If you're talking about the wall panel bolts, yes. I made sure my walls formed as near a perfect circle as possible using a tape measure (with all bolts a bit loose) and nudging (with a bit of effort) the walls until it was right. Then I secured all wall bolts tightly and attached each panel to the deck before lifting the dome on. Bolt at least one pannel to the deck first so your "nudging" doesnt shift the whole structure. Oh and make sure all the walls are level at the top - some shimming underneath may be necessary.

Not sure what you mean about the pier and the opening(?)
