END WALL INSTALLATION 

 
Both end walls are identical in design. This allows for the installation of a second door kit if desired. Consult the end wall 
diagrams 

before

 you begin. 

 
The general steps to install the end walls include the following: 
 
1.  Prepare and secure vertical posts for the door framing. (See End Wall Diagrams.) 
2.  Install remainder of door framing. 
3.  Assemble and attach all end wall framing. 
4.  Prepare and attach end panel. 
 

INSTALL THE DOOR FRAME 
 

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 and mark that location on the ground, too.  

 

NOTE:

 Mark the center of the end wall so multiple measurements can be made from it. 

 
2.  Using the dimensions shown on the diagram, locate the positions of the vertical frame members for the door framing. 
 
3.  Dig a 12” diameter hole at the locations found in previous step to a depth that is below the geographic frost line. 
 
4.  Assemble the vertical doorframe members and attach the upper ends to the end rafter. 

ATTENTION:

 Cut each tube 

to a length that will allow the bottom end to extend into the ground anchor holes so they can be cemented in place. 

 
5.  After the vertical doorframe members are in position, plumb, and the correct distance apart, secure the tubes in the 

ground holes. Use the diagram to space the vertical doorframe members. 

 

NOTE: 

Concrete should remain at least 4" below ground level so that it does not interfere with construction and 

installation of other end wall components. Doorframe tubes must be square and plumb for the end wall.
