ATTENTION:
As the purlins are attached, it may be necessary to tap the cross connectors with a hammer to keep the
purlins inline and parallel with each other. To protect the cover, tape all rafter joints with duct tape.
7. Set the next rafter in place and repeat the process.
NOTE:
Always keep working from the same end of the purlins as you add rafters and purlin sections to the frame.
As
the sections of the purlins are added, secure each joint with one Tek screw to prevent separation.
Consult the previous diagrams for additional information.
8. After all interior rafters are in place and secure, install the final end rafter.
NOTE:
Do not allow the purlin to extend beyond the end of the end rafter. See Step 4 if needed.
9. Secure all purlin pipe joints with a Tek screw. Additionally, secure each cross connector to the rafter and to the purlin
using Tek screws. Position screws so they do not interfere with the cover to prevent damage.
10. Tape all rafter joints with duct tape to protect the cover. Also tape the purlins at the end rafters to protect the cover.
See diagrams below. Remove any sharp edges from the frame so they do not cut the cover.
11. With all rafters in place, read the MUST READ document to anchor the frame.
Consult the MUST READ document
for shelter anchoring information.
12. After anchoring the frame, install the cabling for the shelter.
