Frame Assembly
Assembling and positioning the End base and center base Rails:
1. Lay out the four End Base Rails (5) and two Center Base Rails (6) in the assembly
area. (See figure A).
2. Slide the End Base Rails (5) and Cen-
ter Base Rails (6) together rmly, but
do not secure with screws yet.
3. Measure across the diagonal of the
frame to check that it is square.
Adjust the frame until the
measurements are equal.
figure A
4. After you have completed all
mea
surements and have the End Base (5) and Center Base (6) Rails in place and square, screw
the joints together with two Screws (8) per joint on the top surface of the Base Rails. (See
figure A.)
Assembling the Arches
1. Before assembling the arches, stack the Peak Tubes (2). Line up their ends and mark
a line on the top of each Peak Tube
13/4” from one end. This will be the
location of the edge of your rst run of
Roof Panels (1) on the roof of the
Shelter. (See figure B.)

Anchoring the base
WARNING
• Before anchoring, verify that the ground where the Stakes are to installed is free of
any underground utility lines.
• Securing methods will vary drastically depending on the type of foundation used. If
in doubt about the stability or practicality of a particular method, consult a profes-

Panel is square with the Panel above, then install Screws (8) on all edges where another
panel will not connect, as shown in figure g.
5. Remember to seal each two Panel connection using Tape (10).
6. Install all panels in a similar fashion, securing all parts with screws. Install the panels
from the peak down.
7. When nished installing the Panels (1), run a length of Edge Trim (9) along all exposed
edges of the roof panels. Install the Trim with its longer edge on top/outside and its
short edge on bottom/inside.
