END RAFTER ASSEMBLY (2)

Gather the parts:
•  Rafter pipe (#30R23S1D) and 2 QH1065 ratchets 
•  Rafter pipe (#30R23S1) & rafter pipe (#30R23P2) 
•  Pipe strap (#QH1070) & band clamp (#103856)
•  Rafter foot (#104302) 

Tek screws (#FA4482B) 

•  FAG363B 3/8" x 3" bolt and FALB04B 3/8" nut

ATTENTION: 

After assembling the end rafters, set the 

two (2) identical rafters aside in an accessible place. 

One rafter is used at each end of the frame during the 

assembly.

Do not place other assembled interior rafters from the 

next procedure on the end rafter pile.

Assemble End Rafters 
1.  Connect the pipes as shown below. Each rafter assembly consists of four (4) pipes: 2 (#30R23S1D), 1 (#30R23S1), 

and 1 (#30R23P2). Each #30R23S1D pipe includes 

one drilled hole near the bottom

 used to connect the rafter foot. 

2.  With the rafter pipes assembled on the ground, secure each pipe joint using one self-tapping Tek screw (FA4482). 

Position screws so they will not interfere with the cover once it is installed.

3.  Attach all (QH1070) brackets to the rafter using two (2) Tek screws for each strap. Attach the brackets to the 

underside of the rafter in the locations shown below and on the Front Profile diagram in the Quick Start section at the 

back of these instructions. The QH1070 straps should remain loose; do not fully tighten 

at this time

.

4.  Move to the end of each rafter leg and slide one (1) 103856 band clamp onto each leg.
5.  Attach a rafter foot to each leg of the rafter using a 3/8" x 3" bolt and 3/8" nut. Position the bolt head to the outside of 

the rafter to prevent cover damage when it is installed.

6.  With both rafter feet secured, measure 10" from the bottom of one rafter foot and mark a line on the inside of the 

rafter. Position the bottom of one QH1070 bracket on the line and secure it to the rafter. Strap should remain loose.  

7.  Repeat Step 6 to attach the remaining QH1070 strap to the rafter leg.
8.  Repeat the steps to assemble the second end rafter.
