ASSEMBLING THE STORAGE MASTER BUILDING
COMPONENTS
NOTE
: Assistance is required to assemble the shelter.
After the site is prepared and squared, the rafter feet are
assembled and anchored in place (if applicable to your
shelter), and an inventory of parts is complete, assemble
the rafters.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Completely assemble the rafters and
frame for one greenhouse bay
before
starting to assemble
the second (and third).
RAFTER ASSEMBLY
Gather the parts:
• Rafter pipe (#20SM23P2)
• Rafter pipe (#28SM23S1) & rafter pipe (#2375S100D)
• Pipe 1.66'' x 99'' swaged (#166S099)
• Pipe 1.66'' x 40'' plain (#166P040)
• Band clamps (#QH1402 & 103856)
• Pipe strap (#QH1070)
• Tek screws (#FA4484)
Each rafter assembly consists of five (5) rafter sections:
1 curved center pipe (for the top or peak), 2 leg pipes that
include
drilled holes near the bottom
to connect the rafter
feet, and 2 curved pipes that connect the legs to the top
center pipe.
Interior Rafter Assembly Procedure
1. Select the five (5) pipes needed to assemble a rafter
and arrange these on a flat surface as shown below for
assembly.

2. Using a tape measure, measure the following clamp
locations on the pipe and mark locations with a marker.
Mark these locations (shown below) on the remaining
curved pipe for the opposite side of the rafter assembly.
NOTE:
Measurements are for reference only. Once the
struts are attached, reposition the clamps as needed.
3. After marking the clamp locations, take six (6) of the
larger band clamps (#103856) and slide these onto the
different rafter pipes and position them near the marked
locations.
Do not secure these clamps at this time
.
4. Slide the swaged portion of each rafter pipe into the
plain end of the pipe.
IMPORTANT:
The rafter foot mounting holes drilled in
the sides near the bottom of each rafter leg must be
parallel with the ground
when viewed looking down at
the rafter assembly on the ground.
