NOTE:
• Ensure that the screw head is in the right direction to prevent it from tearing the roof cover.
• Assemble all the arches and lay them on the ground. Do not erect them until all the arches have been as-
sembled.
CAUTION
: Do not install the carriage bolt on top of the truss, where the fabric will rest, as it can
tear the fabric.
FRAME INSTALLATION
1. Erect the assembled first arch to the standing position using a crane. Insert one end of the assembled arch
into one base plate and force the other end of the arch into the opposite base plate, as shown in
Figures 6
and 7.
2. Install the second arch in the same manner immediately after installing the first arch, and connect the two
arches using connection purlins (component code 6). Secure the purlins using M8 X 70 mm bolts, as shown
in
Figures 6 and 7
.
3. Connect the top roof purlin (component code 5) between the open end of the three-way fitting tube of the
first arch and the open end of the four-way fitting tube of the second arch, and secure using butterfly bolts
(component code 14), as shown in
Figures 6 and 7
.
4. Install the third arch and connect the connection purlins and the top roof purlin. Install all the other arches
in the same manner and connect the purlins.
5. Tighten all the frame bolts and purlins adequately before installing the roof cover.
NOTE:
There are four connection purlins and one top roof purlin between two arches.
