Step 5. Begin the Top Ridge Rail by placing the final
ECR-2031 Plain End Cross Rail underneath the End
Arch Tube. Secure the Cross Rail loosely with a
Carriage Bolt CBN-3005-3 with washer and nut facing
the interior of the unit. This begins the Top Ridge Rail.
The other end of the Cross Rail goes on to of the Interior
Arch as shown in the illustration above.
Step 6. Add the next Interior Arch by placing a
Swedged Cross Rail into each of the Base, Side, and
Top Ridge Cross Rails, and then attaching Arch
Assembly. The swedged end of each cross rail slips into
the plain end of the cross rail before it. Secure each
Arch Assembly onto the frame by carriage bolts at each
cross rail. Add Interior Arches and second End Arch in
the same fashion. Note that the Plain end of Swedged
Cross Rail should fasten under the End Top Crest Arch
at the End arch.
NOTE: Do not completely tighten bolts that connect the
Cross Rails to the End Arches. They must be removed
for proper for End Panel Zippered Door installation

Step 7. Move the frame assembly into its final
installation location. This should be done with at least
one person lifting each side or corner to avoid bending
or stressing any frame members. Frame must be
squared up in position. Measure from diagonally from
inside corner to inside corner of frame. Both diagonal
measurements should match. Adjust frame and support
as necessary to bring frame into square. Failure to
square frame of unit properly will result in poor
cover fit and reduced strength and rigidity.

Step 8. Once frame is square and properly supported,
tighten carriage bolts on all frame members, except for
End Arch members to Cross Rails along base, side, and
top. Support End Arch feet with patio blocks or bricks as
needed if ground is soft and will not support weight. After
hardware is tightened, insert plastic end plugs #EP-1000
(1 5/8”) & EP-1001 (1”) into all open ends of frame
members.
