Set up the two included room dividers to further help to keep things organized—or for a little more privacy.

There are also 6 poles that go along the perimeter of the hexagon (see the picture above), so these are next to be added. You have hub elements in the corners of the hexagon and they will help in connecting these roof poles with the 6 metal vertical leg poles.
