FRAME ASSEMBLY
Gather the parts:
• All rafter assemblies
• Pipe 1.315'' x 75'' swaged (131S075)
• Pipe 1.315'' x 73.5'' plain (131P0735)
• Band clamps (QH1400)
• Cross connectors (102547)
• Struts (QH1308) and Tek screws
Frame Assembly Procedure
1. Stand one end rafter (one with the 102857 end clamps
attached) and brace it in place as shown below. Check
that the rafter is standing straight (plumb). Position the
bolt side of end clamp to the inside of the frame.
2. Insert the plain end of one 75'' purlin pipe into each
end clamp at the bottom of the end rafter.
Position the
clamp 6'' from the bottom of the end rafter
.
CAUTION:
To prevent cover damage, the ends of the
purlins should extend no more than ½'' past the end
clamp. The bolt side of the end clamps must go toward
the “inside'' of the shelter (the same side as the purlin)
as shown above.
4. Install two (2) cross connectors and insert a purlin
pipe through each connector at the top locations of the
interior rafter and also through the end clamps at the
top of the end rafter.
5. Verify that both rafters are plumb and properly spaced
on center.
6. Tighten the cross connectors at the top of the interior
rafter and tighten the end clamps at the top of the end
rafter to keep the rafters stable.
7. Insert the bottom purlin into the end clamp on the end
rafter and through a cross connector on the interior
rafter.
8. Slide a band clamp (QH1400) on each of the two
bottom purlins between the second and third rafters.
