Secure the edge trim to the back of the #38948 sled using
the included #6 X 1/2 IN Philips drive screws.
Start with a screw center of sled back, then one at each
end corner, then split the difference between the corners
and middle. Next, place screws at the corner on each side,
and one at each end of the edge trim. Finally, split the
difference between corner and end on the side, and place
remaining screws equally spaced between existing screws
on the back. See
Figure 12
.
NOTE: Make sure the skin is tight and even before installing
the edge trim screws. It will be easier to make adjustments
before all the screws have been installed.

(A)
Shorten the front (#36628) spreader poles by 1
inch, still leaving them attached. Also shorten the back
(#27730) spreader pole by 1 inch. This will ensure there is
appropriate tension on the skin while in use, without the
need for spreader poles. The skin and frame should be self-
standing without spreaders once the edge trim is attached.
(B)
Locate the 8'10" rubber edge trim included in the parts
box. Find the center of the length of edge trim. This will be
the starting point during the assembly of the edge trim to
the skin.
(C)
Move to the rear of the shelter and locate the center of
the #38948 sled. This will be the point where the edge trim
will be attached first.
(D)
Pull down on the skin at the center-back of the skin,
being sure to apply tension below the point of attachment.
While maintaining tension, push the edge trim onto the
sled lip and begin working it around the sled. Maintain
tension in front of the edge trim being pushed on, as this
will keep the skin tight and free of wrinkles.

ASSEMBLY TIPS FOR STEPS 12 & 13:
• It is recommended to secure the entire back of the skin before
working the edge trim around the corners of each sled. This
will keep the skin even and prevent any more or less fabric
being pulled from one side.
• The edge trim attachment can be re-done until satisfactory
results are achieved. This is recommended, as it will increase
the performance of the shelter.
• Once the edge trim is satisfactory, remove all spreader poles and
ensure the skin is self-supporting correctly, before permanently
fixing the edge trim with screws.
• We recommend the use of a cordless drill during
STEP 13
.
The rubberized edge trim has a metal core to provide
additional structure, but is also sometimes difficult to
screw through. It is important to place screws higher on
the width of the edge trim to make sure full contact is made
with the sled.
