Stand the first End Arch Assembly and the first Interior
Arch Assembly up vertically into position. The base and
side cross rail end holes align with the holes in the
interior arch to make the first connections. Using (4)
with nuts and washers, connect the cross rails between
the end arch and the first interior arch assemblies. The
two Arches must be supported upright until the Wind
Braces are put into place or the frame will fall. Connect
the (2) #9 Wind Braces diagonally across the end and
interior arch as shown in the frame illustration. Once the
Wind Brace are installed the frame will be self-
supporting.
Begin the Top Ridge Cross Rail by placing a #5 Cross
Rail underneath the End Arch Top Crest Tube. Secure
the Cross Rail loosely with a 3” Carriage Bolt with
washer and nut facing the interior of the unit. Male End
of next Cross Rail fits into Female end of cross rail.
Cross Rails are built by placing rails into each other on
the same carriage bolt.
Add #5 Cross Rails MxF to base, side and top ridge
before adding the next Interior Arch. The carriage bolts
on the arch assemblies also go through the common
hole on each rail assembly.

Step 5 – Add Remaining Arches To Frame
Add remaining 3 interior arches and rear end arch in the
same fashion. Note that the Swedged #4 Cross Rails
should fasten under the Top Ridge Bend of the final End
Arch and above the Top Ridge Bend of the interior
arches.
NOTE: Do not completely tighten bolts that connect the
Cross Rails to the End Arches. They must be removed
for proper End Panel Zippered Door installation
