INTERIOR RAFTER ASSEMBLIES

Gather the parts:
•  Rafter pipe (#37R23S1D)
•  Rafter pipe (#38R23S1) 
•  Rafter pipe (#38R23P2) 
•  Rafter foot (#104302) 
•  Tek screws (#FA4482B) 
•  FAG363B 3/8" x 3" bolt and FALB04B 3/8" nut

Assemble Interior Rafters With Attached Ratchets
1.  Connect the pipes as shown below. Each rafter assembly consists of five (5) pipes: 2 (#37R23S1D), 2 (#38R23S1), 

and 1 (#38R23P2). Each #37R23S1D pipe includes 

one drilled hole near the bottom

 used to connect the rafter foot. 

2.  With the rafter pipes assembled on the ground, secure each pipe joint using one self-tapping Tek screw (FA4482). 

Position screws so they will not interfere with the cover once it is installed.

3.  Attach a rafter foot to each leg of the rafter using a 3/8" x 3" bolt and 3/8" nut. Position the bolt head to the outside of 

the rafter to prevent cover damage when it is installed.

Diagram shows position of the 

cross connector.
