ASSEMBLING THE END FRAME KIT COMPONENTS

Consult the end wall diagrams in the Quick Start section of

these instructions before you begin.

ATTENTION: If the main cover is installed, loosen the two

(2) main cover bonnet ratchets at the end of the shelter

where the end wall will be installed. If an end panel is to

be installed, remove the ratchets to install the end panel

frame. The ratchets are reattached after the end frame is

installed.

Assistance is required to assemble the end wall. Lifts

designed to reach the top of the end rafter are also needed.

Consult a qualified construction professional if you are not

familiar with the construction of similar frame structures.

INSTALL THE END FRAME

• Angled Bracket (#QH1330)

• Tek screws (#FA4482B)

• 2" x 2" square tube (105328)

• 1.75" x 1.75" square tube inserts (104075)

The following steps describe one way to set end frame tubes.

1. At ground level, measure between the legs of the end rafter to locate the center of the end wall. Use a plumb line to

identify the center of the overhead rafter and mark that location on the ground as well.

2. Using the dimensions on the Front Profile diagrams, locate the positions of the end frame (or door jambs for the door

if equipped). The width of the door determines the frame dimensions for the door opening. Consult the documentation

sent with the door for the correct spacing of the door jambs.

3. Dig a 12" diameter hole at the locations found in previous step to a depth that is below the geographic frost line.

ATTENTION: Concrete should remain 1" to 2" below ground level so that it does not interfere with construction and

installation of the door frame components if equipped.

Ground Level

Sample Frame

ATTENTION: If you are installing an overhead door, do not

attach framing within the door opening.

4. Assemble the vertical frame members and attach the upper ends

to the end rafter using QH1330 brackets and Tek screws.

NOTE: Splice the joints of the 2" x 2" tubes using a 104075

(1.75" x 1.75") square tube insert for each splice. Install Tek

screws to secure each splice.

Do not install Tek screws on surfaces where the end panel

(if equipped) or overhead door (if equipped) are positioned.

Consult the installation instructions that shipped with the door for

additional information. If an overhead door (additional purchase

required) is to be installed, do not install the center vertical within

the framed door opening.

ATTENTION: For best results, cut the 2" x 2" tube assembly to

a length that allows the bottom end to extend into ground anchor

holes at least 12" to be secured.

9. After assembling end frame, inspect frame for sharp edges and bolts that could damage end panel (if equipped) or

main cover when it is pulled back into place. Tape over or file the sharp edges as needed.

10. Install end panel if equipped. (Additional purchase required for end panels and doors.)

NOTE: If covering the end frame with something other than an end panel, install that material now and then secure

the main cover of the shelter.

5. Plumb the vertical frame tube and use wooden stakes or other means to anchor it in place.

6. Repeat the steps to construct, attach, and set the remaining end frame tubes.

7. Verify that all end frame tubes are plumb and spaced as needed.

8. Add concrete to each hole and allow to set. Concrete should remain a few inches below the finished grade.

END PANEL INSTALLATION

The following procedure describes installing an end panel

that includes D-rings at the top and horizontal pocket heat

sealed to the lower inside surface of the panel.

Additional purchase is required for end panel and end

panel installation kit. Complete these steps to install an

end panel of this design.

Required parts include:

• End panel

• 131S075 Pipe (kit)

• QH1061 Ratchet & 103620E 1" strap (kit)

• FAMF01B Washers & FA4482B Tek screws (kit)

1. Position the panel flat on ground with the long edge

against the bottom end wall frame member and the

pocket facing up. (The pocket and D-rings should be

visible when the panel is positioned properly.)

2. Locate D-rings near top edge of panel and tie a section

of strapping (or rope) to center-most D-ring. Tie two

additional straps on each side of the center D-ring,

allowing a few feet to remain between the straps.

NOTE: Pull top edge of end panel toward rafter.

(Approximately 1 to 2 feet of the end panel material will

remain at and run along the base of the end wall. In a

later step, this can be secured to the bottom tube of the

end wall frame, if equipped. Or, it can remain as a skirt

to direct water away from the shelter.)

The end panel must touch the ground after the top

edge of the panel is secured to the rafter. Adjust panel

and strap as needed.

View (above) is from the inside of the shelter looking

at the end panel. Frame and rafter shown are different

from your frame. The technique used to secure the

end panel is the same however. Photo shows the main

cover installed.

