FRAME ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
9. Install the remaining purlins. Verify the rafter spacing is
5' on-center and tighten connectors.
10. Continue adding rafters and purlins until the frame is
assembled.
NOTE: Remember to slide a band clamp onto each
bottom purlin between the last interior rafter and the
end rafter at the remaining end of the shelter.
11. Finish each purlin run using the plain, shorter pipe
(#131P0615), and use the final end rafter to complete
the assembly.
NOTE:
Each purlin assembly consists of four (4)
1.315'' x 75'' (#131S075) swaged pipes and one (1)
1.315'' x 61.5'' (#131P0615) plain pipe.
NOTE:
To prevent cover damage, DO NOT allow the
purlin to extend beyond the end rafter.
If the last end rafter is plumb and the purlin run extends
beyond the end of the rafter, cut the last section of
purlin pipe to the required length.
Typically purlin pipes do not require cutting. Verify that
the finished purlin run has the correct plain pipe before
cutting any pipe.
12. Return to each clamp and install a Tek screw through
the clamp and into the purlin pipe as shown.
13. Secure each clamp to the rafter using a Tek screw.

Strut Assembly Procedure
1. After the rafter assembly is complete, verify that the
band clamps are in the proper locations. See diagram
below.
2. Remove the bolts and attach a strut between the band
clamp on the purlin and the band clamp on the end
rafter. Position the strut so that it forms a triangle as
shown below.
NOTE:
Verify that the bolt heads are to the outside of
the shelter and that the end rafter is plumb before
tightening the band clamp bolts.
3. Install the remaining struts and tighten all band clamp
bolts.
4. Secure each band clamp to each purlin or rafter using
a Tek screw.
5. Return to each purlin joint and secure using a Tek
screw.
