1. Identify legs for sidewalls: 2'' x 2'' square tubing,
quantity depending on order (refer to packing slip).
The length of the legs depend on the sidewall height
of your order. A sidewall height of 5'-0'' will have legs
58'' long, so the legs will measure 2'' shorter than the
ordered sidewall height.
2.
Attach the assembled rafter to legs using
column brackets & #14 tek screws.
Note on End Rafters, the corner bracket ears have
to be facing each other as indicated in Detail A.
