Take notice of drainage around your intended location.
Water draining from the surrounding terrain should be
planned so that it does not run into the unit. As well, rain
or melting snow that comes off the unit should be
drained away rather than accumulate and pool around
the unit.
Check to be certain that adequate clearance is allowed
for entry and exit from ends of unit. As unit has doors on
both ends, ideally vehicle or equipment can be inserted
or removed from either end.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
Step1. Assemble the two End Arch Assemblies. Each
consists of (1) Right Side Crest Tube RC-3020, (1) Left
Side Crest Tube LC-3021 and (2) End Upright w/Foot
EUL-4021 for each one. Assemble as shown below.
The swedged ends slip into the plain end pipe. Use (2)
CBN-3005-2 carriage bolts with nuts and washers
through pre-drilled holes in frame members.
Be certain to insert carriage bolts from the outer edge
into the interior of the unit, with the washers and nuts on
the inside of the arches. This will avoid tearing the fabric
on doors and main cover when installed. Do not tighten
the nuts completely until the frame is completed and set
in place.
Step 2. Attach the (2) Corner Wind Braces CW-1800 to
the End Upright w/Foot EUL-4021 to the first of the End
Arch assemblies. Use a CBN-3005-3 Carriage Bolt with
Washer and Nut to secure the braces loosely to the
Upright. Do not tighten completely.
Step 3. Assemble the Four Interior Arch Assemblies
using (1) Right Crest Tube RC-3020, (1) Left Crest Tube
LC-3021, and (2) Center Straight Upright CSU-4020 for
each. Use CBN-3005-3 carriage bolts with washers and
nuts in the pre-drilled holes, aligned to form the arch.
Step 4. Support an End Arch with Wind Braces CW-
1800 temporarily in the vertical position. Connect (4)
ECR-2031 Plain End Cross Rails to the End Arch with
(4) CBN-3005-3 carriage bolts, washers, and nuts
through the pre-drilled holes in the arch members. The
Cross Rails should be put into the bottom and side hole
of the arch upright. These will begin the Base Cross
Rails and Side Cross Rails on each side of the frame
assembly. Again, don’t tighten the hardware until the
next arch and cross rails are assembled.
Stand an Interior Arch Assembly up vertically
approximately 48” from the End Arch Assembly. Align
the cross rails from the End Arch with the holes in the
Interior Arch. Using (4) Carriage Bolts CBN-3005-3 with
nuts and washers, connect the cross rails between the
End Arch and the first Interior Arch. Connect the (2)
Wind Braces #CW-2005 diagonally across the end and
interior arch as shown in the frame illustration.
