1. Assemble ridge using three Rails (3) with 4-Way Ridge Connectors (6-1) between them, and
a 3-Way Ridge Connector (5-1) on each end.
The Rails connect to the straight ends of the Connectors
and the curved, free ends of the Connectors are angled down, as shown.

Anchoring Frame
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Contact local utility companies to ensure that the installation area is
free of pipes, cables, and other hazards BEFORE installing anchors or choosing installation area.
1. Position the frame in the desired installation location.
The location must be flat, level, and stable with good locations for the Anchors (14-1).
2. Level the frame end-to-end and side-to-side.
3. Measure the width of the frame at front and back, it should be 10′ 2″ wide.
The distance diagonally in one direction should be equal to the distance diagonally in the other direction.
If any measurements do not match, adjust the frame and retake measurements
until they are equal within a reasonable tolerance.
Note: If measurements cannot be made correct, then parts may not be seated together properly.

4. Once the frame is positioned, leveled, and squared, anchor the four Corner Legs (23) as follows:
a. Thread the Anchor (14-1) into the ground near
the Corner Leg (23) until the top of the Anchor
only extends about 3″ above the ground.
Note: Verify that there are no utility lines
nearby before driving anchors. If there are rocks
or other obstacles, holes may need to be
drilled first to allow proper anchoring.
b. Insert a Cable (14-2) through the anchor and
through the Corner Leg (23), as shown.
c. Pull the Cable (14-2) tight and secure
it using a Cable Clamp (14-3). Tighten
the two nuts on the Cable Clamp (14-3)
evenly to secure the Cable (14-2).
d. Repeat for all four Anchors (14-1)
and Corner Legs (23).
