5-Way Coupler
(#103839)
Cap Screws
(#FAG355)
Leg Pipe
(Plain End)
LEG ASSEMBLY
Each leg assembly consists of one (1) drilled pipe, one (1)
5-way coupler, and required cap screws or bolts.
Gather the parts:
• Drilled leg pipe (#2375120D) and 5-way coupler
(#103839)
• Cap screw 3/8'' x 1'' (#FAG355B) and band clamp
(#103856)
1. Insert the plain end of a drilled pipe into the bottom
(odd) port of a 5-way coupler.
2. Secure the pipe in the 5-way coupler using 3/8'' x 1''
cap screws through the threaded holes of the coupler.
NOTE:
Install the drilled pipes with the plain end
inserted into the 5-way coupler. The drilled end of the
pipes are attached to ground posts or mounting feet if
used.
3. Assemble the legs until all drilled pipes and 5-way
couplers are used.
4. Slide a band clamp onto each leg assembly and
position it near the 5-way coupler. Slightly tighten the
band clamp or use tape to keep it in place.
NOTE:
If mounting feet* are used, attach a foot to each
leg assembly using bolts and nuts at this time.
If ground posts* are used, drive the post into the
ground so the top of the post is 1' foot above the
finished grade. Refer to the MUST READ document
sent with the shelter. Use the Quick Start diagrams to
properly space the ground posts if used.
*Additional purchase required for mounting feet and
ground posts.
RAFTER ASSEMBLY
The leg assemblies are connected with plain pipes to form
the rafters.
NOTE:
The basic 10' x 20' shelter has no interior rafters;
only the 10' x 40' and 10' x 60' shelters have interior rafters.
Gather the parts:
• Leg assemblies
• Plain pipe (#2375P120)
• Cap screw 3/8'' x 1'' (#FAG355)
• Strut (#103838) and band clamp (#103856)
1. Select a plain 10' pipe and slide two (2) band
clamps onto the pipe. This pipe connects two (2) leg
assemblies.
2. Slide each end of the plain pipe into the through ports
of the 5-way couplers as shown below and align the
pipe ends with the center of the 5-way coupler.
NOTE:
Position the 5-way couplers so the
through tube
is aligned with the width of the frame
.
3. Verify that the on-center width dimension measured at
the 5-way couplers is 10'-2 3/4". Adjust as needed.
4. Secure the plain pipe to the couplers using 3/8'' x 1''
cap screws through the threaded holes of each coupler.
5. Reposition the band clamps (previously installed on
each rafter leg and the 10' rafter pipe) approximately
12" from the 5-way couplers.
NOTE:
If the band clamps were not installed, install
them now. Use adjustable pliers to squeeze the clamps
back into shape after adding them to the pipes.
