RAFTER ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
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. Position Tek screw
approximately 1'' from pipe joint.
ATTENTION:
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 all rafters as described except for two (2)
and continue with the additional steps to assemble the
two end rafters.
END RAFTER ASSEMBLY
Complete the following steps
for the end rafters only
.
1. Assemble the two end rafters on a flat surface.
NOTE:
Do not install Tek screws into the rafter joints at
this time.
2. Slide six (6) end clamps (102857) and two (2) band
clamps (QH1404) onto the rafter in the locations noted
below. (Do not secure the clamps to the rafter at this
time. These clamps will be repositioned during the
frame assembly when the purlins are added.)
NOTE:
Position all clamps as shown. Use a piece of
duct tape to keep the clamps from sliding when the
rafter is set in place (if needed).
View below shows how to position all end clamps to
prepare for the frame assembly.
ATTENTION:
All purlins run on the inside of the frame.
3. Repeat the procedure for the remaining
end rafter
.
