FRAME ASSEMBLY (continued)
10. Move to the interior rafter and align the mark on the
purlin with the center of the rafter to maintain the proper
spacing.
Interior Rafter
Align mark with
center of rafter.
Purlin
11. Verify that the rafter spacing is forty-eight inches (48")
on-center (adjust as needed) and tighten the cross
connector.
12. Secure the cross connector to the rafter and to the
purlin using Tek screws. See Quick Start section if
needed.
13. Repeat steps 5 through 12 for the remaining purlin
runs.
14. Choose another interior rafter assembly and set it
in position. DO NOT USE THE REMAINING END
RAFTER.
ATTENTION:
Do not add a band clamp. A band clamp
is only added to the
end rafters
and the
first interior
rafters
on either side.
15. Secure the rafter legs to the ground posts as previously
described and steady the rafter.
16. Remove another section of purlin pipe from each pre-
marked purlin assembly and attach these to the rafter.
17. Verify that the distance between the rafters is 48"
center-to-center.
Adjust the rafter forward or backward
as needed to maintain this dimension.
18. Secure the purlin pipe joint with a Tek screw.
19. Repeat the above steps as needed to stand and secure
the remaining interior rafters and purlins to complete
the frame assembly.
NOTE:
Slide a band clamp onto each leg of the last
interior rafter before the end rafter.
20. Slide a band clamp onto each leg of the remaining
end rafter, secure the rafter to the ground posts, and
attach the purlins to the end clamps. Verify that the
end clamps are positioned with the nut and bolt to the
inside of the assembled frame. Refer to the Quick Start
section and previous diagrams if needed.
NOTE:
If the last end rafter is plumb and the purlin
extends beyond the end of the rafter, cut the last
section of purlin pipe to the required length.
INSTALL ANGLED PURLINS
Gather the parts:
• Pipe 1.315'' x 75'' swaged (#131S075)
• Pipe 1.315'' x XX'' plain (#131P0XX)
• Pipe straps (#QH1070)
• Tek screws and duct tape
NOTE:
The angled purlins are part of the assembled
frame and run diagonally across the rafter assemblies.
Each purlin consists of 1.315" x 75" (#131S075) swaged
pipes (number is determined by shelter length) and one (1)
1.315" x XX" (#131P0XX) plain pipe.
ATTENTION:
The XX" represents the remaining length
required to complete the purlin. Consult the Side Profiles
for designated lengths
1. Select the required pipe sections for one purlin and
connect these by inserting the swaged ends of the
pipes into the plain ends until the entire purlin is
assembled.
2. Verify that each pipe joint is properly seated.
3. Using the diagram below and the Side Profile diagrams
in the Quick Start section as guides, position a purlin
diagonally and secure to each rafter it crosses with
pipe straps and Tek screws.
NOTE:
Bend the pipe strap and twist as needed to fit
the purlin at a diagonal angle.
