We just got done putting the frame of one of these up. If you assemble the end structure and it has no extra bracing do not try and lift it all in once section. The apex bracket will fold up like butter
You are absolutely right not to try lifting an entire portal frame into place. If you choose to assemble the building this way then it will be important to sufficiently brace the portal frame prior to lifting. Our recommendation in the instruction manuals is that the columns are lifted into place with all brackets attached and then the rafters joined and lifted into place and bolted to the columns.
