbing area where it could obstruct movement.
3. Hang the side curtains: Attach the curtain panels to the designated loops or hooks on the sides of the canopy. Let them fall naturally to enclose the space. Common mistake: pulling the curtains too tight can tear the fabric or pull the canopy out of alignment. Leave a little slack.
4. Secure the bottom edges: If your version includes bottom ties or weights, fasten them loosely to the climber legs or let them rest on the floor to keep the curtains in place. Checkpoint: make sure the bottom edges don't create a tripping hazard for kids entering or exiting the fort.
5. Test the enclosure: Gently shake the structure to confirm all clips and curtains are secure. Let your child crawl in and out to ensure the entrance is clear and the fabric doesn't snag. Final check: re-tighten any clips that loosened during play testing.
