Begin by determining exact location of the four (4)
corners of the building. Mark front edge and side-to-side
width of assembly on ground. Drive alignment stakes
into the ground outside of the markings, and draw
alignment strings along both ends and sides of the
building to the dimensions shown in Figure 2. The
outline of the strings will represent the final location of
the base Plates. The initial location of each Corner Base
Plates (6R & 6L) is critical to the alignment and fit of the
frame components and cover. Locate the Left Corner
Base Plate (6L) and Right Corner Base Plate (6R) for
the front corners of the building. Secure the base Plates
with either or both the Auger style anchor (Part #24) or
the earth anchor (Part #25). Measurements shown in
Figure 6 are to the center of the upright sockets on each
Base Plate.
Layout and secure all Base Plates as shown in Figure 6.
Note that Sidewall Base Plates (Part #8) and Base
Plates Front & Rear Standing Legs (Part #7) are
different and not inter changeable. Sidewall Base Plates
are used only along each side of assembly. Standing
Leg Base Plates are positioned along the Front and
Rear Arches to secure vertical beams in each.
Base Plates (8A & 8B) are used with interior arches #2
and #6. Base Plates 8A and 8B have attachment clips
for wind braces, which must face End Arches.
The 40x60x18 building must be secured to a firm surface
that can receive and retain anchors firmly in position.
Both Auger Style and Earth Style anchors are included
within this assembly kit. If securing to the ground or to
blocks that might shift later, it is recommended that both
style of anchors be used to avoid base Plates moving
during or after assembly. If securing to a concrete pad,
blocks, or other hard surfaces, anchors must be field
supplied. Regardless of base material, the Base Plates
must be secured so they cannot be moved. Arches are
tensioned at their base as they insert into the Base Plate
sockets.
