Revision date: 01.01.16
FINISH ROUGH EDGES
Gather the parts:
• Duct tape
• Metal file
1. Check for any sharp edges on the frame and file them
smooth so they will not cut the cover.
ANCHOR THE ASSEMBLED FRAME
At this point, anchor the high tunnel frame.
Consult the
diagrams in the Quick Start section (pages 50-51)
to
determine the anchor position for your building frame. Use
the 103937 Tent/Canopy Stake and Strap kits and AS2166
anchor shackles included with your building to anchor the
frame.
CAUTION
: The anchor assembly is an integral part of
the high tunnel construction. Improper anchoring may
cause instability and failure of the structure to perform
as designed. Failing to anchor the shelter properly
will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may cause
serious injury and damage.
2. Apply two layers of heavy duct tape on all pipe
connections and clamps that may contact the cover or
end panel or both.
3. Inspect the frame to verify that each end clamp and
cross connector is secured to the rafter and to the
purlin as shown below.
4. Verify that each rafter pipe joint and each purlin pipe
joint is secured using Tek screws.
5. Continue by anchoring the rolling high tunnel frame.
