Assemble the End Rafters
Complete the following steps to assemble the two (2) end
rafters.
NOTE:
The two (2) end rafters are assembled using 3-way
square tube fittings (#104626) positioned between the
upper tube splices.
1. Select the tubes needed to assemble the rafter and
place these on the ground as shown.
2. Insert the 3-way square tube fittings (#104626) into the
rafter pipes as shown below and secure them using Tek
screws.
The free end of each 3-way square tube fitting
(#104626)
must face the same direction.
The free
section of the tube fitting is used to connect the purlin
pipes and the next rafter.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to the roof panels
or cover, position the Tek screws so the heads do not
contact the roof when installed.
Medium Frame Only
: Connect the lower rafter legs
using the 1.75" x 1.75" square tube insert (#104075).
(See the Base Rail assembly steps if needed.) Place
the insert 8" into the rafter pipes and secure using Tek
screws.
3. Repeat steps for the remaining end rafter.
NOTE:
There are two (2) end rafter assemblies.
