Attach the curved, hook ends of two drop-
in Purlins (P-15) to the purlin bracket of the
standing beam as shown.
Using the long Eave Bar Cradle, lift and attach
the straight angled ends of the drop-in purlins
(P-15) to the purlin brackets of the new middle
beam.
Repeat this process with the Ridge w/Hooks
(RG-15) as shown above. Again, use the long
Eave Bar Cradle to attach the opposite end.
COMPLETING AND STAKING THE HIP END FRAME
The final middle bay joins with the cross beam of the opposite hip end (see fig. 32 & 33). Position the second
(facing) hip end 15’ from the last middle beam, and use Eave Bars (E-15), Purlins (P-15), and Ridge Bars w/
Hooks (RH-15) to connect it to the standing frame structure

FABRIC GUIDE BRACKET
Fabric is installed using the fabric wheeled guide
brackets and pull ropes thrown over the purlins
and eave bars from one side of the tent to the
other (see fig. 34).
To install the hinged Wheeled Guide Bracket,
slide the top over the external eye of the eave
weldment and pin in place using a Tension Lock
Pin. Spread the hinged bottom brace until the
lower end lodges in the tensioning slot of the
upright leg, as shown to the right (see fig. 34 &
35).
Using the butterfly set screws attach the Navi-
Trac Wheeled Panel Guide wheels into the open
end of the bracket at the hinged angle, as shown
(see fig. 36).
BOTTOM OF GUIDE BRACKET
TOP OF GUIDE BRACKET
Before installing fabric, all middle beams should be guyed
off, as shown
. All guys are staked out from the upright at a dis-
tance equal to the height of the upright. If the breeze is strong,
the corner uprights should be guyed off as well. Later, the cor-
ner guys will be temporarily released while the fabric hip end is
being tensioned.

STAKE ALL GUY CABLES
ACCORDING TO LOADS
SHOWN ON THE BLUEPRINT.
STAKE ALL BASE PLATES
To finish out the unit, position a second, facing, hip end spaced 10’
from the last parallel middle beam and connect the purlins, ridge,
and eave bars just as in the preceding bay. Consult the blue print
for loading data for each baseplate location. Stakes alone may not
meet the loading requirement.
It is the customer’s responsibility
to provide adequate anchoring to meet the loads.
