  • Page 7: Section B - Rafter Assembly

    Section B - Rafter Assembly Step 1: Locate the 6 sections of pipe to make a rafter. This will include two swaged sections labeled “1” which are straight at one end and curved at the other, two sections labeled “2” and “3” which are curved throughout but “2”...
  • Page 8 Step 4: Secure each connection by inserting a Tek screw into the side of the arch. Tip: Tek screws are self-drilling and no pilot hole is usually required. If you have trouble getting a Tek screw to “bite,” try another Tek screw (or you can drill a 3/16" pilot hole). Step 5: Repeat the steps above to assemble all remaining rafters using the same procedures.
  • Page 9 Step 7: Slide a 1.66" band clamp over each end of the rafter and up the rafter a few feet. These will be used to secure the struts. Step 8: Slide another set of Purlin End Clamps onto each end of the rafter. These will be be used at the lower ends of the rafter and will “trap”...
  • Page 10: Section C - Rafter Setup

    Section C - Rafter Setup Step 1: Stand up one of your end rafters (one of those with the band clamps attached). Secure it to an existing structure if possible so that it is plumb. If you donʼt have an existing structure, you can use some 2x4s as shown tied with rope: Step 2: Insert purlins into the clamps at the bottoms of the end rafter and tighten the clamps.
  • Page 11 Step 5: One at a time, slide purlins through the rest of the clamps and tighten the bolts with the ends of the purlins a half inch past the edges of the clamps on the end rafter. Step 6: After you have installed the first two rafters, slide a 1.315" band clamp onto each of the two bottom purlins (before you go on to attach the third rafter).
  • Page 12 Step 8: Continue adding rafters (at the proper spacing) and purlins until the inside rafters are in place between the two end rafters. Remember to use the other end rafter last. Step 9: Using 1-1/2" carriage bolts and nuts, attach struts between the end rafter just installed and bottom purlins as you did at the other end of the frame.
  • Page 13: Section D - Finish Rough Edges

    Section D - Finish Rough Edges Step 1: Check for any sharp edges on the frame and file them smooth so they will not cut the cover. Step 2: Apply two layers of heavy duct tape on all pipe connections and clamps that may contact the cover.
  • Page 14: Section E - Install Main Cover

    Section E - Install Main Cover Step 1: Fasten a ratchet to the end rafter with a Tek screw in the bottom hole of the ratchet. The ratchet should be as low as possible and still operable. Repeat this step in all four corners. Step 2: On the side of the shelter, identify the rafters where you will install side ratchets.
  • Page 15 Step 4: Make up a pair of cover conduits each the length of your shelter. Start each with an unswaged section and add swaged sections to arrive at the correct length. Warning: DO NOT INSTALL COVER ON A WINDY DAY AS DAMAGE TO IT MAY RESULT! Step 5: Unpack the main cover and unfold it completely with the inside surface facing up.
  • Page 16 Step 10: Remove the ropes and position the cover evenly on all four sides. Warning: Do not leave the cover unattended until it has been secured in all four corners. Step 11: In the front and rear hems, locate the black straps. Feed the strap through the center slot in the ratchets and tighten down all four corners slightly.
