Rafter Introduction
All rafters consist of the following five (5) pipes: 2 (42R3501D), 2 (42R3501), and 1 (42R3502). The
two 42R3501D pipes include two drilled holes near the bottom to connect the rafter foot.
Assemble Rafter A
(There are two (2) end rafters.)
1. Connect the pipes as shown in Diagram A below.
2. Assemble rafter on the ground; slide swaged section into plain section until 9/16” holes line up
(Figure 1). Secure each pipe joint with one ½" x 5½" bolt and a single Purlin Connection Bracket
(Figure 2).
3. Insert one rafter foot (105242) into the bottom of the rafter and secure with (1) one ½" x 5½" bolt
and a single Purlin Connection Bracket in hole furthest from foot base. In hole closest to foot
base, secure foot to rafter using ½" x 4½" bolt (Figure 3).
4. Repeat Step 3 for the remaining rafter foot.
5. Repeat the above steps to assemble a second Rafter A.
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.
