Assembly

****Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to Parts List and Diagram on page 18.

WARNING

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not leave this product partially assembled. Assemble this product completely at one time.

Note
At least 3 workers are required for assembly. Before starting assembly, review the instructions and make sure there is enough time and the proper tools available to properly assemble. Finger tighten all connections until assembly is done. Assemble on a flat, level surface.

Frame Assembly Overview

Roof Frame Assembly

Note: Much of this product’s assembly uses slip fit construction. Nut and Bolt connections are required during proper assembly. Line up all holes on tubes and connectors. Insert Bolt through hole and secure with Nut installed on the other end. Make sure all parts seat completely and securely. A rubber mallet (sold separately) can be used to gently tap parts in place to ensure a tight fit. Do not tighten Nuts on the Bolts for the front and rear tubes. They will need to be removed to install the front and rear canopy walls.

Figure A: Roof Assembly Overview

1. Assemble ridge using three Rails (4) with 4-Way Ridge Connectors (B) between them, and a 3-Way Ridge Connector (A) on each end. Align holes and insert six M8x45 Round Head Bolts (20) and secure with Wing Nut, ends of the Connectors should be angle down, as shown in Figure B.

2.  Connect a Rafter (3) to each end of every Connector (A, B), align holes and insert eight M8x45 Round Head Bolt (20) and secure with Wing Nut.
   

3. Assemble a roof side rail using a 3-Way Side Connector B (A2), three Rails (4) with 4-Way Side Connectors (B1) between them, and then a 3-Way Side Connector A (A1) on the other end (see Figure D). Align holes and insert six M8x45 Round Head Bolts (20) and secure with Wing Nut for all Side Connectors. The Rails connect to the straight ends of the Connectors, and the curved ends of all Connectors must face up angled the same direction, as shown. If that is not the case, incorrect connectors were used, or they were assembled backwards.
   

4. Assemble a second identical roof side rail by repeating the instructions in step #3.
   

5. Connect the roof side rail assemblies to the ends of the Rafters (3), align holes and insert eight M8x45 Round Head Bolts (20) and secure with Wing Nut for all Side Connectors as shown in Figure E.

6. Make sure all parts assembled up to this point are firmly joined together. Tap parts together gently with a rubber mallet (sold separately) if needed.

Foot, Leg, and Stud Assembly

1. Assemble a Foot (7) to the bottom of each Center Stud (1):

   • Place a Foot onto the bottom of the Center Stud.

   • Align the holes and insert one Hex Head Bolt (12) through them.

   • Secure with Nut (12).

   • Repeat steps above for remaining three Center Studs.

2. Attach Corner Leg (6) to the bottom of each Corner Stud (2):

   • Align holes and insert one M8x45 Round Head Bolt (20) and secure with Wing Nut as shown in Figure F.
   • Repeat steps above for remaining Corner Studs.

Stud Installation

1. With assistance, raise one side of the roof assembly.

2. Install the Center Studs (1) into the 4-Way Side Connectors (B1), and the Corner Studs (2) into the 3‑Way Side Connectors A/B (A1, A2) with the Corner Legs (6) facing inward, align holes and insert four M8x45 Round Head Bolts (20) and secure with Wing Nut as show in Figure G. Do not tighten nuts on the bolts for the front and rear tubes. They will need to be removed to install the front and rear canopy walls.
   

3. After all four Studs (1, 2) are in place, rest that side of the assembly on the ground, and raise the other side.

4. Install four Studs on the other side of the roof, as explained in step #2, above.
   

5. Make sure all parts assembled up to this point are firmly joined together. Tap parts together gently with a rubber mallet (sold separately) if needed.

Anchoring Frame

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Contact local utility companies to ensure that the installation area is free of pipes, cables, and other hazards BEFORE installing anchors or choosing installation area.

1.  Position the frame in the desired installation location. The location must be flat, level, and stable with good locations for the Anchors (11-1).

2. Level the frame end-to-end and side-to-side.

3. Measure the width of the frame at front and back; it should be 10′ 2″ wide. The distance diagonally in one direction should be equal to the distance diagonally in the other direction. If any measurements do not match, adjust the frame and retake measurements until they are equal within a reasonable tolerance.
   
