Assembling the Rafters
For the larger bins (90–105 ft.) each rafter will consist of a two piece design and will need to be spliced
together for assembling the A-frames.
1. Locate an upper rafter (A) and a lower rafter (B), and find the series of twelve holes on each end of
the upper rafter (A) and a lower rafter (B).
NOTE: Assemble rafters with the flanges facing in the same direction.
2. Place the lower rafter (B) to the outside mating surface of the upper rafter (A), and align the series of
twelve holes together.
3. Install flange bolts (C) and flange nuts (D), and tighten hardware to the recommended torque specifi-
cations. See
Bolt Torque Specifications, page 25
