Preparation

• 1). Cut the EMT conduit into six five-foot lengths. Use a pipe cutter for this. The five-foot lengths will form the cross-pieces, or joists of the structure's roof.
  
  
• 2). Cut six more five-foot lengths of EMT conduit for the sides.
  
  
• 3). Cut two more five-foot lengths of EMT conduit for the peak of the roof.
  
  
• 4). Cut the EMT conduit into six 6-foot lengths for the poles on the sides, and three 12.5-foot lengths for the middle poles.
  
  

Assembly

• 1). Begin with the middle of the structure. Fit four of the 5-foot lengths into the middle fitting.
  
  
• 2). Fit the side fittings onto the ends of the EMT conduit, extending from the middle fitting.
  
  
• 3). Fit 5-foot lengths into the side fittings and connect them with the corner fittings.
  
  
• 4). Drape the tarp over the roof and secure it in place with string. Lash the corners and center of the tarp to the EMT conduit.
  
  
• 5). Lift the roof of the structure -- you will need two or more people as assistants -- and fit the posts into all the fittings. Put the foot fittings onto the bottom of all of the poles.
