Turnbuckles are
toward the Base 
Plates.

STEP 8 - Attach X Cables.

 

Hook the cables into position as 

shown.  Note the turnbuckles are at the 
bottom for ease of access and adjust-
ment.  

See figure 8

.

• Tension the cables to square the 
frame.  Use a level if possible to check 
the squareness of the frame.  If no level 
is available, the gap in the turnbuckles 
should be approximately equal.

Figure 8

STEP 9 - Pull first fabric mid panel into place.
• 

Throw the snap ends of the two (2) pull ropes from the installa-

tion kit over the top of frame.  

See Figure 9b.

• 

CAUTION:  Be certain area is clear so as not to strike any-

one while throwing the pull ropes over the top.

• 

Lay the mid fabric next to the bottom of the legs.  Mid should 

be loosely stacked to permit feeding into the slots near the top 
of the lower legs.

• Snap the pull ropes onto the rings of the mid. 
 
• Insert kedar ends of mids into slots (See Kedar in 

Figure 9a

). 

• Two (2)  to four (4) persons pull the fabric over the top of the 
frame down to the bottom of the far leg, while two (2) persons 
guide the edges into the slots.  

See Figure 9b.

• Disconnect the pull lines.

• 

CAUTION:  Be certain at all times that fabric is not caught 

on any part of the frame to prevent damage to the fabric.

• Insert the trailing kedar edges into the slots and work back 
down to the bottom of the near leg.

• Remove the half-purlins and splices from the frame lifts and 
attach the remaining half purlins to create four (4) purlins which 
will now be used as ground bars to secure and tension the lower 
edges of the mid panels. 

• Loosen and release the bottom of the X-Cables to permit 
installation of the ground bars.

Snap ends of 
Pull ropes.
