Frame Assembly Procedure

Arrange the roof pipes on the ground adjacent to the  

correct couplers needed to assemble the roof.
1.  Connect the ridge pipes (58" purlin section) using a  

3-way coupler on the end rafter and 4-way couplers  

for the interior the sections. The assembled length 

should match the shelter length. 

 

 

NOTE:

 The last ridge pipe will finish with a 3-way 

coupler. Verify that the correct pipe is used.

2.  Attach the rafter pipes as shown in the illustration. 

Rafter pipes are 93".

3.  Connect the 3-way couplers to form the end rafters 

of the roof assembly and connect the 4-way cross 

couplers to construct the interior rafters.  

LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE

After the site is prepared, identify the location of the shelter 

corners to help square the frame after it is assembled.

Taking these steps 

before

 assembling the shelter saves 

time and ensures that the structure is positioned as 

desired. The following procedure is a suggested method.

Its use depends on the size of the shelter, shelter 

application, the footings, and the method used to anchor 

the shelter.

SQUARE THE SITE

1.  Identify a corner where a building rafter will be  

positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact  

width of the building and stake in place. 

2. 

Sting a line at least as long as the building from the first 

 

stake at 90°. 

 

NOTE:

 A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°  

angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.  

Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20  

helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.

3.  After squaring the position of the building and placing  

a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes  

to mark the base of the building.

NOTE:

 Position the eye bolts of the couplers to the 

inside of the frame and tighten.

FRAME ASSEMBLY
NOTE:

 With longer shelters, assembly may require shelter 

to be assembled in short sections and then lifted and 

connected for completion.
