Frame assembly overview

Step 1: Assembling roof frame

• Lay out the roof frame parts as shown below (fig. 1).

• NOTE :
  The three connectors are different and individually numbered. When using them, ensure the welded socket for the cross rail is below the bend (fig. 2).

• Connect extension pole with dimples(2) and common tube-male union (3) together. Assemble the center section of the roof using the connectors(2)(3)and 3-way peak connectors (7) . Insert the rafter poles (1) into the connectors afterwards (fig. 3).

• Attach the connectors(2)(3) to the 3-way side connectors(8)(9).insert the connectors(8)(9) into rafter poles(1) to complete the assembly of the roof (fig.4) NOTE :

• Be sure that all tubes are fully inserted. Use a rubber mallet if necessary.

• When using the connectors, be sure to remove the protective caps first.

Step 2: Attaching legs

• Assemble the legs (fig. 5).
• Insert the corner legs into the 3-way side connectors(8) (9) (fig. 6).
• Repeat the same procedure on the opposite side.

Step 3: Squaring up frame

• Be sure the frame is standing at the desired location.
• Level the frame both end-to-end and side-to-side.
• Check that the frame measures 6’ (183 cm) in width (fig. 10).
• Measure the distance between the interior of the frame feet diagonally.

The sections A to B and C to D should be of equal length (fig. 10). If they are not of equal length, tap the corner leg of the longer section (using a rubber mallet) inward until both diagonals are equal. Step 4: Anchoring frame

CAUTION!

• The shed must be well-anchored.
• Do not attempt to install any of the fabric before the frame is properly anchored.
• If the ground is hard or rocky, pre-drill holes before inserting the anchors.
• Four anchors (18) are provided to secure the shed. They are to be installed around the bent corner legs (6) at each corner of the shed.
• Screw the anchor head into the ground.
• Insert the cable (19) through the eyelets of the anchor (18) and the bent corner leg (6). Secure the cable (19) with the cable clamp (20) (fig. 11).
• Repeat the same procedure for the other three anchors (18).

Step 5: Installing front door and back panels

• Install the front door panel (17) first. During installation, ensure the zipper of the front door panel (17) is closed, for easier installation (fig. 12).

• Thread the strap through the spindle of the ratchet (fig. 13).
  To make sure the strap will stay in the sleeve when assembly

• Raise and lower the handle two or three times to wind the strap onto the spindle (fig. 14).

WARNING!

• Do not thread poles through the sleeves. To tighten, wrap the outer sleeves around poles and tighten using the straps provided (fig. 15).

• Locate the top part of the front door panel (17) near the 3-way peak connector (7), disconnect the shoulder cross rail (3) from the 3-way peak connector (7), and pull the strap onto the connector (7) re-insert the cross rail (3) to its proper position (fig. 16).

• Attach the other two corners of the front door panel(17) to the 3-way side connectors(8,9) in the same way (fig.17).

• Insert the S-hook of the ratchet into the hole of the bent corner leg (6).
  Pump the ratchet handle repeatedly to tighten the strap (fig.18).

• Repeat the same procedure to install the back panel (16) to its proper position.

Step 6: Installing roof tarp

NOTE:

• the roof tarp (15) is pre-assembled with pipe sleeves along its lower part on each side.

• Lay the roof tarp (15) on the ground next to the shed frame. Make sure that the ends with the black straps are alongside the front door/back panels (16, 17) and the tube sleeves are facing upward (fig. 19).

• Stretch the roof tarp (15) over the shed frame and make sure it is centered on the frame (fig. 20). Use a ladder if necessary.
  Caution!
  If small adjustments are needed, two people should pull the roof tarp (15) from the same side so that it does not twist.

• Remove the fittings (12, 13, 14) and 3-way cross rail clamps (10) to loosen the bottom cross rail connectors(4)(5). Slide the cross rail connectors(4)(5) through the tube sleeves on one side of the roof tarp (15).
  Re-insert the clamps (10) and fittings (12, 13, 14) and tighten slightly (fig. 21).

• Make sure the cross rails connectors(4)(5) are level and horizontal.

• Check and make sure all the bottom cross rail connectors(4)(5) are level and horizontal, and are of the same height from the ground.

• Tighten all the nuts and bolts at this stage.

• Fasten the black straps at the four corners with the ratchet tie-down (11).
  For details, see the corresponding instructions on page 7.

• Now the shed is ready for use.
  Caution!
