Prepare and Square Building Site

PREPARE BUILDING SITE

A level site is required to accurately and safely construct building. Consult

the services of a qualified contractor to properly grade and prepare site.

Site should slope away from building for proper water drainage.

After site is prepared, mark locations of frame corners to square frame

position. Taking these steps before shelter assembly begins saves time and

ensures that structure is square and positioned as desired.

The following procedures are suggested methods. Their use depends on

shelter size, shelter use, footings (if applicable), and the method used to

anchor the shelter.

When in doubt, consult the services of a qualified contractor experienced

with the construction of similar structures.

Ground Posts

Ground posts can be set in concrete as described within this manual. Or,

anchor building frame as described in the MUST READ document.

SQUARE SITE: GENERAL STEPS

1. Identify a corner where a ground post will be set, drive a stake, and

string a line the building width. Stake in place. (Width of frame is

measured from center-to-center of ground posts.)

2. After placing first corner stake, string a line the frame width (center-to-

center of ground posts) and drive second corner stake.

3. String a line longer than the building 90° from the line between the first

and second stakes.

NOTE: A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90° angle, or the

3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram. Using multiples of 3-4-5 such

as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20 helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.

4. After squaring frame position, measure length and drive the third corner

stake.

5. Repeat the same step to set last corner stake.

NOTE: The distance measured diagonally between corner stakes must

be equal for building to be square.

SET GROUND POSTS IN CONCRETE

Sandy or loose soil requires setting ground posts in concrete. Review

the layout diagrams for additional details. Follow all local and regional

building codes during construction.

Enlist the services of a professional and competent contractor to

prepare site and set ground posts.

Failing to secure ground posts in concrete as required may result in

damage to frame, frame contents, and surrounding property and may

void warranty.

Shelter width is measured from ground post center to ground post center.

Length is also measured ground post center-to-center.

Set Ground Posts

Drawing may show layout of a different length. Refer to

Quick Start section located at back of these instructions for

on-center measurements and post layout for your frame.

MARK SITE AND DIG POST HOLES FOR CONCRETE

These steps describe marking all ground post locations and digging holes. For some sites, it may not be

possible to complete the procedure in this manner. An alternative procedure such as working from one end

of the building toward the other may be necessary. Determine the best procedure based on site and other

factors and proceed as needed.

NOTE: Refer to Quick Start Section located near the back of these instructions for Side Profile and

related diagrams.

If you are not setting ground posts in concrete and are anchoring frame as described in the MUST

READ document, do not auger holes for ground posts. Instead, follow the steps to mark ground

post locations and drive posts into the ground at those locations. See information below and on

next page.

Complete these steps:

1. Stake building outline using string line and batter boards. Set batter boards 3' back from the

building corners. Check to ensure that building layout is square. Cover or panels (if equipped)

will not install properly if frame is not square once assembled.

2. Consult diagrams in Quick Start section to verify frame length and width dimensions and to

accurately position ground posts.

3. Guided by string line, use a flag or stake to mark each ground post hole location.

4. Move string line and dig a post hole a minimum of two

feet (2') deep or to a depth that is below geographic frost

line. Consult local building codes. A power auger works

best. Minimum hole diameter is 12".

5. After digging all holes, reattach string line to batter

boards and use it as a guide to set and align ground

posts.

SET GROUND POSTS

Required parts and equipment:

• Ground Posts

• Equipment to level and brace posts

NOTE: Concrete (customer-supplied) is required to secure all ground post in the holes. Set all posts the same height for proper assembly. Position all mounting

holes to point toward the inside/outside of frame. Use holes in ground posts to attach post to customer-supplied framing when setting posts.

Consult the services of a qualified contractor if needed to properly set posts. Here are the basic steps:

1. Take one ground post, measure 24" from the end opposite bolt holes, and mark the location on ground post. Repeat to mark all ground posts.

2. With assistance, brace all posts in place. See diagram below. All posts to be plumb before adding concrete. Use mounting holes in posts and customer-

supplied fasteners and stakes to hold posts in place.

3. Add concrete to anchor posts in holes. Fill hole so concrete remains below finished grade.

ATTENTION: Ground posts include pre-drilled rafter mounting bolt holes and

holes to attach baseboards. Position holes to point outside/inside the frame.

Set Ground Posts

ATTENTION: Whether driving posts or anchoring

in concrete, set top of posts at the same height.

Drive or set posts in concrete 24" below nished

grade. Top of post is 12" above grade.

Use customer-supplied materials

to construct braces.

Assemble Frame

FRAME ASSEMBLY

Use the diagrams and information that follows to assemble

the main frame.

ATTENTION: Rafters are heavy. Move rafter with assistance or using a small lift to prevent damage and injury. Determine best way to move rafters into

position and to set them onto each set of ground posts. Do not set rafters into position until ground post concrete has set (if applicable).

Gather parts:

• Assembled rafters, 102856 end clamps, & 102548 cross connectors

• FAG336B (5/16” x 2-1/2”) bolts & FALB02B (5/16”) nuts

• 1.315" Pipe: 131S075 & 131P0xxx (where x represent length of last pipe)

Complete these steps:

1. Slide one end clamp (102856) onto each end of a rafter as shown in detail

above and in Quick Start diagrams.

2. Set first end rafter in place and anchor to top mounting hole in ground

posts using 5/16" bolts and nuts. Add braces for support if needed or have

an assistant hold until next rafter is added and connected with purlins.

3. Set next rafter in place and secure using 5/16" bolts and nuts.

ATTENTION: Only the two end rafters use 102856 end clamps as shown.

All interior rafters use 102548 cross connectors to secure purlins to rafters.

See details in Quick Start section for additional diagrams.

4. Using side profile diagram in Quick Start section for your building length,

attach first purlin pipe on each side between the two rafters. Do not

tighten clamps at this time.

5. Add next rafter and connect using next purlin pipe. See side profile

diagram for pipe identification.

NOTE: Set purlin height on each side just below rafter bend as shown in

diagrams. Purlin runs should be at same location on each side of frame.

For accuracy, stretch a string line end-to-end to keep purlins aligned. See

diagram above.

6. Check on-center spacing of rafters before clamps are tightened.

7. Using a long level or the string line (if present), ensure purlin pipes are

level and tighten cross connectors and end clamps.
