 POLY BUILDINGS

LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE

The High Boy building frame is designed to be anchored 

to the ground or to a concrete foundation. If a concrete 

foundation or footing is not used, setting the base of each 

rafter on treated planks or concrete pads is recommended.

If boards are used as shown above, the boards must 

be staked in place to the proper width of the building 

frame. 

The on-center frame width for this line of High 

Boy buildings is 26' 3-1/2"

. Consult the Quick Start Guide 

diagrams for additional dimensions and details.

ATTENTION:

 

The frame must be anchored to the site. 

Securing the frame to boards that are staked in place is 

not sufficient to secure the building. Consult the Must Read 

document for additional anchoring instructions.

If a concrete foundation or footing is used, the base plates 

can be anchored to the foundation or footing before the 

frame is assembled. Consult the Base Details diagram 

in the Quick Start Guide of these instructions to properly 

space and attach the base plates to the foundation.

Consult a qualified professional contractor to properly 

anchor the base plates to the concrete foundation. 

IMPORTANT:

 Materials to anchor the frame to the site or to 

secure the base plates to the foundation are not included 

and 

must be supplied by the customer.

 

Frame shown above is used to illustrate setting a frame on treated 

boards for support. Frame may differ from actual frame.

Space below is reserved for customer notes.

Boards and all 

materials needed 

to secure the 

boards and base 

plates in place are 

supplied by the 

customer.

Base plate design 

may differ from 

actual design.
