Free-Standing Building

OVERVIEW

This section describes assembling your free-standing 

building. For details of each assembly procedure, consult 

the Quick Start Guide and the individual sections of these 

instructions. See illustration below to identify main parts of 

shelter.
1.  Layout the site and identify the required parts for each 

assembly procedure.

2.  Assemble all rafters.
3.  Assemble and anchor the frame.
4.  Prepare and install the main cover.

The instructions that follow describe assembling all rafters 

and then constructing the frame. Depending on the number 

of individuals assisting with the construction, it may be best 

and more efficient to have someone assemble the rafters 

and others assemble the frame as rafters are completed.

Other factors to consider during the assembly include:
•  Amount of working area
•  Available lifts and work platforms
•  Number of assistants
