Note: Much of this products assembly is done using slip fit construction. Make sure all parts seat completely and securely. A rubber mallet (sold separately) can be used to gently tap parts in place to ensure a tight fit.

Figure B: Roof Assembly Overview

1.Assemble ridge using three Rails (3) with 4-Way Ridge Connectors (6???1) between them, and a 3???Way Ridge Connector (5-1) on each end.

The Rails connect to the straight ends of the Connectors

and the curved, free ends of the Connectors are angled down, as shown.

Stud Installation

1.Have assistants raise one side of the roof assembly.

2.Install the Center Studs (1-1) into the 4-Way Side Connectors (6???2), and the Corner Studs (1???2) into the 3???Way Side Connector A/B (5-2, 5-3) with the Corner Legs (23) facing inward.

Figure H: Stud Installation

3.After all four Studs (1-1, 1-2) are in place, rest that side of the assembly on the ground, and raise the other side.

4.Install four Studs (1-1, 1-2) on the other side of the roof, as explained in step #2, above.

Figure I: Studs Installed on Both Sides

5.Make sure all parts assembled up to this point are firmly joined together. Tap parts together gently with a rubber mallet (sold separately) if needed.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Contact local utility companies to ensure that the installation area is free of pipes, cables, and other hazards BEFORE installing anchors or choosing installation area.

1.Position the frame in the desired installation location.

The location must be flat, level, and stable with good locations for the Anchors (14???1).

2.Level the frame end-to-end and side-to-side.

3.Measure the width of the frame at front and back, it should be 10??? 2??? wide.

The distance diagonally in one direction should be equal to the distance diagonally in the other direction. If any measurements do not match, adjust the frame and retake measurements

until they are equal within a reasonable tolerance.

Note: If measurements cannot be made correct, then parts may not be seated together properly.

ASSEMBLY

a.Thread the Anchor (14-1) into the ground near the Corner Leg (23) until the top of the Anchor only extends about 3??? above the ground.

Note: Verify that there are no utility lines nearby before driving anchors. If there are rocks or other obstacles, holes may need to be

drilled first to allow proper anchoring.

b.Insert a Cable (14???2) through the anchor and through the Corner Leg (23), as shown.

c.Pull the Cable (14???2) tight and secure it using a Cable Clamp (14???3). Tighten the two nuts on the Cable Clamp (14???3) evenly to secure the Cable (14???2).

d.Repeat for all four Anchors (14???1) and Corner Legs (23).
