Repeat this step for each loop
- Tighten the cord firmly and tie it to the looped end of the cord

The holes on the pole should align the crown - Secure the pole with the bolts

At the top, insert the cable into the slit and pull away from the central pole

Repeat this step for each cable - Put the parasol back into the base
