END WALL INSTALLATION

Consult the end wall diagrams in the Quick Start section of 

these instructions 

before

 you begin.  

 

Assistance is required to assemble the end wall. Lifts 

designed to reach the top of the end rafter are also needed. 

Consult a qualified construction professional if you are not 

familiar with the construction of similar frame structures.

Install the Ground Posts for Door Frame Tubes

The following steps describe one way to set the ground 

posts for the door frame tubes.
1.  At ground level, measure 

between the legs of the end 

rafter

 to locate the center of the end wall. Use a plumb 

line to identify the center of the overhead rafter chord 

and mark that location on the ground as well. (See 

Quick Start guide.) Center the door in the end wall. 

NOTE:

 Marking the center of the end wall allows multiple measurements to be made as needed.

2.  Using the dimensions on the End Wall Frame diagrams, locate the positions of the 

vertical door frame members

 for 

the door. The width of the door determines the frame dimensions for the door opening. 

Consult the diagrams and 

documentation sent with the door for the correct spacing of the door frame verticals.

3.  Dig a 12" diameter hole 

at the locations found in previous step

 to a depth that is below the geographic frost line.

4.  Add concrete to the hole. Concrete should remain 2"- 4" below ground level so that it does not interfere with 

construction and installation of other end wall components.

5.  Determine the required width of the door and insert one 1.75" x 1.75" square tube (104075) into the concrete 

approximately 8". See diagram below. Repeat the step and verify that the tubes are plumb, square with the end rafters 

and frame, and the correct distance apart. 

When installed correctly, ground posts are directly below the lower chord of 

the end rafter.
