Interior Rafters
1. Select the tubing for the
first interior rafter assembly
and position it on the ground as shown.
2. Insert the 4-way square tube fittings (#104627) into the
rafter pipes as shown below and secure them using Tek
screws.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to the main cover,
install Tek screws so the heads do not contact the
cover when installed.
3. Connect the leg extensions using the 1.75" x 1.75"
square tube insert (#104075). (See the Base Rail
assembly steps if needed.) Place the insert 8" into each
tube and secure using Tek screws.
4. Repeat the steps for all remaining interior rafters.
5. Once all rafter assemblies are complete, continue with
the
Frame Assembly
instructions that follow.
RAFTER ASSEMBLY (continued)
FRAME ASSEMBLY
The following instructions assume the 104624 fittings (rafter
feet) are properly spaced on each base rail.
ATTENTION:
If the site is not level as recommended,
you must take the necessary steps to level the site before
continuing. The frame will not assemble properly without a
level site.
Gather the parts:
• Rafter assemblies, base rails and end conduits.
• 58" square tubes (#S20P058)
• Tek screws and magnetic nut setter 3/8'' x 2-9/16"
1. Stand the first end rafter and place the leg pipes on the
first set of 104624 fittings on the base rails.
NOTE:
Point the free ends of the 3-way fittings toward
the next rafter position.
2. Anchor the end rafter with ropes or other temporary
bracing.
Verify that the rafter is plumb (straight).
NOTE:
In the above diagram, ropes (identified by black
lines for clarity) are used to temporarily hold the rafter
in place.
Frame shown may differ from actual frame.
For this first end rafter, all temporary bracing
must
remain
in place until other rafters are set and attached
to the first rafter and each other.
3. Secure each rafter leg tube to each 104624 fitting using
one Tek screw as shown below.
