Prepare and Square the Building Site
PREPARE THE BUILDING SITE
A level site is required to accurately and safely construct
the building. Consult the services of a qualified contractor
to properly grade and prepare the site.
Site should slope away from the building for proper water
drainage.
After the site is prepared, mark the location of the frame
corners to square the frame position. Taking these steps
before assembling the shelter saves time and ensures
that the structure is square and positioned as desired.
The following procedures are suggested methods.
Their use depends on the size of the shelter, shelter
application, the footings (if applicable), and the method
used to anchor the shelter.
When in doubt, consult the services of a qualified
contractor experienced with the construction of similar
structures.
Base Plates
SQUARE THE SITE: GENERAL STEPS
1. Identify a corner where a building rafter will be
positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact
width of the building and stake in place. (Width of the
rafter is measured from center-to-center of the rafter
pipes/ground posts.)
2. After the first corner stake is in place, string a line the
width of the building (center-to-center) and drive the
second corner stake into the ground.
3. String a line at least as long as the building 90° from
the line between the first and second stakes.
If your frame includes base plates, prepare the site and
anchor the base plates to concrete before assembling
the frame. Layout the site and continue with Base Plates
Option section.
Base plates can be anchored to a concrete slab or
concrete piers. Consult Ground Post section for concrete
pier layout, then continue with Base Plates section.
Ground Posts
If the frame includes ground posts, set all ground posts
as described within this manual. Width of the shelter
is measured from the center of one ground post to the
center of the remaining ground post. Length is also
measured center-to-center. If your building includes
ground posts, continue with the Setting Ground Post
section.
SETTING THE GROUND POSTS
The frame assembly of this building requires the
setting of all ground post in concrete. Review the
layout diagrams for additional details.
NOTE: A transit can be used to ensure an accurate
90° angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to
diagram. Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or
12-16-20 helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.
4. After squaring the position of the building, measure
the length and drive the third corner stake.
5. Repeat the same step for the last corner stake.
NOTE: The distance measured diagonally between
corner stakes must be equal for the building to be
square.
Enlist the services of a professional and competent
contractor to prepare the site and set the ground posts.
Failing to secure ground posts in concrete as required
may result in damage to the building, building contents,
and surrounding property.
Revision date: 03.06.19 S500_42_Wide_HT_Roll_up
IMPORTANT: Do not drive ground posts into the
ground! Doing so will damage the swaged end making
it difficult if not impossible to set rafter onto the posts
during frame assembly.

Set Ground Posts
MARK THE SITE AND DIG POST HOLES
These steps describe marking all post hole locations and digging
the holes. For some sites, it may not be possible to complete the
procedure in this manner. An alternative procedure such as working
from one end of the building toward the other may be necessary.
Determine the best procedure based on the site and other factors
and proceed as needed.
NOTE: Refer to the Quick Start Section located near the back
of these instructions for the Side Profile and related diagrams.
Complete these steps:
1. Stake the outline of the building using string line and batter boards. Set batter boards 3' back from the building
corners. Check to ensure that the building layout is square. Cover or panels (if equipped) will not install properly if
the building frame is not square once assembled.
2. Consult the diagrams in the Quick Start section to verify the frame length and width dimensions and to accurately
position the ground posts.
3. Guided by the string line, use a flag or stake to mark each ground post hole location.
4. Move the string line and dig a post hole a minimum of two feet (2') deep or to a depth that is below the geographic
frost line. Consult local building codes. A power auger works best. Minimum hole diameter is 12".
5. After digging all holes, reattach the string line to the batter boards and use it as a guide to set and align the
ground posts.
Drawing may show layout of a different length. Refer to
Quick Start section located in the back of these instructions
