Step 4: Squaring up frame
●Be sure the frame is standing at the desired location.
●Level the frame both end-to-end and side-to-side.
●Check that the frame measures 8' (244 cm) in width (fig. 11).
●Measure the distance between the interior of the frame feet diagonally.
The sections A to B and C to D should be of equal length (fig. 11). If they
are not of equal length, tap the corner leg of the longer section (using a
rubber mallet) inward until both diagonals are equal.

frame is properly anchored.
●If the ground is hard or rocky, pre-drill holes before
inserting the anchors.
●Four anchors (21) are provided to secure the shed. They are to be
installed around the bent corner legs (3) at each corner of the shed.
●Screw the anchor head into the ground.
●Insert the cable (22) through the eyelets of the anchor (21) and the bent
corner leg (3). Secure the cable (22) with the cable clamp (23) (fig. 12).
●Repeat the same procedure for the other three anchors (21).

Caution!
●If small adjustments are needed, two people should
pull the roof tarp (18) from the same side so that it
does not twist.
●loosen the bottom cross rails (6) from the frame. Slide the cross bottom
rails (6) through the tube sleeves on one side of the roof tarp (18).
Re-assemble the clamps (12) (13)and fitting (15, 16, 17) and tighten
●Make sure the cross rails (6) are level and horizontal.

●Repeat the same procedure for the opposite side of the roof tarp (18).
●Check and make sure all the bottom cross rails (6) are level and
horizontal, and are of the same height from the ground.
●Tighten all the nuts and bolts at this stage.
●Fasten the black straps at the four corners with the ratchet tie-down (14).
For details, see the corresponding instructions on page 7.
●Now the shed is ready for use.
Caution!
●Check and tighten the bottom cross rails (6) and
ratchets (14) monthly to ensure that the roof tarp
(18) is tight and safe.
