Step 4: Frame Assembly and Anchoring
Part 1
Fig. 4.1
A:
Move your Post Assemblies to the final location. Make sure the ground is flat and level before continuing
assembly.
B:
With one person at each Post stand two complete Post Assemblies. A third person places one Beam
Assembly against the outside of each Post, flush to the tops and outside corners. Notice bolt hole orientation on
the Beam Assembly. A fourth person attaches Beam to Post with one 3/8 x 10-1/2” Hex Bolt (with two 3/8” large
washers and one 3/8” lock nut) per Post. The distance from the outside of one Post to the outside of the second
Post should be 11’ 0”. (fig. 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3)
C:
Continue until all four Beam Assemblies are attached and the corners are tight together. (fig. 4.1 and 4.2) See
fig. 4.3 for accurate positioning of Posts.