NOTE: Maintain an even space between the rafter

and the top of the end panel. The end panel flap that

extends beyond the D-rings is tucked between the

rafter and the main cover.

DO NOT attach the flap to the end rafter at this time.

5. Stretch the bottom of the end panel evenly out on the

ground along the bottom frame tube of the end wall

frame (if needed) and tighten the 1" strap at the top of

the end panel. Top of end panel must remain as close

to the rafter as possible.

NOTE: Verify that the lower end of the panel remains

on the ground as the top is tightened. If the panel

begins to lift off the ground, loosen the top evenly along

the radius of the rafter. (In a later step, the end panel

is stretched from the bottom to pull the panel tight and

into position using the end panel horizontal conduit,

straps, and ratchets.)

6. With the top edge of the end panel secured, continue

by installing the end panel conduit.

Space below is reserved for customer notes.

8. Align the strap ends and insert both ends into the slot

in the center hub of the ratchet.

9. Tighten slightly and repeat the steps for the remaining

straps and ratchets.

ATTENTION: If strap "builds up" inside ratchet, loosen

ratchet, remove excess strap, and retighten.

10. Return to all horizontal conduit ratchets and tighten.

11. After straps are tight, cut the opening for door

installation if equipped.

NOTE: If no doors, reinstall ratchets for the main cover

bonnet and tighten main cover bonnet.

If you are installing an optional door, consult the

general steps in the following procedure. Some steps

may not apply. It is the installer's responsibility to adapt

these instructions as needed to install an end panel.

END PANEL INSTALLATION (continued)

Install Horizontal End Panel Conduit

Depending on size and design, some end panels include

a horizontal pocket on the inside panel surface. A pipe

assembly is inserted into the pocket. Conduit is secured to

the end frame using straps and ratchets.

Complete these steps to assemble and install the pipe

assembly. Required Pipe: 1.315" x 75" swaged Pipe

(#131S075)

NOTE: If doors are to be installed, cut the pipe to the

correct length to properly fit into the pocket and to remove it

from the opening.

1. Locate the 1.315" pipes and assemble sections to

achieve the required length. (Cut to length if needed.)

2. Secure each pipe joint with a Tek screw. Wrap joint and

screw with duct tape to prevent end panel damage.

3. Insert assembled conduit into horizontal end panel

pocket. (End wall and panel shown are used for

illustration only. These may differ from actual items.)

5. Once ratchets are attached, make a horizontal slit

(approximately 3"– 6" long) in the horizontal pocket

directly above each ratchet. See photos for details.

(Photos show a different frame.)

WARNING: Cut only the end panel pocket. DO NOT

cut through the end panel.

6. Locate the 1" strapping and cut a section that reaches

from the ratchet (#QH1061), around the horizontal

conduit in the panel pocket, and back to the ratchet.

NOTE: Allow enough extra strap so you can insert both

ends of the strap into the ratchet.

7. Thread one end of the strap in through the slit, around

the conduit, and back to the ratchet.

Horizontal Pocket

4. Locate the QH1061 ratchets and attach these to the

end wall frame tubes on the inside surface using

FA4482B Tek screws. If a base rail is installed (not

included), space ratchets evenly along base rail in a

location that will not interfere with the installation of

doors (if equipped).

NOTE: For end walls with door openings, attach

ratchets in locations that will best secure and stretch

the end panel. This may or may not be evenly spaced

END PANEL INSTALLATION (continued)

3. Make two (2) diagonal cuts in the end panel as shown above to create the 12"-16" flaps.

4. Continue with the next procedure.

Cut Door Openings (Door installation only; additional door purchase required.)

ATTENTION: For best results and to keep the stretched panel in position, install Tek screws and washers from the outside

around the door frame to secure the end panel to the door jambs and header. (See dashed lines Fig. 1.) Do this before

cutting the opening in the panel. If you do not want to install screws through the panel, continue with Step 1.

These steps describe one way to cut a door opening:

ATTENTION: Do not cut door openings if you are not

installing doors.

1. Working from inside the frame, mark a 12"-16" border

along the door jambs and below the header. (Consult

the diagram below.) These 12"-16" flaps are wrapped

around the door framing and secured to the inside of

the door frame once the final diagonal cuts are made.

2. Using the diagram as a guide, cut the end panel to

remove the section that is shaded.

Diagram above shows the end wall and end panel as seen from inside a similar shelter.
