Revision date: 01.01.20
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.
2. Apply two layers of heavy duct tape on all pipe
connections and clamps that may contact the cover.
ANCHOR THE ASSEMBLED FRAME
At this point, anchor the high tunnel frame. Consult the
MUST READ document for anchoring information and
suggestions. Please call customer service for additional
assitance if needed.
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.
STRUT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
After the frame is assembled, attach a diagonal strut to the
brace band and to the baseboard.
Gather the parts:
• Struts 5' (#QH1304)
• 5/16" x 1-1/2" lag screw
• Tek screws and nut setter (3/8'' x 2-9/16 magnetic)
1. After the frame assembly is complete, verify that the
band clamp is in the proper location. See diagram
below.
2. Remove the bolt and attach a strut between the band
clamp on the end rafter. Position the strut so that it
forms a triangle as shown above.
NOTE:
Verify that the bolt heads are to the outside of
the shelter and that the end rafter is plumb before
tightening the nuts.
3. Use a lag screw to attach the strut to the customer-
supplied baseboard as shown below. Secure the strut
to the ground post using a Tek screw if no baseboard is
present (not shown).
90°
4. Install all remaining struts and tighten all band clamp
bolts.
5. Secure each band clamp to the rafter with a Tek screw.
