End Rafter Assembly Procedure
Complete the following steps
for the two end rafters only
.
1. Take two of the assembled rafters and place on a flat
surface. These will be the end rafters.
2. Attach one pipe strap (QH1070) to each end rafter in
the locations shown below.
These pipe straps are located on the inside of the rafter
legs, underside of the rafter pipe (peak), and on top
of the chord.
Do not tighten at this time
. Tighten these
after installing the purlin.
NOTE:
Except for the pipe strap located at the top of
the rafter and on top of the chord, all remaining pipe
straps shown above are installed near the pipe joints or
over the pipe joints (as shown) at that location.
3. Continue with the FRAME ASSEMBLY instructions that
follow.
ATTENTION:
Some diagrams may show the purlins
running in a slightly different location. Assemble your
building using the diagrams as a guide.
Adjust the purlins as needed to keep them running
straight and in line with each other.

chord, all remaining marks shown above are near or on
the rafter pipe joints at that location.

setting the rafters as you work toward the end of the
shelter.
