Important Information
END FRAME KIT: HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
After assembling building main frame, attach steel end frame. Read this
section to learn how best to use this guide.
Not all pages apply to your end
wall frame. The phrase Ground Post Option used in this guide refers to
end frames that do not include base plates.
•
(B) Base Plate Diagrams:
Used when end wall frame includes vertical
supports and base plates that will be anchored to a concrete slab or
concrete piers.
•
(G) Without Base Plate Diagrams:
Used when end wall frame includes
vertical supports that will be set below grade and anchored in place using
customer-supplied concrete.
ROUGH DOOR OPENING:
Materials are included to frame an opening for
a pedestrian door. If a door will not be installed in the end wall, C-channel
material is not used. Always confirm rough opening dimensions by reading
the documentation included with door and by measuring the actual door
before anchoring
any framing in concrete.
ATTENTION:
Customer/contractor is responsible for installing end framing
to install door. Consult a qualified contractor to assist in framing an opening
and to complete door installation if needed. Additional purchase required for
doors and end wall cladding kits. Consult documentation with those items for
additional details.
REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed to assemble end frame.
Additional tools and supports may be needed depending on the structure,
location, and application.
• Tape measure or measuring device
• Marker to mark the location on tubing.
• Variable speed drill and impact driver (cordless with extra batteries works
best)
• Metal file and metal-cutting saw
• Wrenches and impact socket set
• Hammers, gloves, and eye protection
• Adjustable pliers and self-locking pliers
• Ladders, work platforms, and other machinery for lifting designed to work
safely at building and end frame height.
ATTENTION:
Consult the services of a qualified, professional contractor if
you are not familiar with constructing similar frame structures.
The individuals assembling this end frame are responsible for designing
and furnishing all temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who are not familiar with
recognized construction methods and techniques must seek the help of a
qualified contractor.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear eye, hand, and head protection.
• Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) when working with
power tools and cords.
• Do not climb on framing during or after construction.
• Do not occupy the shelter during high winds, tornadoes, or hurricanes.
• Provide adequate ventilation if the structure is enclosed.
• Do not store hazardous materials in the shelter.
• Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent entrapment.
