You will need an adjustable tape measure and a hammer to complete the steps.

Frame Assembly Procedure
1. Select two (2) pipes (one with a swaged end and one with
two plain ends) to assemble a rafter. Slide the swaged
portion of one pipe into the plain end of the other pipe as
shown. Repeat to assemble all rafters.
2. With the rafter pipes seated at the joint, determine how
much of the rafter leg you want to set into the ground and
mark this on the rafter ends. This helps set all rafters at
the same depth. Soil conditions will determine depth.
3. Layout the site and frame position using the diagram
below. All dimensions are on-center (oc).
4. With assistance, carefully stand the first end rafter and
push each end into the ground. Use the marks on the
rafter ends to gauge depth.
5. Set the remaining rafters in the ground as shown below
and continue with the cover film installation procedure.
NOTE: Purlins (additional purchase
required) can help stabilize a frame.
Please call customer service at
1-800-245-9881 for additional
information. Purlins are not
included with the 104940 kit.
