BASEBOARD INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED)
Gather the parts:
• Treated or recycled plastic lumber (supplied by
customer).
• 1/4" x 4" carriage bolts and 1/4" nuts
NOTE:
The following procedure describes one way
to install the recommended baseboards. The size
and type of the baseboard you choose may require
the use of alternative steps. When properly installed,
baseboards run the length of the frame.
On the outside of the frame, attach the first baseboard
to the ground posts using the 1/4" x 4" carriage bolts
and nuts. Continue adding baseboards to complete the
first run. Splices are made between posts as shown.
Use a short section of baseboard to secure separate
baseboards at a splice.

NOTE:
The boards should be at ground level or slightly
into grade to prevent the shelter from sinking and to
create a seal along the bottom. After installing the
baseboards, continue with these instructions.
This baseboard is
not included
with the shipment and must
be supplied by the customer. Treated or recycled plastic
lumber works well for a baseboard.
The baseboard, when installed properly, helps prevent the
ground posts from sinking into the ground when anchored.
Depending on the building, it also provides a surface to
attach struts or other building components.
SIDE STRUT INSTALLATION
Side struts are positioned
between the end rafters and
the first interior rafter on each side of the shelter
. The
lower end of the strut is attached to the customer-supplied
baseboard (if used) or to the first interior rafter at the top of
the ground post using a band clamp.
Gather the Parts
• Struts and band clamps
• Lag screws or nut and bolt (supplied by customer)
1. Place a band clamp around the end rafter leg. Use a
channel lock pliers to squeeze the band clamp back
into shape after installation if needed.
2. Locate one strut and position it between one end rafter
leg and the leg of the first interior rafter as shown
below.