   Note: If measurements cannot be made correct, then parts may not be seated together properly.

4. Once the frame is positioned, leveled, and squared, anchor the four Corner Legs (6) as follows:

   •  Thread the Anchor (11-1) into the ground near the Corner Leg until the top of the Anchor only extends about 3″ above the ground.
     Note: Verify that there are no utility lines nearby before driving anchors. If there are rocks or other obstacles, holes may need to be drilled first to allow proper anchoring.
     Note: When anchoring frame on concrete, use Concrete Anchor (19) in place of Anchor.

   • Insert a Cable (11-2) through the anchor and through the Corner Leg, as shown.

   • Pull the Cable tight and secure it using a Cable Clamp (11-3). Tighten the two nuts on the Cable Clamp evenly to secure the Cable.

   • Repeat for all three remaining Anchors and Corner Legs.

Securing Ratchet Tie-Downs

Note: Use these instructions for installing Door, Back, and Roof Cover.

1. Thread the strap through the Ratchet’s (8)spindle as far as it will go.

2. Insert the S-hook of the Ratchet into the hole in the Corner Leg (6).

3. Lift and lower the Ratchet’s handle to wind and tighten the strap onto the spindle.
   

Figure M: Tightening Ratchet
NOTICE: Excessive tightening will damage straps, Covers, and Corner Legs.

Releasing Ratchet Tie-Downs

1. Depress the spring-loaded bar on the handle.
2. Open Ratchet handle completely.
3. Unwind the strap.

Door and Back Cover Installation

Note: When installing Door and Back Cover, ensure that pre-installed straps are not pulled out of Hem.

1. Position the Door Cover (16) near where you want the front of the Portable Garage, and turn it so that the zipper faces the outside of the Portable Garage, and the warning tag faces inside;
   

2.  Disconnect the Rail (4) from the3-Way Ridge Connector (A), and place the gap at the top center of the Door Cover around the Ridge Connector, as shown Figure O. Note that the Door Cover’s flaps wrap around the Rafters (3), and the strap is positioned inside the frame. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSERT ANY FRAMEWORK TUBING INTO THE HEM ON THE COVER FLAPS.

3.  Reconnect the Rail securely to the 3-Way Ridge Connector.

4. Repeat step #2 for the-Way Side Connectors A/B (A1, A2) so that the Door Cover looks as shown in Figure O and Figure P.

5. Use two Ratchet Tie-Downs (8) to attach the Door Cover to the Corner Legs (6); see Securing Ratchet Tie-Downs on page 10 and Figure Q.

6. Repeat steps #1 – 5 above to install the Back Cover (17) to the other end of the Portable Garage.

Roof Cover Installation

1.  Lay the Roof Cover (15) on the ground, next to the frame, so that the three inside pockets for the opposite side is facing up as shown in Figure R.

2.  Slide two Bottom Rails (5) into the middle openings of the pocket.

3. Tie a rope(sold separately) to each Bottom Rail.

4.  Throw the ropes over the top of the frame to the other side. From the other side, pull the ropes to properly position the Top Cover as shown in Figure S.

5. From the other side, pull the ropes to properly position the Top Cover.

6. Remove the ropes and Bottom Rails.

7. Secure all four Top Cover corners to the outside of the Corner Legs with Ratchets. (Please refer to Securing Ratchet Tie Downs Pg. 10 to complete installation for Roof Cover.)
   

8. After installing roof cover, insert three Bottom Rails (5) into the fabric tubes on each side of the Roof Cover as shown in Figure T.

9. Make sure the Bottom Rails are level and horizontal as shown in Figure U.

10. Attach Bottom Rails to the Corner Studs (2) using 3-Way End Rail Clamps (9), Bolts and Nuts (13), and to the Center Studs (1) with 4-Way Center Rail Clamps (10), as shown in Figure V.
    Figure V: 3- and 4-Way Rail Clamp Connections
    Note: Only finger tighten the Nuts at this point.

11.  Make sure that all the Bottom Rails are of the same height from the ground, then tighten all Nuts.

12.  Secure the four corners to the Corner Legs (6) using Ratchet Tie-Downs (8); see Securing Ratchet Tie-Downs on page 10.
