Attaching Arches to Base Flanges
Step #3 --ERECTING ARCHES
Begin frame assembly by erecting Front Arch
into Front Corner Base Flanges. Place left
frame sidewall tubing into the upright tube
socket into the Left Base Flange. Place
Hexagonal Bolt through base flange socket and
arch sidewall tube hole.
In order to insert Right Sidewall Tube into
Right Front Corner flange, it is necessary to
support arch on left side to prevent movement.
Position the Right Sidewall Tube over the Right
Corner Base Flange.
Once the Right Sidewall Tube is placed into
right corner base flange, insert a hexagonal bolt
and nut to prevent it from popping out of the
socket while assembly continues.
Next stand first interior arch up to repeat
insertion into Base flanges.
Immediately after putting first interior arch into
place, connect Front Arch and Interior arch using
Roof Purlin Tubes at top ridge and side shoulder
cures of arches. Secure the Roof Purlin tubes into
place using carriage bolts and nuts.
The tube
clip is
movable, so
as to find a
proper
position
Tube Clip
Next install the Wind Brace supports that connect the
Front Arch to the first Interior Arch. The Wind Braces
give the arch assemblies strength as a unit.Use Bolt
M10X30 (Part # 21) at the end of each Wind Brace
Support to secure.
Continue to install other Arches Assemblies in the same
manner. Overlap pinched ends of Roof Purlin onto same
carriage bolts inside frame assembly.
Next check entire frame assembly for square and plumb.
Next tighten frame bolts adequately.
DO NOT
over
tighten bolts so as to oval or compress frame
components.
Fix the Wind Brace Supports(part 14) to the frame.
