The following list identifies the main tools needed to
assemble the shelter. Additional tools and supports may be
needed depending on the structure, location, and

• Variable speed drill and impact driver (cordless with
extra batteries works best)

wrench
• Scissors, utility knife, or tin snips
• Hammers, gloves and eye protection
• Adjustable pliers and self-locking pliers
• Ladders, work platforms, and other machinery for lifting

UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS
The following steps will ensure that you have all the
necessary parts
before
you begin to assemble the shelter
frame.
1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and place where
you can easily inventory the parts. Refer to the Bill of
Materials/Spec Sheets.
2. Verify that all parts listed on the Bill of Materials/Spec
Sheets are present. If anything is missing or you have
questions, consult the Pictorial Parts Guide and all
diagrams for clarification, or contact Customer Service.
NOTE:
At this time, you do not need to open the plastic
bags containing smaller parts such as fasteners or
washers (if equipped).
BASEBOARDS AND RIBBON BOARDS
The drop-down curtain requires a ribbon board to secure its
upper section and a baseboard to secure its lower section.
The materials for these components are not included and
are
supplied by the customer
.
The example
shows the required
ribbon board and
baseboard as
attached to the
frame.
Ribbon Board
Baseboard
A customer-supplied baseboard and retaining board are
also required to attach the curtain's lower edge. See the
exploded view that follows.
The baseboard runs the length of the frame at ground level.
The retaining board secures the curtain to the baseboard.
The baseboard and retaining board are supplied by the
customer.
Fasteners (1/4" x 4" carriage bolts and FA4652 wood
screws) are included. Depending on board width, use 2
carriage bolts per rafter connection for the baseboard and
ribbon board. Evenly space the wood screws at 24".
ATTENTION:
Consult the Main Cover Details diagram in
the Quick Start section of this manual to determine where
to install the ribbon board.
The ribbon board consists of two runs of material; the first
is a 2" x 4" or 2" x 6" board attached to the building frame
and the second is a 1" x 4" board attached to the first
board. These boards, when assembled properly, provide
a channel that secures the curtain when it is in the up or
closed position. Boards are secured to the frame using the
supplied 1/4" x 4" carriage bolts and to each other using the
FA4652 supplied fasteners.
