INTERIOR RAFTER ASSEMBLY
Complete the following steps 

for the interior rafters

1.  Select the pipes for the first interior rafter assembly and 

position these on the ground as shown. 

 

(#26G166SS401D)

(#166S099)

(#26G166SS403)

IMPORTANT:

 Interior rafters do not use end clamps. 

Instead, cross connectors are attached during the 

frame assembly.

2.  Insert the swaged ends of the rafter pipes into the plain 

ends of the pipes and secure each joint with a Tek 

screw. 

 

NOTE:

 For longer frames, it may be easier to assemble 

a few rafters at a time and then begin to assemble the 

frame.

3.  Once rafters are assembled, assemble the frame.

FRAME ASSEMBLY

After all ground posts are driven in place and rafters are 

assembled, assemble the frame. 

NOTE: 

The baseboards (strongly recommended) shown in 

the diagrams throughout these instructions are not included 

and must be supplied by the customer.

 

Contact Customer service at 1-800-245-9881 to purchase 

baseboards, or for additional information. 

ASSEMBLE AND PRE-MARK THE PURLINS 

The following steps describe one way to speed the 

assembly process and eliminate the need to measure each 

purlin as it is installed. Pre-marking the purlins ensures that 

an accurate spacing of the rafter assemblies is achieved 

and maintained during assembly. 

Gather the Parts:
•  Pipe 1.315'' x 75'' Swaged (#131S075)
•  Pipe 1.315'' x XX'' Plain (#131P0XX)
•  Marker and Tape Measure

 

NOTE:

 The purlins are part of the assembled frame and 

run perpendicular to the rafter assemblies. Each purlin 

consists of 1.315" x 75" (#131S075) swaged pipes (number 

is determined by shelter length) and one (1) 1.315" x XX" 

(#131P0XX) plain pipe. 

 

ATTENTION:

 The XX" represents the remaining length 

required to reach the end of the shelter. Consult the Spec 

Sheet for part identification.
1.  Select the required pipe sections for one purlin and 

connect these by inserting the swaged ends of the 

pipes into the plain ends until the entire purlin is 

assembled. 

 

NOTE:

 Assemble the purlins in a location that is 

accessible during the assembly of the frame, but will 

not interfere with the process of lifting and setting the 

rafters.

2.  Verify that each pipe joint is properly seated. 

 

NOTE:

 These pipes must be separated during the 

assembly procedure. Do not fasten them together at 

this time.

3.  For the 48" rafter spacing, measure forty-eight and 

three-quarters inches (48-3/4") from one end of the 

assembled purlin and mark the distance on the pipe. 

 

NOTE:

 This first measurement is three-quarters (3/4) 

of an inch longer than the on-center rafter spacing 

to account for the length of purlin pipe that extends 

through the end purlin clamp of the first end rafter.
