Assistance and lifts are required to assemble the main frame.
The illustration that follow identify the main parts of the frame
assembly.
1. Locate three (3) couplers (CP287X125E) and four individual
pipes for the end rafter: 36HB287P1E, 36HB287P2E,
36HB287P3E and 36HB287P4E.
2. Install a Tek screw (FA4484B) into the center hole of each
coupler to set the distance the coupler slides onto each pipe.
3. Take the first two pipes (top right diagram) and slide each
into the mounted rafter foot.
Position the correct pipe into the
correct rafter foot and support the pipe until rafter is complete
.
NOTE:
Purlin holes in the end rafter pipes should point toward
the inside to the frame.
4. Slide a coupler onto the end of each pipe installed in previous
step. See Diagram A below.
5. Take the final coupler and two (2) remaining rafter pipes and
