Frame Assembly

FRAME ASSEMBLY (continued)

With the first three (3) rafters assembled, take the first top purlin and

secure it to the rafters using Tek screws. See Diagrams D and E at
the right.

Consult the Over-the-Top Measurements diagram in the

Quick Start section for purlin spacing dimensions.

NOTE:

In those instances where a top purlin and an interior rafter are

also used to attach two cable assemblies, install the 108873 raf

ter

cable plate (single) between the rafter and purlin using Tek screws (F).

36', 48', and 60' Long Frame:

When four (4) cable assemblies meet

at the same top purlin and rafter, install a 108874 rafter cable plate
(double) to secure the cables (G).

Consult the Quick Start guide for

additional details

regarding the location and installation of the rafter

cable plates

. Use assistants when installing the plates.

Install and secure the remaining top purlins for the first few rafters as

10.

previously described and as shown in the Quick Start section of these
instructions.

Repeat the previous steps to assemble the remainder of the frame.

11.

ATTENTION:

You must install the ridge purlins after setting two or

three rafters.

Do not set all remaining rafters with only the ridge purlins

in place. Install top purlins for additional support.

When mounting the

remaining end rafter, remember to install the two (2) angled cable
brackets as described in Steps 1 and 2.
