SAFETY, HAZARD,AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

Read the following safety warnings and all instructions in their entirety prior to installation. If you have questions or

are missing any parts, contact Mid-South Metal Products, Inc. (DBA, VersaTube Building systems) customer service

at 1-800-900-7222 before proceeding.

CAUTION:

VersaTube Building Systems designs and manufactures framing products to meet minimum load requirements in

most areas. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to determine the specific building code requirements applicable in the

city and/or county of the state in which this product is being erected, and to ensure the product is installed with suffi-

cient materials and in such a manner as to comply with the codes.

WARNING:

Metal parts may get hot when exposed to high heat or direct sunlight. Avoid contact with skin and wear protective

gloves and clothing to prevent the possibility of burns.

WARNING:

Standing or walking on the structure could cause damage to the sheet metal panels. If you must walk on the roof,

step within 1’ of a major frame member. The structure must be properly braced to support human weight. Collapse of

the structure may cause serious injury do to weight of components.

WARNING:

Avoid installation on windy days as wind may create hazards during the installation process. Wind may blow material

or cause partially installed components to collapse prior to being secured or fully installed. The weight of the compo-

nents or structure may cause serious injury if it should collapse.

WARNING:

Metal conducts electricity and electrical shock hazards exist since the structure is made of metal. During installation

or storage, keep the structure and all components away from electrical sources. Make sure that your selected loca-

tion is away from power lines, underground cables, and any other source of

electrical power. Serious injury or even death may occur if contact is made with electrical current.

WARNING:

In the event that your structure is fully enclosed, be sure to provide proper and adequate ventilation and egress and

ingress. Hazardous, poisonous or noxious substances should not be stored in the structures absent proper ventila-

tion. Follow all warnings and instructions of the manufacturer of any substance stored in your building.

Also, proper ingress and egress should be provided to prevent persons or children from

Becoming trapped inside the structure.

WARNING:

If metal panels are selected to cover all or a portion of your structure, be careful of the sharp edges which may cause

cuts or lacerations. Wear protective work gloves and suitable clothing for protection and

always take care when handling metal parts.

NOTE:

The VersaTube Building System is an all domestically produced galvanized tubular steel framing system. Mainte-

nance is required twice annually on particular areas of the framing system i.e. ‘’weld seams” and “cut or raw ends”.

This maintenance is performed by applying any “Zinc coated” silver spray paint found at local mass merchant or paint

store to these areas twice annually or every six (6) months.

NOTE:

All sheet metal cladding applied to the VersaTube frame are attached with self drilling screws with a rubber washer.

These screws produce small shavings when drilling through the cladding. If the shavings are allowed to sit on the

sheet metal for an extended period, rust spots will form and promote deterioration. Metal shavings must be brushed

after installation of the sheet metal. Claims reported against rust spots will not be honored by VersaTube Building

Systems.

ATTENTION:

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE FOLLOWING NOTE

BEFORE STARTING THE ASSEMBLY OF YOUR CARPORT

NOTE:

If during the installation process you have difficulty fitting frame components together, use an

adjustable wrench to open the end of the receiving tube as shown below. Close wrench down

around bent portion of tube and bend wall outward. It may also be helpful to hit the center of the

swage at the end of the tube to create more of a lead.

ASSEMBLING AND POSITIONING THE LEAN-TO BASE RAILS:

Layout the base rails on your slab or footing or prepared ground. The outside to outside distance from the Lean-To base rail

to the main structure base rail will vary depending on the specific width of the Lean-To. The length from the front to the back

of the base rail assembly will be 1/2” longer than the frame length.

Join all the base rail components as shown. Check the overall length of the assembly, keep the swage joints even in length

and fasten the swage joints with (2) #12 x 3/4” hex head, self drilling screws per joint on top of the base rail. Place the base

rail assemblies the correct Lean-To width distance away from the main building and take a measurement across the diago-

nals of the frame to check it for square. Adjust the frame until the measurements are equal.

ANCHORING TO CONCRETE SLAB OR FOOTING WITH 1/2” X 7” WEDGE (EXPANSION) ANCHORS

After you have completed all measurements and have the base rails in place and squared, screw the joints together with

2 screws per joint on the top surface of the base rail. This will assure that the rails remain straight and do not vibrate

apart when you drill the anchor holes in the concrete.

To drill the anchor holes, you will need a hammer drill and a 1/2” x 8” or 12” concrete drill bit.

Hold the base rail in place with your foot, insert the drill bit through the anchor hole in the base rail and drill a hole 5” into

the concrete. The base rail is 2” thick, so the total depth from the top of the base rail will be 7”. Remove debris from hole.

Place a flat washer onto the anchor and screw on a hex nut until about 2 threads are exposed above the nut. Now, place

the anchor in the hole and tap it down with a hammer until the nut and washer touch the top of the base rail. Use a 3/4”

wrench to tighten the nut. Tighten the nut until it is snug. Do not crush the base rail tube.

NOTE: If you have a 2” x 4” frame, the anchors will be 5/8” x 7”.

