LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure.
The following suggestions and precautions will help you
determine whether your selected location is the best
location.
Never erect the structure under power lines.
Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
present before preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
Location should be away from structures that could
cause snow to drift on or around the building.
Do not position the shelter where large loads such as
snow and ice, large tree branches, or other overhead
obstacles could fall.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is
essential. Follow the information below.
A level site is required. The site must be level to
properly and safely erect and anchor the structure.
For sites that are not concrete or gravel, placing wood
blocks or other suitable supports under each rafter leg
helps prevent the pipes from sinking or working into the
site.
Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from
areas surrounding the site should drain away from the
site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
contents of the structure.
WARNING: The individuals assembling this structure
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who
are not familiar with recognized construction methods
and techniques must seek the help of a qualified
contractor.

to form a conduit. Each pipe joint of a conduit assembly
is secured with a self-tapping Tek screw.
Coupler or Fitting: A part of the frame assembly
where legs, purlins and rafter pipes are inserted and
secured. In most instances, 3-way and 4-way couplers
are used. In some larger applications, couplers are
used to secure the joints of the different rafter sections
during the assembly of the rafters. Some shelters do
not use couplers.
Foot or Rafter Foot: The part attached to and found
at the base of the rafter or leg of the shelter.
Depending on the shelter, the foot is an optional
purchase. Some shelters do not offer an optional foot.
Some use 1-way connectors.

building and shelter anchoring instructions, steps for
end wall reinforcement, safety precautions, and notices
and warnings. The Must Read document is sent with all
shelters and buildings. If you did not receive a Must
Read document, contact Customer Service to request
one.
On-Center: Term used to describe a measurement
taken from the vertical center of the rafter or frame
member to the vertical center of another.
Purlin: The pipe assembly that runs perpendicular to
the rafters or framework that supports the main cover.
Purlins are found on the sides and roof areas of the
assembled frame, are evenly spaced, and typically run
from the front to the back of the shelter.
Plain or Straight Pipe: A term used to describe a pipe
that has the same diameter or width throughout its
entire length.
Strut: A strut is usually a length of pipe with two
flattened ends and is used for diagonal bracing of the
shelter frame. A strut is typically secured to the frame
work by special brackets and bolts.
Swaged End or Swaged Pipe: The term “swaged''
refers to the tapered end of the pipe or tube. Swaged
ends of a pipe can be inserted into couplers and the
straight ends of other pipes.

LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE
After the site is prepared, identify the location of the shelter
corners helps to square the frame after it is assembled.
Taking these steps before assembling the shelter saves
time and ensures that the structure is positioned as
desired. The following procedure is a suggested method.
Its use depends on the size of the shelter, shelter
application, the footings, and the method used to anchor
the shelter.
SQUARE THE SITE
Identify a corner where a building rafter will be
positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact
width of the building and stake in place.
Sting a line at least as long as the building from the first
stake at 90°.

Rafter Assembly Procedure:
Each rafter assembly consists of five (5) rafter sections:
1 curved center pipe (for the top or peak), 2 curved leg
pipes, and 2 straight pipes that connect the legs to the top
center pipe.
Select the five (5) pipes needed to assemble a rafter
and arrange these on a flat surface as shown below for
assembly.
1.
Slide the swaged portion of each rafter pipe into the
plain end of the pipe as shown.
2.
NOTE: A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°
angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.
Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20
helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.
After squaring the position of the building and placing
a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes
to mark the base of the building.

