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.
