Erecting the 2nd Beam. Erect the 2nd beam the same as above, except that the beam harness
hooks to the top hole in the fixed end of the apex purlin. And, instead of diagonal beam braces, the
2nd beam is stabilized by connecting its SpanLatch™ purlins to the first beam (See top of Pg 14).
Using the purlin hook, push the SpanLatch™ end of each purlin to the top of the beam a few feet
above each joint. Then hook backwards, pulling the latching end down the beam slope to engage
the latch. Before erecting remaining beams, proceed to the bottom of page 14 and install the dou-
ble-latch eave purlins in the first bay, align the first (2) beams perpendicular to the anchoring surface,
and connect the lower ends of all cross-cabling in the first bay. When the first bay is stabilized
with cabling (bottom, page 14), remove the diagonal braces and erect all remaining beams, repeat-
ing the cabling pattern in the last and final bay and other bays as required (see the Footprint
Drawing.)
