13. After attaching the first two connection plates, flip
the rafter assembly over and attach the remaining
two connection plates for the rafter.
Diagram shows an installed connection plate.
14. Repeat the procedures to assembly the remaining
rafters and related center bracing.
After all rafter assemblies are complete, continue with
the
FRAME ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
that follow.
FRAME ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions assume the rafter feet are
properly spaced on the base rails as previously
instructed and that the site is level.
ASSEMBLE AND PRE-MARK THE PURLINS
Before assembling the frame, the purlins must be
marked. This speeds the assembly process and
eliminates the need to measure each purlin as it is
installed. In addition, pre-marking the purlins ensures
that an accurate spacing of the rafter assemblies is
achieved and maintained during assembly.
Required Tools: Permanent Marker, Tape Measure
Required Pipe:
•
1.315" x 75" swaged pipe (#131S075)
•
1.315" x
XX"
plain pipe (#131P0
XX
)
NOTE:
The purlins are part of the assembled frame.
There are four (4) lengths of assembled purlins that run
perpendicular to the rafter assemblies. Each purlin
consists of 1.315" x 75" (#131S075) swaged pipes
(number is determined by shelter length) and one (1)
1.315" x XX" (#131P0XX) plain pipe.
ATTENTION: The XX" represents the remaining
length required to reach the end of the shelter.
Consult the Spec Sheet for part identification.
1. Select the required pipe sections for one purlin and
connect these by inserting the swaged ends of the
pipes into the plain ends until the entire purlin is
assembled.
NOTE:
Assemble the purlins in a location that is
accessible during the assembly of the frame, but will not
interfere with the process of lifting and setting the rafters.
2. Verify that each pipe joint is properly seated.
NOTE: These pipes must be taken apart during the
assembly procedure. Do not fasten them together at
this time.
