Part 1
F5.1
A:
On a hard, flat surface place one Short Beam Assembly against the outside of two Main Posts, flush to the tops
and outside corners. Notice the short side of the Main Post Assembly is along the Short Beam Assembly and hole
on long side of the post is closer to the beam. Attach Beam to Post, through the bottom hole, with one 3/8 x 12-
1/4” Hex Bolt (with two 3/8” large washers and one 3/8” lock nut) per Main Post. (F5.1 and F5.2)
The distance from the outside of one Main Post to the outside of the second Main Post should be 10’ 10-3/8”. See
F5.3 for accurate positioning of Posts.
B:
Repeat for second Short Beam Assembly on remaining two Main Posts. These will now be referred to as Short
Side Assemblies. (F5.1 and F5.2)
