Installation Instructions

Unfold each frame, setting aside (2) frames to be
used as end walls. From 1×4 pine boards, cut
gusset plates 6" long:
• (20) for a 10' building • (32) for a 16' building
• (24) for a 12' building • (36) for a 20' building
• (28) for a 14' building
Apply gusset plates on each side of the top and
bottom fold locations. Use (4) 8d nails on each
gusset plate. Frames used as end walls require only (1) gusset plate at the top and bottom on the
side opposite the metal plates. See Figure 1.
