STEP 1 IF YOU ARE USING BASE PLATES: SIDE POST LAYOUT

STEP 1: MARKING THE SIDE POST LOCATIONS

Using a pencil or other marking devise, on the top of the slab mark the location of the leading edge of each side post. The

space between marks will be 4’, 5’ or 6’. Make these marks down the full length of the building on both sides of the

building. If you use a speed square to mark the line on the slab and make the line about 6” long you will be able to see

the line from both sides of the post when you install the posts.

SIDE POSTS AND HEIGHT EXTENSIONS

If your building is 10’ at the eave, you will not be installing a height extension. The base plate is welded to the bottom of

each side post. The side post for a 10’ building is a 2” x 4” x 6’ tube with a anchor or base plate welded to one end. If your

building is 12’ at the eave you will assemble a 6’ side post (no plate) to a 2’ height extension. The height extensions have

a base plate welded to the bottom. A height extension has one end swaged or reduced to fit into the side post. The

swage is 6” long. If your building is 14’ at the eave you will use a 4’ height extension. A 16’ building uses a 6’ height ex-

tension.

ASSEMBLY OF SIDE POST TO HEIGHT EXTENSION: The side post is a cut piece of tubing 2” x 4” x 6’. Insert the top of

the height extension into the side post and attach with (4) #12 x 3/4” self-drilling screws.
