Section F - Install Diagonal Bracing Struts
Struts are supplied in your kit to brace your shelter. You would normally have a pair of struts at each
end of the shelter running diagonally between the end and first rafter in.
Step 1:
Assemble (4) struts using a 99" swaged pipe into a 12" unswaged pipe. If this is a
permanent installation, secure the connection with a Tek screw into the joint.
Step 2:
Install a diagonal strut assembly in each corner of your pavilion. Position them as shown
between the swivel high on the end rafter and the swivel low on the neighboring inside rafter.
