Your hoop ships coiled down as pictured below. It is secured with filamanet tape. To open, simply cut the tape and conenct the push button. For larger diameters (36"+) you may have to let the hoop rest to naturally expand before use. Leave it on the ground for a few hours and it will expand.

For travel, you can coil the hoop down about 3/4 of the way and secure with zips ties or filament tape. For larger diameters (38+) you can coil the hoop down completely and connect the push button.