RAFTER ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
END RAFTER ASSEMBLY
In addition to the steps in the previous procedure, complete
the following steps for the two end rafters only.
Take one of the assembled rafters and place it on a flat
surface.
Slide seven (7) end clamps onto the rafter in the
locations noted below. (Do not secure the clamps to the
rafter at this time. These clamps will be repositioned
during the frame assembly when the purlins are
added.)
NOTE: All clamps must be positioned as shown below.
Use a piece of duct tape to keep the clamps from
sliding when the rafter is set in place.
1.
2.
View of the end rafter and clamps as shown from the
outside when the frame is assembled.
Repeat the same procedure for the final end rafter.3.
With the main rafter pipes seated at each joint and the
rafter positioned on a flat surface, secure each joint
with a single self-tapping Tek screw. Position Tek screw
approximately 1'' from pipe joint.
3.
ATTENTION: Install the screws so they will not touch
the cover once it is installed. This is typically on the
backside of the rafter, which will be the surface visible
from the inside of the shelter once the frame is
assembled.
Assemble rafters as described and continue with the
additional steps to complete the assembly of the two
end rafters.
4.
ASSEMBLE AND PRE-MARK THE PURLINS
Pre-marking the purlins speeds the assembly process
and eliminates the need to measure each purlin as it is
installed. In addition, these steps ensure that an accurate
spacing of the rafter assemblies is achieved.
Required Pipe:
1.315" x 75" swaged pipe (#131S075)
1.315" x 25.5" plain pipe (#131P0255)
NOTE: Purlins are part of the assembled frame and run
perpendicular to the rafter assemblies. There are seven (7)
purlins that run perpendicular to the rafter assemblies.
Each purlins consists of three (3) 1.315" x 75" (#131S075)
swaged pipes and one (1) 1.315" x 25.5" (#131P0255)
plain pipe.
Select the required pipe sections for one purlin and
connect these by inserting the swaged ends of the
pipes into the plain ends until the entire purlin is
assembled.
NOTE: Assemble the purlins in a location that is
accessible during the assembly of the frame, but will
not interfere with the process of lifting and setting the
rafters.
Verify that each pipe joint is properly seated.
NOTE: These pipes are taken apart during the
assembly procedure. Do not fasten them together at
this time.
For the 5' rafter spacing, measure 60-3/4" from the
short plain pipe, used to complete each purlin run, of
the assembled purlin, and mark the distance on the
pipe.
NOTE: This first measurement is three-quarters (3/4)
of an inch longer than the on-center rafter spacing
to account for the length of purlin pipe that extends
through the end purlin clamp of the first end rafter.
From the location marked in the previous step,
measure sixty inches (60") and make another mark.
Continue to mark the purlin in 60" intervals until all
locations are marked. These marks help to maintain
the 5' on-center rafter spacing of the shelter during
assembly.
Repeat this procedure until all assembled purlins are
marked.
After assembling all rafters and pre-marking the purlins,
continue with assembling the frame.

Cross connectors (#102547)
Tek screws (#FA4482B)
Frame Assembly Procedure:
After all rafters are constructed and placed in an orderly
fashion for frame assembly, proceed with standing the first
end rafter.
Forklifts and personnel booms are recommended for lifting
and setting the rafters. Consult a construction professional
if you are not familiar with construction techniques and
erecting similar structures.
ATTENTION: Use the proper lifts. Rafter assemblies are
heavy and awkward to handle. The following photos show
a rafter design may different from actual shelter, photos are
used for illustration purposes only.
With the proper lift, lift the first end rafter. This rafter
includes end clamps (installed earlier).

Anchor the first rafter with ropes or other temporary
bracing. Verify that the rafter is plumb (straight).
2.
NOTE: In the previous photo, ropes (identified by white
lines for clarity) were used to temporarily anchor the
rafter in place. For this first end rafter, all temporary
bracing must remain in place until other rafters are set
in place and attached to the first rafter and to each
other.
Set the second rafter (first inside rafter) in place and
secure it to the rafter feet.
3.
NOTE: Position someone at each leg to stabilize the
rafter and to keep the rafter from tipping. Additional lifts
or assistants may be needed.
Place a cross-connector (#102547) over the peak of
the inside rafter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The purlin should extend through
the clamp at the peak of the end rafter but it must not
extend beyond the outside edge of the end rafter, as it
will damage the main cover when the cover is installed.

FRAME ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
Align the pre-marked location on the purlin with the
center of the inside rafter to achieve the proper rafter
spacing and tighten the cross-connector.
7.
NOTE: If needed, use a hammer to tap the cross-
connector and the purlin to the center mark.
Verify that both rafters are plumb and that the 5' on-
center rafter spacing is maintained after both clamps
are tightened.
You may need to loosen the clamp on the end rafter
and adjust the purlin if the second rafter is plumb but
the mark on the purlin does not align with the center of
the mid rafter.
DO NOTALLOW THE PURLIN TO EXTEND BEYOND
THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE END RAFTER.
After tightening the cross-connector, install a Tek screw
(#FA4482B) through the cross-connector and into the
purlin. Position the Tek screw so that it also secures the
joint of the purlin pipe.
8.
The first purlin and the first two rafters should appear
as shown below.
Reposition the rafter legs of the first interior rafter (if
needed) to achieve and maintain the 5' on-center rafter
spacing and the 22' center-to-center width.
Select the first section of the second pre-marked purlin
and install it as you did the top/center purlin.
NOTE: Slide the purlin through the cross-connector
as shown below at the joint of the curved leg pipe and
long straight pipe.

Repeat the steps to install the first section of the next
purlin. See the arrow in the following diagram.
NOTE: Do not remove the temporary bracing until
additional rafters are in place.
14.
To this point, the assembled frame includes two rafters
and three purlins as shown.
After attaching the first section of the third purlin to the
rafters, move up the rafter assembly and place a cross-
connector over the mid rafter pipe and install the first
sections of the next two (2) purlins.
15.
Verify that the rafters are plumb, align the mark on the
purlins with the center of the rafter, and secure the
purlins in place.
Secure the connectors and clamps to the purlins using
Tek screws.
NOTE: All cross-connectors and clamps on the end
rafters are secured to the rafters with Tek screws. All
purlin pipe splices are secured with Tek screws.
