END FRAME INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Assemble the End Frame
After the vertical supports are attached and the concrete
has set, assemble the remainder of the end frame.
• Mounting bracket (#108506)
• Tek screws (#FA4482B)
• Hat Channel (108529)
Complete the following steps:
1. Using the dimensions on the End Frame Dimensions
diagram, measure and mark the on-center hat channel
locations on each vertical support.
NOTE:
Complete this step by either measuring and
marking the locations on each support, or measuring
and marking the locations on the end rafters and
snapping a chalk line across the supports.
2. Align the
center
of the first hat channel section with the
previously measured on-center marks. Verify the hat
channel is level and secure it to the vertical supports
using two Tek screws as shown.
3. Align the center of another
hat channel section
with
the on-center marks to complete the horizontal brace.
Overlap the previously installed section by a minimum
of 4"-6" and secure with Tek screws. Horizontal brace
must be level.
NOTE:
Sections may overlap more than 4"-6".
Consult
the
End Frame Diagrams - Connections
at the back of
these instructions for details if needed
.
4. Repeat Steps 2-3 to complete the horizontal braces.
Verify that the end of the horizontal brace aligns with
the outside edge of the rafter leg/ground post.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for the remaining brace.
