SUNBURST POLY BUILDINGS
LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE
After the site is prepared, identify the location of the shelter
corners to help square the frame after it is assembled.
Taking these steps
before
assembling the shelter saves
time and ensures that the structure is positioned as
desired. The following procedure is a suggested method.
Its use depends on the size of the shelter, shelter
application, the footings, and the method used to anchor
the shelter.
The procedure may not apply to your shelter.
SQUARE THE SITE
Identify a corner where a building rafter will be
positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact
width of the building and stake in place.
Sting a line at least as long as the building from the first
stake at 90°.
NOTE:
A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°
angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.
Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20
helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.
After squaring the position of the building and placing
a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes
to mark the base of the building.

FRAME ASSEMBLY
NOTE:
For easier assembly of shelters longer than 30',
construct the frame in short sections and then lift and
connected the different sections to complete the assembly.
Gather the parts:
Rafter pipes 1.66" x 75" swaged (#166S075)
Rafter pipes 1.66" x 60" plain (#166P060)
Pipes 1.66" x 58" plain (#166P058)
3-way couplers & 4-way couplers
End clamps (#102856) & cross connectors (#102548)
Tek screws
Complete these steps:
Arrange the roof pipes on the ground adjacent to the
correct couplers needed to assemble the roof.
Connect the 58" ridge pipes (166P058) using a
3-way coupler at the end and 4-way couplers between
the ends. The on-center length of the ridge assemble
will match the on-center shelter length.

NOTE:
Finish the ridge pipe assembly using a 3-way
coupler.
Assemble the rafter pipes using one (1) 60" plain
pipe and one (1) 75" swaged pipe for each side of the
rafters. With the rafter pipes seated at the joint, secure
the joint with a single self-tapping Tek screw.

NOTE:
Position the Tek screw approximately 1'' from
pipe joint as shown above.
