Strut Assembly Procedure 
1.  After the rafter assembly is complete, verify that the 

band clamps are in the proper location. See diagram 

below. Install the clamps if needed.

2.  Remove the bolts and attach a strut between the band 

clamp on the purlin and the band clamp on the end 

rafter. Position the strut so that it forms a triangle as 

shown below. 

 

NOTE:

 Verify that the bolt heads are to the outside of 

the shelter and that the end rafter is plumb before  

tightening the nuts.

3.  Install the remaining struts and tighten all band clamp 

bolts.

4.  Secure each band clamp to the purlin and to the rafter 

using a Tek screw for each connection.

5.  Return to each purlin joint and secure using a Tek 

screw.

SQUARE THE ASSEMBLED FRAME

Gather the parts:
•  Measuring tape
•  Tek Screws 

Complete these steps:
1.  Square the frame by measuring diagonally corner-to-

corner and align all rafters as shown below.

2.  Verify that the 

width of each rafter

 is 26' center-to- 

center. 

FINISH ROUGH EDGES

Gather the parts:
•  Duct tape 
•  Metal file
1.  Check for any sharp edges on the frame and file them 

smooth so they will not cut the cover.

2.  Apply two layers of heavy duct tape on all pipe  

connections and clamps that may contact the cover.

NOTE:

 The frame is square when the two diagonal 

measurements are the same.

ANCHOR THE SHELTER

At this point, anchor the shelter. Consult the MUST READ 

document for anchoring information and suggestions. 

Please call customer service at 1-800-245-9881 for 

additional anchoring information.

CAUTION

: The anchor assembly is an integral part of

the shelter construction. Improper anchoring may 

cause shelter instability and failure of the structure 

to perform as designed. Failing to anchor the shelter 

properly will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may 

cause serious injury and damage.
