Complete these steps:
1.
With the frame in position, perform a final square of the
frame by measuring diagonally (corner-to-corner) as
shown below at the bottom of the legs. Verify that the
two measurements are equal and adjust if needed.
2. Measure width from center of rafter leg to center of
other rafter leg of the same rafter assembly and adjust
if needed. Repeat for all rafter assemblies.

3. Examine the frame and remove any sharp edges from
the frame or reposition screws (if equipped) so they do
not come in contact with the roof cover.
4. After the frame is squared, read or reread the MUST
READ document and anchor the shelter.
ANCHOR THE SHELTER
At this point, anchor the shelter. Consult the MUST READ
document for anchoring information and suggestions.
Please call customer service at 1-800-245-9881 for
additional anchoring information.
CAUTION
: The anchor assembly is an integral part of
the shelter construction. Improper anchoring may
cause shelter instability and failure of the structure
to perform as designed. Failing to anchor the shelter
properly will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may
cause serious injury and damage.
FRAME ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
4. While lifting one side of the assembled roof structure,
insert a 77″ pipe into the 3-way and 4-way couplers
then tighten eye bolts. Refer to the illustration below.
5. Repeat the step for the other side of the frame.
6. Verify that all eye bolts are tight and square the frame.
