Step #1 --SECURING BASE FLANGES
Sit the building boxes in the chosen location. Remove all the
components from packaging to ensure all components are present by
checking with the Part List.
Figure 3 Position of Base Flanges
Begin by determining exact location of the four (4) corners of the building. Mark front
edge and side-to-side width of assembly on ground. Drive alignment stakes into the
ground outside of the markings, and draw alignment strings along both ends and sides
of the building to the dimensions shown in Figure 3. The outline of the strings will
represent the final location of the base flanges. The initial location of each Corner
Base Flanges (
5
R &
5
L) is critical to the alignment and fit of the frame components
and cover.
Locate the Left Corner Base Flange and Right Corner Base Flange(
5
R&
5
L). Secure
the base flanges with Stake Pegs (Part #
17
). Measurements shown in Figure 2 are to
the center of the upright sockets on each Base Flange.
The Shelter must be secured to a firm surface that can receive and retain augers and
pegs firmly in position. The shelter should be installed on FIRM GROUND, not on
SWAMP, SOFT/WET GROUND. The Base Flanges must be secured so they cannot
be moved. Arches are tensioned at their base as they insert into the Base Plate sockets
.
