ASSEMBLING THE FRAME COMPONENTS
NOTE
: Assistance is required to assemble the shelter
frame.
RAFTER ASSEMBLY
Gather the parts:
• Rafter pipe #20R1601
• Rafter pipe #20R1602
• Rafter pipe #166S027D
• End clamps
• Tek screws
• Nut setter (3/8'' x 2-9/16 magnetic)
Rafter Assembly Procedure
Each rafter assembly consists of six (6) rafter sections:
three (3) swaged sections, one (1) plain section, and a pair
of swaged extensions.
1. Select the six (6) pipes needed to assemble a rafter
and arrange these on a flat surface as shown below for
assembly.
2. Slide the swaged portion of each rafter pipe into the
plain end of the pipe as shown.
3. With the main rafter pipes seated at each joint and the
rafter positioned on a flat surface, secure each joint
with a single self-tapping Tek screw.
ATTENTION:
Do not secure the drilled leg pipes until
rafter is secured to the ground posts. This allows holes
in rafter legs to be aligned with those in ground post.
Install the screws so they will not touch the cover once
it is installed. This is typically on the backside of the
rafter, which will be the surface visible from the
inside
of the shelter once the frame is assembled.
4. Assemble rafters as described and continue with the
additional steps to complete the assembly of the two
(2) end rafters.
END RAFTER ASSEMBLY
In addition to the steps in the previous procedure, complete
the following steps
for the two (2) end rafters only
.
1. Take one of the assembled rafters and place it on a flat
surface.
2. Slide three (3) end clamps onto the rafter in the
locations noted below. (Do not secure the clamps to
the rafter at this time. These clamps are repositioned
during the frame assembly to add the purlins.
NOTE:
Position all clamps as shown. Use a piece of
duct tape (if desired) to keep each clamp from sliding
when the rafter is lifted into position.
