Step 1
Begin by putting each of the 4 yellow metal poles into each of the 4 Big Red Bases. With all 4 poles in place, arrange the bases into a square formation.

Step 2
Slide each of the 4 T-fittings (without the PVC pipes attached) down the top of each metal pole. The T-fittings on the front 2 poles should sit lower than the 2 T-fittings on the back side.

Step 3
Insert each PVC adjustable hinge (there are 4) onto the top of each metal pole. Make sure the �adjuster� on each PVC hinge is points outward when in place.

Step 4
One at a time, slide each PVC pipe through each sleeve of the fabric chute (there are 4 pipes and 4 sleeves for the top). Once the pipe is in the fabric sleeve, attach both ends to the adjustable hinges that are on each pole. Do this for all 4 pipes. At this point, you will start to see the box-shaped chute forming.

Step 5
Slide another PVC pipe through the fabric sleeve at the bottom front of the chute (shaped like a big flap). Once the pipe is in the fabric sleeve, attach both ends to the T-fittings on the bottom front of the chute.

Step 6
Slide the last PVC pipe through the fabric sleeve at the back of the chute. Once the pipe is in the sleeve, attach both ends to the T-fittings that are on the back side of the chute. Make sure these T-fittings sit much higher than the ones on the front of the chute, so when the pipe (with sleeve) is attached, it forms a downhill ramp that comes down towards the front.
