ASSEMBLE AND POSITION BASE RAILS (continued)
ATTACH 104624 FITTINGS (RAFTER FEET)
Gather the parts:
• Assembled base rails
• 1-way square tube fittings (#104624)
• Tek screws and magnetic nut setter 3/8'' x 2-9/16"
• Tape measure and marker
NOTE:
Before attaching the 104624 square tube fittings,
position the base rail so the heads of the Tek screws face
the inside or the outside of the shelter.
Do not position the rail with the Tek screws on the top
or bottom of the rails. Doing so may interfere with the
installation of the #104624 fittings for the rafters.
1. After connecting the tubes of the two base rails,
measure 4" in from one end of a base rail and mark the
location.
2. Beginning at the mark made in Step 1
, measure 60"
and mark a second line on the base rail.
3. Continue marking the base rail in 60" intervals. These
marks represent the 5' on-center rafter positions.
4. Center the first square tube fitting (#104624) on the first
mark and secure it to the top of the base rail using four
(4) Tek screws as shown below.
5. Center a square tube fitting (#104624) on each
remaining mark and secure the fitting to the rail using
Tek screws.

NOTE:
Rafter spacing is measured center-to-center.
7. Position base rails on the site where the shelter will be
assembled. Space rails at the approximate width of the
shelter.
ATTENTION:
Do not anchor the rails to the site at this
time.
8. After the base rails are assembled and positioned on
the site, continue with the rafter assembly steps.
