BASEBOARD INSTALLATION
The baseboard is supplied by the customer and is attached
at ground level along both sides of the frame. It helps keep
the ground posts in place and also prevents the frame from
working into the ground when anchored.
Attach the baseboards to the frame on the outside of the
ground posts at this time.
Gather the Parts:
• Treated or recycled plastic lumber (supplied by
customer).
• 1/4" x 4" Carriage bolts and 1/4" Nuts
NOTE:
The following procedure describes one way
to install the required baseboards. The size and type
of the baseboard chosen may require the use of
alternative steps. When properly installed, baseboards
run the length of the frame.
On the outside of the frame, attach the first baseboard to
the ground posts using the 1/4" x 4" carriage bolts and
nuts. Continue adding baseboards to complete the first run.
Splices are made between posts as shown. Use a short
section of baseboard to secure separate baseboards at a
splice.
NOTE:
The boards should be at ground level or slightly into
grade to prevent the shelter from sinking and to create a
seal along the bottom.
After installing the baseboards, continue with the
installation of the side struts.
FRAME ASSEMBLY (continued)
NOTE:
If two angled purlins end on the same rafter,
offset the purlins to fit on the rafter as shown in the
diagram below.
4. Verify that the purlin is in the correct position and
secure the purlin to each pipe strap with a Tek screw as
shown in the diagram below.
Tek screw goes through
pipe strap and purlin pipe.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining three
angled purlins.
6. Once all rafters are set and all purlins are in place and
secure, return to each pipe splice of each purlin and
verify that a Tek screw is installed. Install a Tek screw if
needed.
7. Continue by installing the baseboard.
