1.2 ASSEMBLING INSTRUCTIONS ARC-ROOF 8X6 

1) Assemble both up-downstage spans out of square H30V-trussing on the left and right sides of 

the construction (fig. 1). 

page 4 

(fig 1)

2) Assemble the arches. Make sure you put spacers (item no: 20) in between the joint of each arch. 

A special spacer with keder (item no: 19) is supplied for those chords which hold a keder. 

See detail B, page 35. 

7

3) After the arches are assembled mount them between the side spans. Make sure that the keder profile on the front arch sits on the 

outside. For the arches in middle and back the keder profile should sit at the back chord of the truss (fig. 2).

4) Then mount the canopy support tubes as shown in detail B, page 35.

5) Take the 4 ratchet-straps (item no 28 or 36, page 20) and attach them to the eyes, which are welded in the corners and on the 

middle of each arch (see detail 1 & 2 below). Put them slightly and simultaneously under tension, t.i about 50 daN (= 50 kgf). 

(fig 4)

6) Pull the canopy through the kader profiles on top of the arches (fig. 5). Make sure this is done evenly and with care. To facilitate 

this processes use some Teflon spray on a regular basis. Also make sure that the keder profile is maintained. Burrs, damages or 

sharp edges will damage the canopy and reduce the life span dramatically. 

page 6 

(fig 5) 

7) Put the tubes through the sleeve in the canopy and attach the ratchets as shown in fig.6. 

Put the ratchet slightly under tension, not exceeding 50kgf per ratchet. There is no need to transfer the canopy into a drum skin. 

(fig 6)

8) Lifting the roof. This can be done on two ways: 

a) as the legs are constructed from H30V-L100 length trusses the roof can be lifted manually. 

By lifting alternating the left or right side a 100cm truss length can be stuck underneath each leg. 

NB! Make sure lifting is done evenly (fig.7). 

b) By means of 4 Genie lifts. In this case the required length for the legs can be mounted randomly 

(fig 7) 

9) By alternating this handling side-by-side each leg can be constructed out of 3 pcs of 100cm H30V truss. 

10) Attach the stabilizer tubes under 45 degree in each corner (item no: 16). 

11) Mount the base sections (item no: 8) to the truss by lifting the legs one by one.

12) When all base sections are in place level the system by adjusting the screw jacks (item no: 10). 

Determine the highest point and start from there leveling the roof

13) It is not necessary to lift the castor wheels from the ground. It is sufficient when the screw jacks touch the ground-surface. In case 

the structure is loaded, the castors wheels can’t be pressed any further and the screw jacks take the entire load. 

14) Attach the guy-wire set in the back side (items no 28, 29, 30). 

NOTE ! When built in Germany items 37, 38, 39, 40 should be used. See detail C, page 35. 

15) Now the stage can be built underneath the roof. Connect the legs to the stage, this can safe considerably in the total amount of 

ballast needed. 

16) Ballast must be placed aside the base sections (see figures 9.1, 9.2, 9.3) to prevent uplifting of the roof by wind forces. All 

additional loading, such as scaffolding or stage-elements fixed to the corner legs or the base sections, can be subtracted from the 

amount of counterweight needed. 

page 8 

Following examples can be used as ballast – depending on the local building codes and regulations: 

- Water tanks connected to the towers / base sections. 

- In case of a complete rigid stage structure (like a scaffolding stage), the total weight of the stage may be taken in account as 

ballast when connected properly to the towers. 

- Ground anchors. 

- Concrete blocks. 

- Canvas bags filled with sand, rubble. 

- Steel. 

(fig 9.1) 

17) After the ballast is applied the sidewall canopies can be mounted. 

18) The roof is now ready for use. Loads can be applied
