• Wrenches and impact socket set, or an adjustable
wrench

UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS
The following steps will ensure that you have all the
necessary parts
before
you begin.
1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and place where
you can easily inventory the parts. Refer to the Bill of
Materials/Spec Sheets.
2. Verify that all parts listed on the Bill of Materials/Spec
Sheets are present. If anything is missing or you have
questions, consult the Pictorial Parts Guide and all
diagrams for clarification, or contact Customer Service.
NOTE:
At this time, you do not need to open the plastic
bags containing smaller parts such as fasteners or
washers (if equipped).
SPECIAL NOTE: Baseboards for Frame
These instructions describe installing a baseboard
(recommended) at ground level along each side of the
frame. The baseboard runs from the front to the back of the
frame.
This baseboard is
not included
with the shipment and must
be supplied by the customer. Treated or recycled plastic
lumber works well for a baseboard.
The baseboard, when installed properly, helps prevent
ground posts from sinking when anchored. Depending
on building, it also provides a surface to attach struts or
other building components.
Secure baseboard using the
supplied FAH009B (1/4" x 4") bolts and FALB01B (1/4")
nuts.
Consult these instructions, or contact Customer Service for
additional information regarding baseboards.
Dotted line represents the anti-billow rope.
Example: Circles identify the ends of Rope #1.
ANTI-BILLOW ROPE INSTALLATION
TO PREVENT DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE INJURY,
INSTALL THE ANTI-BILLOW ROPES IN SHORT
LENGTHS ALONG EACH SIDE OF THE FRAME.
DO NOT INSTALL AS A SINGLE LENGTH TIED AT
EACH END OF THE BUILDING. DOING SO WILL
RESULT IN A LOOSE SIDE PANEL IF THE SINGLE
ROPE BREAKS DURING STRONG WINDS.
