Note: A comprehensive and detailed installation and assembly guide is included with each purchase to ensure precise and correct setup.
1. Container Alignment
Position the shipping containers to align with the predetermined width dimensions of the shelter, which is generally the centres of each of the ends of the truss connections. This ensures that the entire dome structure will fit securely and maintain stability.
2. Base Plate Assembly
This shelter features a welded base plate design with specially made plates with roof truss spigot connections form the support for the double truss structure.
3. Roof Truss Construction
Lay out the truss sections on a flat surface and proceed to bolt each section together to form a complete truss. This step requires attention to detail to ensure each section is correctly aligned and securely connected.
4. Roof Truss Installation
Proceed to lift each assembled truss one at a time. This step will require lifting equipment depending on the size and weight of the arches. After installing the first two trusses and connecting them to the base plates, connect the roof purlins to each truss arch using the clips provided. Continue to install the rest of the trusses and purlins.
5. Roof Cover Installation
Start by gently unpacking the shelter cover onto a flat surface away from dirt, mud or any other substrates which may damage the cover or soil the appearance. Lift the cover onto one container, then methodically pull one side of the cover up and over the roof structure to the other container. Secure the edges of the cover firmly, applying the correct tension to ensure a snug fit. This step is crucial for weatherproofing and overall stability of the shelter.
