Assemble Rafter B (Interior rafters)
NOTE:
The length of the shelter and the on-center spacing of the rafters determine the number of
interior rafters. Locate the All Frame Diagrams near the end of these instructions to view the frame of
your shelter.
1. Connect the rafter pipes as shown in Diagram B below.
2. Assemble rafter on the ground; slide swaged section into plain section until the 9/16” holes line up
(Figure 4). Secure each pipe joint with one ½" x 5½" bolt and two (2) Purlin Connection Brackets
(Figure 5).
3. Insert one rafter foot (105242) into the bottom of the rafter and secure with (1) one ½" x 5½" bolt
and two purlin connection brackets in the hole furthest from foot base. In hole closest to foot
base, secure foot to rafter using ½" x 4 ½" bolt (Figure 6).
4. Repeat Step 3 for the remaining rafter foot.
5. Complete this entire procedure to assemble remaining interior rafters (Rafter B).
ATTENTION:
Install all brackets and bolts so they do not interfere with the installation of the main cover. To protect the
cover, tape all rafter joints with duct tape.
