SQUARE THE ASSEMBLED FRAME
Complete these steps:
1. Square the frame by measuring diagonally (corner-
to-corner) at the base and verify that the two
measurements are equal. Adjust as needed.
2. Examine the frame and remove any sharp edges from
the frame or reposition screws so they do not come in
contact with the main cover or end panels (if equipped).
3. Verify that rafters are plumb and the width of the base
rails are properly spaced at 30' on-center.
4. Verity that all pipe and tube joints are secured with Tek
screws.
This includes base rails, rafters, purlins, and all
additional bracing.
5. After the frame is squared, read or reread the
MUST
READ
document and anchor the frame in place.
ANCHOR THE SHELTER
At this point in the assembly process, anchor the
assembled frame. Once the frame assembly is anchored
properly, continue with these instructions.
WARNING
: Securing the base rails to concrete blocks
or wood boards set on the site is not a substitute for
properly anchoring the shelter.
You must anchor the
shelter as described in the MUST READ document.
FAILING TO PROPERLY ANCHOR THE SHELTER
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SHELTER AND
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
READ THE MUST READ DOCUMENT TO PROPERLY
ANCHOR THE SHELTER.
Consult the services of a qualified contractor familiar with
anchoring similar structures in the same region (if needed)
to properly anchor the frame.
You must anchor the frame before installing the end panels
and main cover.
The diagrams below illustrate two possible ways to properly
anchor the shelter to the site. Sample frame shown below
may differ from the actual frame.
Install an anchor at each rafter leg along each side of the
frame.
The parts shown in the diagrams regarding anchor systems
are
not included
with the shelter.
