legs.
2. Connect tubes #1 & #7 to create the 2 center legs.
3. Insert the centre legs and corner legs into the side connectors as in

STEP 4: SQUARE AND ANCHOR THE FRAMES
1. Check that the width measurements of the frame are 8' at both the front
and back corners, as well as across the center.
2. Take a diagonal measurement as shown in Diagram F. When these two
measures are equal the frame is square. Adjust the frame until they are
equal to within 1".
3. Once equal, check the width measurement again to ensure all widths are
equal at 8'.
4. Next, install the anchors
(Parts #22, #23 & #24) at the
4 corner legs by screwing
the removable anchor
(#22) into the ground on
the inside of the structure.
5. Secure with cable (#23)
and cable clamp (#24) (as
shown in Diagram G).

STEP 5: INSTALLING THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS
The front cover has a zippered door to allow entry to the garage. Be sure to
locate this cover at the desired end and ensure the zipper is in the closed
position while installing.
The back cover is a solid piece of fabric.
The covers are installed in the same fashion.
1. Thread the strap through the spindle of the ratchet to make sure the strap
will stay in the sleeve when assembled, Raise and lower the handle two or
three times to wind the strap onto the spindle (as shown in Diagram I1&I2).
2. Begin with the front cover and first locate the webbed strap that runs
around the perimeter at the cover.
The webbing is exposed at the peak, the shoulders and the feet of
the cover.

STEP 6: INSTALLING THE MAIN COVER
1. Lay the cover on the ground next to the frame with the inside of the cover
(the side with the pockets) facing down and the strap on the front and rear
of the frame.
2. Tie a rope to the eyelets on the cover, one each side. Another rope in the
middle helps if another person is available.
3. Pull the cover over the frame using the rope as in Diagram K, making sure
to centre the cover on the frame. There should be an equal overhang on
each corner.
4. Assemble the ratchet tie-down
(#15) to the strap ends on the four
corners of the cover. Ratchet a
few times to draw the strap onto
the spool.
5. Insert the hook on the ratchet into
the hole on the bent corner leg.
Wind the ratchet so that the
webbing overlaps itself.
6. Slide the bottom cross rails
through the fabric pockets at each leg and re-attach with clamps at each
leg. Repeat this on the other side. Push down on the cover rails to tighten
the cover before tightening all bolts completely.
