END WALL FRAMING KITS
Revision date: 11.12.14
ASSEMBLING THE END FRAME KIT COMPONENTS
Consult the end wall diagrams in the Quick Start section of
these instructions
before
you begin.
ATTENTION:
If the main cover is installed, loosen the two
(2) main cover bonnet ratchets at the end of the shelter
where the end wall will be installed. If an end panel is to
be installed, remove the ratchets to install the end panel
frame. The ratchets are reattached
after
the end frame is
installed.
Assistance is required to assemble the end wall. Lifts
designed to reach the top of the end rafter are also needed.
Consult a qualified construction professional if you are not
familiar with the construction of similar frame structures.
INSTALL THE END FRAME
• Angled Bracket (#QH1330)
• Tek screws (#FA4482B)
• 2" x 2" square tube (105328)
• 1.75" x 1.75" square tube inserts (104075)
The following steps describe one way to set end frame tubes.
1. At ground level, measure
between the legs of the end rafter
to locate the center of the end wall. Use a plumb line to
identify the center of the overhead rafter and mark that location on the ground as well.
2. Using the dimensions on the Front Profile diagrams, locate the positions of the end frame (or
door jambs
for the door
if equipped). The width of the door determines the frame dimensions for the door opening.
Consult the documentation
sent with the door for the correct spacing of the door jambs.
3. Dig a 12" diameter hole
at the locations found in previous step
to a depth that is below the geographic frost line.
ATTENTION:
Concrete should remain 1" to 2" below ground level so that it does not interfere with construction and
installation of the door frame components if equipped.

ATTENTION:
If you are installing an overhead door, do not
attach framing within the door opening.
4. Assemble the vertical frame members and attach the upper ends
to the end rafter using QH1330 brackets and Tek screws.
NOTE:
Splice the joints of the 2" x 2" tubes using a 104075
(1.75" x 1.75") square tube insert for each splice. Install Tek
screws to secure each splice.
Do not install Tek screws on surfaces where the end panel
(if equipped) or overhead door (if equipped) are positioned.
Consult the installation instructions that shipped with the door for
additional information.
If an overhead door (additional purchase
required) is to be installed, do not install the center vertical
within
the framed door opening
.
ATTENTION:
For best results, cut the 2" x 2" tube assembly to
a length that allows the bottom end to extend into ground anchor
holes at least 12" to be secured.
