LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE
After the site is prepared, identify the location of the
shelter corners helps to square the frame after it is
assembled.
Taking these steps
before
assembling the shelter saves
time and ensures that the structure is positioned as
desired. The following procedure is a suggested method.
Its use depends on the size of the shelter, shelter
application, the footings, and the method used to anchor
the shelter.
SQUARE THE SITE
1. Identify a corner where a building rafter will be
positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact
width of the building and stake in place.
2. Sting a line at least as long as the building from the first
stake at 90°.
NOTE:
A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°
angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.
Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20
helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.
3. After squaring the position of the building and placing
a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes
to mark the base of the building.
