Prepare and Square Building Site
PREPARE BUILDING SITE
A level site is required to accurately and safely construct building. Consult
the services of a qualified contractor to properly grade and prepare site.
Site should slope away from building for proper water drainage.
After site is prepared, mark locations of frame corners to square frame
position. Taking these steps before shelter assembly begins saves time and
ensures that structure is square and positioned as desired.
The following procedures are suggested methods. Their use depends on
shelter size, shelter use, footings (if applicable), and the method used to
anchor the shelter.
When in doubt, consult the services of a qualified contractor experienced
with the construction of similar structures.
Ground Posts
Ground posts can be set in concrete as described within this manual. Or,
anchor building frame as described in the MUST READ document.
SQUARE SITE: GENERAL STEPS
1. Identify a corner where a ground post will be set, drive a stake, and
string a line the building width. Stake in place. (Width of frame is
measured from center-to-center of ground posts.)
2. After placing first corner stake, string a line the frame width (center-to-
center of ground posts) and drive second corner stake.
3. String a line longer than the building 90° from the line between the first
and second stakes.
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.
4. After squaring frame position, measure length and drive the third corner
stake.
5. Repeat the same step to set last corner stake.
NOTE: The distance measured diagonally between corner stakes must
be equal for building to be square.
SET GROUND POSTS IN CONCRETE
Sandy or loose soil requires setting ground posts in concrete. Review
the layout diagrams for additional details. Follow all local and regional
building codes during construction.
Enlist the services of a professional and competent contractor to
prepare site and set ground posts.
Failing to secure ground posts in concrete as required may result in
damage to frame, frame contents, and surrounding property and may
void warranty.
Shelter width is measured from ground post center to ground post center.
Length is also measured ground post center-to-center.

MARK SITE AND DIG POST HOLES FOR CONCRETE
These steps describe marking all ground post locations and digging holes. For some sites, it may not be
possible to complete the procedure in this manner. An alternative procedure such as working from one end
of the building toward the other may be necessary. Determine the best procedure based on site and other
factors and proceed as needed.
NOTE: Refer to Quick Start Section located near the back of these instructions for Side Profile and
related diagrams.
If you are not setting ground posts in concrete and are anchoring frame as described in the MUST
READ document, do not auger holes for ground posts. Instead, follow the steps to mark ground
post locations and drive posts into the ground at those locations. See information below and on
next page.
Complete these steps:
1. Stake building outline using string line and batter boards. Set batter boards 3' back from the
building corners. Check to ensure that building layout is square. Cover or panels (if equipped)
will not install properly if frame is not square once assembled.
2. Consult diagrams in Quick Start section to verify frame length and width dimensions and to
accurately position ground posts.
3. Guided by string line, use a flag or stake to mark each ground post hole location.
4. Move string line and dig a post hole a minimum of two
feet (2') deep or to a depth that is below geographic frost
line. Consult local building codes. A power auger works
best. Minimum hole diameter is 12".
5. After digging all holes, reattach string line to batter
boards and use it as a guide to set and align ground
posts.

SET GROUND POSTS
Required parts and equipment:
• Ground Posts
• Equipment to level and brace posts
NOTE: Concrete (customer-supplied) is required to secure all ground post in the holes. Set all posts the same height for proper assembly. Position all mounting
holes to point toward the inside/outside of frame. Use holes in ground posts to attach post to customer-supplied framing when setting posts.
Consult the services of a qualified contractor if needed to properly set posts. Here are the basic steps:
1. Take one ground post, measure 24" from the end opposite bolt holes, and mark the location on ground post. Repeat to mark all ground posts.
2. With assistance, brace all posts in place. See diagram below. All posts to be plumb before adding concrete. Use mounting holes in posts and customer-
supplied fasteners and stakes to hold posts in place.
3. Add concrete to anchor posts in holes. Fill hole so concrete remains below finished grade.
ATTENTION: Ground posts include pre-drilled rafter mounting bolt holes and
holes to attach baseboards. Position holes to point outside/inside the frame.
Set Ground Posts
ATTENTION: Whether driving posts or anchoring
in concrete, set top of posts at the same height.
Drive or set posts in concrete 24" below nished
grade. Top of post is 12" above grade.
Use customer-supplied materials
to construct braces.

Cover Installation – Blackout Material (B) & Film (C)
Black/silver (B) and clear film (C) cover installations are described in this section. Consult cover details page in Quick Start section before
continuing for general overview of connections. Pay close attention to instructions that pertain to the cover material shipped with your tunnel.
COVER INSTALLATION
Gather parts:
• Clear Film Cover: 102197 U-channel & 102198 spring wire
• Black/Silver Cover: 110155 Aluminum Bar Stock (field cut to fit if needed)
• FA4474B Tek screws
• Cover conduit pipe: 131S075 & 131P0735
WARNING: To prevent damage to cover and to prevent
serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to install main
cover on windy or stormy days.
To install black/silver cover, skip Step 1 and begin with Step 2. To install clear
film cover, begin with Step 1:
1. Attach 102197 u-channel to peak purlin using FA4474B Tek screws
spaced 24" on-center. Cut final section of u-channel to length if needed.
See cover details page in Quick Start section for additional information.
2. Assemble 1.315" roll-up conduits – one for each side. See side profile
diagrams in Quick Start section for details and pipe identification.
NOTE: Secure each pipe splice with a Tek screw and wrap connection
with duct tape to protect material.
3. Once assembled, position a conduit along each side of frame.
4. With assistance, carefully stage and pull cover onto frame. For some
frames, the over-the-top dimension is similar to frame length dimension.
Determine cover orientation by measuring material first. Material typically
drapes down each side to ground. Approximately 12" should extend
beyond frame at each end rafter. If material doesn't seem to fit, rotate it
90° and check fit. Be careful not to damage material in the process.
5. Once material is correctly oriented on frame, square its position and add
weight along one side to hold in place. See photo above. Inset shows
cover conduit in grass along panel edge.
NOTE: For visibility, photos show black/silver material used for cover
installation examples. Have assistants hold cover material in place on
frame on side that is not weighted down.
