7. Repeat steps to install first section of purlin pipe between end rafter and first interior rafter. Purlins run parallel with each other and are spaced as shown in
diagrams. See Quick Start diagrams near back of this guide. Temporary bracing can be removed once all purlins are installed between first set of rafters.
8. Choose another interior rafter assembly and set it in position.
Do not use remaining end rafter.
Secure rafter legs to ground posts and steady rafter.
9. Add another pipe and cross connector clamp to each purlin run. Verify on-center rafter spacing and
tighten clamps. Repeat Step 6 to secure clamps to rafter and purlin pipe. See Figure 2 previous page.
10. Secure each purlin pipe splice using an FA4482B Tek screw.
11. Repeat steps as needed to complete assembly of frame.
ATTENTION:
Slide a band clamp onto each leg of remaining end rafter, secure rafter to ground
posts, and attach purlins to it. Verify that end clamps are positioned with nut and bolt to the inside of
assembled frame. Refer to Quick Start section and previous diagrams if needed. If last end rafter is
plumb and final purlin pipe extends beyond end of rafter, cut purlin pipe to required length.
12. Once all rafters are set and all purlins are in place and secure, return to each purlin pipe splice and
verify a Tek screw is installed and tightened. Install screws if needed.
13. Remove any temporary bracing (if needed) and install struts.
Steps 10 & 12: Secure all purlin pipe splices
using an FA4482B Tek screw for each splice.
