ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 

Following the instructions as presented will help ensure 

the proper assembly of your shelter. Failing to follow these 

steps may result in an improperly assembled and anchored 

shelter and will void all warranty and protection the owner 

is entitled. 

The steps outlining the assembly process are as follows:
1.  Verify that all parts are included in the shipment. Notify  

Customer Service for questions or concerns.

2.  Read these instructions, the Must Read document, and  

all additional documentation included with the shipment  

before

 you begin assembling the shelter.

3.  Gather the tools, bracing, ladders (and lifts), and  

assistance needed to assemble the shelter. 

4.  Check the weather 

before

 you install the roof cover 

and any panels (if equipped). Do not install covers or 

panels on a windy or stormy day.

5.  Re-evaluate the location and site based on the  

information and precautions presented in the  

documentation included with the shipment.

6.  Prepare the site (if applicable).
7.  Assemble the frame components in the order they are 

presented in these instructions.

8.  Assemble the frame including the struts (if equipped). 
9.  Consult the MUST READ document and properly  

anchor the assembled frame.

10. Install, tighten, and secure the end panel and main  

cover (if equipped). This applies to fabric covers that  

stretch over the frame assembly. Your shelter may  

include roof panels or side panels or both.

11.  Complete and return all warranty documents as 

instructed.

12. Read the Care and Maintenance information at the end  

of these instructions.

LIST OF WORDS AND PHRASES

Before you begin, it is important to become familiar with the 

words and phrases used in this instruction manual.

These words and phrases are common to most  

ClearSpan™ shelters and identify the different parts of 

the shelter. (Some are used in this document. Others may 

not apply to this particular shelter.) These terms describe 

the shipped parts and can also be found on the materials 

list/spec sheets included with the shipment. To aid in the 

assembly, read through the following definitions before you 

begin to assemble your shelter.

• 

Conduit:

 An assembly of pipes used to secure the  

main cover and end panels (if equipped). Purlins and  

some strut assemblies also consist of connected pipes  

to form a conduit. Each pipe joint of a conduit assembly  

is secured with a self-tapping Tek screw.

• 

Coupler or Fitting:

 A part of the frame assembly 

where legs, purlins and rafter pipes are inserted and  

secured. In most instances, 3-way and 4-way couplers  

are used. In some larger applications, couplers are  

used to secure the joints of the different rafter sections  

during the assembly of the rafters. Some shelters do 

not use couplers.

• 

Foot or Rafter Foot:

 The part attached to and found 

at the base of the rafter or leg of the shelter.  

Depending on the shelter, the foot is an optional  

purchase. Some shelters do not offer an optional foot.  

Some use 1-Way connectors. 

• 

Must Read Document:

 This document includes 

building and shelter anchoring instructions, steps for  

end wall reinforcement, safety precautions, and notices  

and warnings. The Must Read document is sent with all  

shelters and buildings. If you did not receive a Must  

Read document, contact Customer Service to request  

one. 

• 

On-Center:

 Term used to describe a measurement 

taken from the vertical center of the rafter or frame 

member to the vertical center of another.

• 

Purlin:

 The pipe assembly that runs perpendicular to  

the rafters or framework that supports the main cover.  

Purlins are found on the sides and roof areas of the  

assembled frame, are evenly spaced, and typically run  

from the front to the back of the shelter.

• 

Plain or Straight Pipe:

 A term used to describe a pipe  

that has the same diameter or width throughout its 

entire length. 

• 

Strut:

 A strut is usually a length of pipe with two  

flattened ends and is used for diagonal bracing of the  

shelter frame. A strut is typically secured to the frame 

work by special brackets and bolts.

• 

Swaged End or Swaged Pipe:

 The term “swaged''  

refers to the tapered end of the pipe or tube. Swaged 

ends of a pipe can be inserted into couplers and the  

straight ends of other pipes. 

• 

Tek Screw:

 A self-tapping fastener used to secure pipe  

joints and to fasten brackets to rafters.
