Step 5: Frame Assembly and Anchoring
Part 5
Note: The bevelled ends on each gusset should always face away from the wood it is attaching to.
I: Make sure the Frame Assembly is square and level then facing one Long Beam Assembly from the outside
place one (705) Gusset RT on the right hand side Main Post and one on the left side of the Mid Post so the tops
t tight to the Beam Assembly and the bottom ts tight to the posts. Attach each gusset to Long Beam Assembly
with two 5/16 x 3-1/2” Hex Bolts (with 5/16” lock washer, 1/4-5/16” large washer and 5/16” t-nut) per gusset. Pre-
drill with a 1/8” drill bit then attach each gusset to each post with three 1/4 x 1-15/16” Lag Screws (with 1/4-5/16”
large washer) per gusset. (F5.11 and F5.12)
J: Repeat Step I to install two (706) Gusset LT, one on the left hand side Main Post and the other on the right side
of the Mid Post. (F5.11 and F5.12)
K: Repeat Steps I and J for the second Long Side. (F5.11 and F5.12)