ANCHORING CARPORT BASE RAILS:

These instructions offer two anchoring methods: (1) To a concrete slab or concrete footings with concrete wedge

anchor bolts. (2) To the ground with VersaTube Rebar Anchors and concrete in post holes.

ANCHORING TO GROUND WITH CONCRETE PIERS

DIGGING HOLES FOR CONCRETE

Mark the locations of the rails and the anchor holes on the ground. Move the base rails to one side and dig holes at each

anchor point for concrete. You may want to rent a gas-powered post hole digger with an 8” or 12” diameter auger for this

job.

HOLE SIZE:

Counties with 70 or 80 mph Exposure C wind: Use a 12” diameter hole 14” deep or a 8” diameter hole 18” deep.

Counties with 90 mph Exposure C wind: Use a 12” diameter hole 18” deep or an 8” diameter hole 24” deep for 12’ to 20’

wide carports. For 24’ and 30’ wide carports, use a 12” diameter hole 21” deep or a 8” diameter hole 30” deep.

For 2” x 4” frames, use 12” diameter holes x 36” deep.

ANCHORING

Move the base rails back into position over the holes. Re-measure to make sure the rails are in the proper location (see

layout on page 6).

Now drop or drive a VersaTube 30” rebar ground anchor or a 1/2” x 36” threaded rod with a flat washer and nut at the

top into each anchor hole. A 24” threaded rod could also be used (not supplied). Threaded rods are normally 3’ long from

your building center.

Mix up concrete and pour into holes up to ground level. You may want to rent a mixer for this job. Before the concrete

sets, re-check all your dimensions to make sure the frame is square and has the proper width.

Let the concrete cure overnight before installing the Roof/Wall assemblies.

NOTE: If it is necessary to assemble and anchor the carport all in one work session,

you can anchor the carport after it is complete. If you assemble the frame and install

sheet metal before anchoring the base rails, it is important to have the site prepared

and level. This will allow you to get the frame square and the sheet metal properly

aligned with the frame.

ROOF/WALL FRAME ASSEMBLY

On the ground, assemble (1) side post, (1) rafter and (1) lean-to bracket with welded post.

Before you fasten the joints with screws take a measurement across the assembly as shown. Try to keep the joint spacing

on both sides of the assembly equal. It is very helpful to drive a stake into the ground at the width of the building and use it to

set the dimension across the assembly.

Now, fasten the joints with #12 X 3/4” self-drilling screws. 4 screws in the bracket to rafter and side post to rafter joints. See

details below.

INSTALLING LEAN-TO FRAMES TO BASE RAILS

*THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL IS WRITTEN FOR A 3:12 PITCH CONTINUOUS SLOPE LEAN-TO, ROOF ONLY SHEET

METAL.

This assembly will require at least two people. Start at one end of the lean-to and place a frame on the first base rail vertical

pins. Fasten joints with two screws each. Repeat this assembly until all frame assemblies are installed.

Place bottom of side posts on base rail pins at an angle. Raise frame section and drop It onto pins at the same time on both

sides of the carport. Clamp the lean-to bracket flush against the outside face of the side post and flush with the outside face

of the top of the side post. Screw lean-to bracket into place with 4 screws on both sides of the bracket. Tap lightly on the side

post with a hammer if parts do not drop into place.

Before you install sheet metal panels, you may want to

check the Roof/Wall assemblies to make sure they are

square and that the height of each side post is equal.

To do this, first check the front and back Roof/Wall sec-

tions to make sure that they are square with the frame. If

adjustments must be made, you can drive a wooden or

metal stake into the ground about 8’ from the building and

use a Motor Cycle strap or Ratchet strap to pull the side

post into plumb. Place a clamp on the side post as shown

and attach the strap above the clamp.

When the front and back sections are plumb (side to side)

tie two strings from the front side post to the back side

post at the bottom and top of the bend radius as shown.

These strings will let you see which sections are high, low

or out of plumb. If the side posts are high or low, remove

the joint screws and raise the low posts and hammer down

the higher posts as much as possible. Reinstall the screws

in a new location. Check the height of the side posts on

both sides of the building. The straps should remain in

place until the roof purlins are installed.

Note: this is not a critical step, but it may improve the

appearance of your building. If side posts are out of plane

with the other side posts more than 1/4” it may be visible.

INSTALLING HAT CHANNEL ON ROOF

Before installing lean-to hat channel, install the last main building roof and side hat channel that was left off to install the lean

-to bracket. The purlins on the roof are Hat Channel. Before you start the installation of hat channel purlins on the roof we

recommend that you brace the one end wall of the building. Make sure that the end wall is plumb and attach angle braces

from the end wall side posts to the lower portion of the next frame section side posts. You can use wood or metal for this job.

Place a brace on both sides of the building. You can clamp the braces in place or use self-drilling screws. If you use screws

you may want to mount the braces to the outside of the frame. Braces could also be attached to a wood stake driven into the

ground 5’ or 6’ away from the back of the building. You can measure and locate each hat channel as you go or mark the lo-

cations of all the channels on the front and back frame sections and snap a chalk line the length of the building to mark the

hat channel locations on all of the interior frame sections. Hat Channel should be spaced according to the Care Package hat

channel notes.
