Complete the following steps:
ATTENTION:
The procedure that follows is applicable
when the frame was constructed using wood boards under
each rafter foot, or if baseboards were installed. If the
shelter was constructed on concrete footings, a concrete
slab, or on bare ground, alternative steps must be taken

lower ends of the anti-billow ropes.
Additional parts may be
required and must be supplied by the customer.
