Anchor NAVI-TRAC 40 WIDE HIP-END - Manual (Page 3)

INTRODUCTION:
The NAVI-TRAC frame configuration is based on the hip roofed square tent shown below.
Hip bars connect corners to the peak, and rafters connect eave bars to the peak. The square can be extended
into a rectangle by adding 10’, 15’ or 20’ bays made up of rafters and the appropriate ridge/eave bars (see
below). In the square tent, female eave bars and rafters are connected to eave weldments by rigid slip joints.
Hip bars and eave/ridge bars and rafters in the middle bays use easy to install drop-in fittings.
The NAVI-TRAC frame is made up of extruded aluminum members joined by weldments such as corner
weldments, ridge weldments, eave weldments, etc. The aluminum frame members themselves are extruded
with channels into which the NAVI-TRAC fabric “kedar” is fed.
The first bay added to the square tent shape is a “starter” bay. This starter bay allows a slip fit connection to
the square tent eaves on one end of the weldment and a
drop-in connection for the new starter bay eaves on the
other end of the weldment.
Subsequent bays added to the unit are “extension”
bays. Extension bays allow drop-in connections on both
ends of the eave weldments.
The chart on page 5 lists components needed for the
40’ x 40’ square tent, the first (starter) extension, and for
each additional extension to be added to the unit. Note:
starter mids or bays and extension mids are available in
options of 10’, 15’ or 20’ increments of length, as shown.
