17. Once all rafters are set and all purlins are in place
and secured, return to each pipe strap and insert a
Tek screw through the pipe strap and into the purlin.
18. After securing all purlin pipes to each pipe strap,
locate all purlin pipe joints and secure each of these
with a Tek screw. (See below.)
19. Remove the temporary bracing (if needed), and
install the side struts.
SIDE STRUT INSTALLATION
There are four (4) side struts for the shelter. These 8'
struts are positioned between the end rafters and the
first interior rafter on each side of the shelter. (See the
diagram on the previous page.)
Complete these steps to install the four (4) side struts:
1. Locate one (1) eight foot strut (105119) and position
it between one end rafter leg and the leg of the first
interior rafter as shown above.
2. Align one end of the strut with the center of the
interior rafter leg and secure the strut to the base rail
with a Tek screw. See the diagram that follows for
clarification.
3. Verify that the end rafter is plumb (straight up and
down) and secure the strut to the inside of the leg of
the end rafter.
4. Repeat the above steps to attach the remaining side
struts to the shelter.
5. After securing the struts, complete the next
procedure to square the assembled frame.
