30’ Navi-Trac Frame Terminology
INTRODUCTION:
The NAVI-TRAC frame configuration is based on the hip roofed square tent shown below.
Hip bars connect corners to the peak, and rafters connect eave bars to the peak. The square can be extended into a rect-
angle by adding 10’, 15’ or 20’ bays made up of rafters and the appropriate ridge/eave bars (see below). In the square
tent, female eave bars and rafters are connected to eave weldments by rigid slip joints. Hip bars and eave/ridge bars and
rafters in the middle bays use easy to install drop-in fittings.
The NAVI-TRAC frame is made up of extruded aluminum members joined by weldments such as corner weldments, ridge
weldments, eave weldments, etc. The aluminum frame members themselves are extruded with channels into which the
NAVI-TRAC fabric “kedar” is fed.
The first bay added to the square tent shape is a “starter” bay. This starter bay allows a slip fit connection to the square
tent eaves on one end of the weldment and a drop-in connection for the new starter bay eaves on the other end of the
weldment.
Subsequent bays added to the unit are “extension” bays. Extension bays allow drop-in connections on both ends of the
eave weldments.
The chart on page 5 lists components needed for the 30’
x 30’ square tent, the first (starter) extension, and for each
additional extension to be added to the unit. Note: starter
mids or bays and extension mids are available in options
of 10’, 15’ or 20’ increments of length, as shown.
