Fig. 5.1
A: Move your Post Assemblies to the nal location.
Make sure the ground is at and level before
continuing assembly.
B: With one person at each Post stand two complete
Post Assemblies. A third person places one Long
Beam Assembly against the outside of two Posts,
ush to the tops and outside corners. Notice bolt
hole orientation on the Long Beam Assembly and
the long side of the Post Assembly is along the Long
Beam Assembly. A fourth person attaches Beam to
Post with one 3/8 x 9-1/2” Hex Bolt (with two 3/8”
large washers and one 3/8” lock nut) per Post. The
distance from the outside of one Post to the outside
of the second Post should be 12’ 10-3/8” (3.92 m).
(g. 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3)
C: Place one Short Beam Assembly against the
outside of two Posts, ush to the tops and outside
corners and tight to Long Beam Assembly. Notice
bolt hole orientation on the Short Beam Assembly
and the short side of the Post Assembly is along the
Short Beam Assembly. Attach Beam to Post with one
3/8 x 9-1/2” Hex Bolt (with two 3/8” large washers and
one 3/8” lock nut) per Post. The distance from the
outside of one Post to the outside of the second Post
should be 10’ 10-3/8” (3.31 m). Continue until all
four Beam Assemblies are attached and the corners
are tight together. (g. 5.1 and 5.2) See g. 5.3 for
accurate positioning of Posts.
