Sidewall Construction Instructions
Figure 5C
Using correct size bin bolts throughout, begin assembling sidewall sheets end to end (overlapping the
same way throughout) until the ring is complete. All body sheet bolts are to be installed with the bolt head
and its neoprene washer to the outside and the nut on the inside. Do not tighten bolts until all sheets are
assembled and form a complete ring. Tighten the bolts in sequence, starting from the center and work to
the edge in both directions. This permits the sidewall sheets to draw-up evenly.
After assembling the second ring, lift the top ring sheets in place, add top stiffeners, build the Top Dry
floor, then the roof.
NOTE: The sidewall sheets used for the top ring are punched to accommodate the eave flashing bolts.
NOTE: The fan entrance sheet and access door are located in the second ring. Attach the top stiffeners,
leaving out the seven (7) bolts indicated in Figure 5D at each stiffener location. Install the flashing
bolts from the outside.
