Install Struts
STRUT INSTALLATION — FRAME SIDES AT EACH END
There are four (4) side struts for the frame. Struts are positioned between end
rafters and first interior rafter. Gather parts:
• Struts (See Quick Start section for part identification.)
• Band Clamps (#QH1402) — 2 per strut. (Installed earlier during frame
assembly steps.)
Complete these steps to install struts:
1. Review diagrams in Quick Start section for additional details.
2. Attach strut upper end to end rafter band clamp. (Install clamp if needed.)
Adjust strut position so lower end of strut reaches band clamp on second
rafter. (Install that band clamp too if needed.)

or end wall cladding or side panels when these are installed.
