SQUARE THE ASSEMBLED FRAME
Complete these steps:
1. Perform a final square of the frame by measuring
diagonally (corner-to-corner) at the base and verify that
the two measurements are equal.
2. Examine the frame and remove any sharp edges from
the frame or reposition screws so they do not come in
contact with the roof panels (if equipped).
3. Verify that rafters are plumb and the base rails are
properly spaced at 24' on-center.
4. Verity that all pipe and tube joints are secured with Tek
screws.
This includes base rails, rafters, purlins, and all
additional bracing.
5. After the frame is squared, read or reread the
MUST
READ
document and anchor the frame in place.
ANCHOR THE SHELTER
At this point in the assembly process, anchor the
assembled frame. Once the frame assembly is anchored
properly, continue with these instructions.
WARNING
: Securing the base rails to concrete blocks
or wood boards set on the site is not a substitute for
properly anchoring the shelter.
You must anchor the
shelter as described in the MUST READ document.
FAILING TO PROPERLY ANCHOR THE SHELTER
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SHELTER AND
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
READ THE MUST READ DOCUMENT TO PROPERLY
