Upon completion the gable end frame should take on this configuration prior to leg installation. Assembly is similar to
the Future Trac assembly process in that the arch assembly is built first, using Keder rafters, crown clusters (gable
end), corner brackets (gable end), and roof tension cables. The only difference is the addition of a gable end upright
and special intermediate bracket. See the illustrations below for the assembly process.
