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.
Next install the Slanting support tube(part #5)
and Tube Clip(part #18) that connect the Front
Arch to the first Interior Arch. The Wind
Braces give the arch assemblies strength as a
unit.Use Bolt M10X30 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.
