SQUARE THE ASSEMBLED FRAME
Gather the Parts:
• Measuring tape
• Tek Screws
Complete these steps:
1. Square the frame by measuring diagonally corner-to-
corner, and align all rafters as shown below.
2. Verify that the on-center width of each rafter is 10'.
END CONDUITS ASSEMBLY
Gather the Parts:
• Pipe 1.315'' x 49.5'' plain (2). Cut to 47”.
• Pipe 1.315'' x 75'' swaged (2)
• T-Fittings
• Duct tape (supplied by customer)
• Metal-Cutting Saw
• Tek Screws
Assembly Procedure
1. Locate the end conduit pipes and T-fittings. Each end
conduit consists of one (1) 49.5” pipe, one (1) 75”
pipe, and two (2) T-fittings. Two (2) end conduits are
required.
NOTE:
To maintain the 10' on-center width of the
frame, cut each 49.5” pipe to 47” long.

2. Assemble an end conduit by connecting a 75'' swaged
pipe to a 47'' plain pipe and secure the joint using a
Tek screw. Tape over the Tek screw to protect the end
panel. Repeat assembly for the remaining end conduit.
3. Add the T-fittings at the ends of the conduits.
NOTE:
Do not insert the end conduit pipes all the way
into the T-fittings, but instead allow room for the end
rafter to be inserted later.
NOTE:
The frame is square when the two diagonal
measurements are the same.
3. Tape all rafter splices with duct tape to protect the main
cover when it is installed.
4. Verify that all pipe splices and clamps are secured
using Tek screws.
FINISH ROUGH EDGES
Gather the Parts:
• Duct tape (supplied by customer)
• Metal file (may not be needed)
1. Check for any sharp edges on the frame and file them
smooth so they will not cut the cover.
2. Apply two layers of heavy duct tape on all pipe
connections and clamps that may contact the cover.
3. Wrap all end rafter and purlin connections to protect the
cover when it is installed.
Dashed line in the diagram
shows the end of the purlin
pipe as seen from outside
the shelter frame. Tape is
applied to protect the main
cover during and after
installation.
