ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to assembling this shelter, please read the MUST
READ document included with the shipment.
WARNING: The anchor assembly is an integral part of
the shelter construction. Improper anchoring may
cause shelter instability and failure of the structure.
Failing to anchor the shelter properly will void the
manufacturer’s warranty and may cause serious injury
and damage.
LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure.
The following suggestions and precautions will help you
determine whether your selected location is the best
location.
• Never erect the structure under power lines.
• Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
present before preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
• Location should be away from structures that could
cause snow to drift on or around the building.
• Do not position the shelter where large loads such as
snow and ice, large tree branches, or other overhead
obstacles could fall.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is
essential. Follow the information below.
• A level site is required. The site must be level to
properly and safely erect and anchor the structure.
• For sites that are not concrete or gravel, placing wood
blocks or other suitable supports under each rafter leg
or the perimeter base frame (if present) helps prevent
the pipes from sinking or working into the site.
• Drainage: Water draining o󰀨 the structure and from
areas surrounding the site should drain away from the
site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
contents of the structure.
WARNING: The individuals assembling this structure
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who
are not familiar with recognized construction methods
and techniques must seek the help of a qualified
contractor.

LIST OF WORDS AND PHRASES
Before you begin, it is important to become familiar with the
words and phrases used in this instruction manual.
These words and phrases are common to most
ClearSpan™ shelters and identify the di󰀨erent parts of
the shelter. (Some are used in this document. Others may
not apply to this particular shelter.) These terms describe
the shipped parts and can also be found on the materials
list/spec sheets included with the shipment. To aid in the
assembly, read through the following denitions before you
begin to assemble your shelter.
• Conduit: An assembly of pipes used to secure the
main cover and end panels (if equipped). Purlins and
some strut assemblies also consist of connected pipes
to form a conduit. Each pipe joint of a conduit assembly
is secured with a self-tapping Tek screw.
• Coupler or Fitting: A part of the frame assembly
where legs, purlins and rafter pipes are inserted and
secured. In most instances, 3-way and 4-way couplers
are used. In some larger applications, couplers are
used to secure the joints of the di󰀨erent rafter sections
during the assembly of the rafters. Some shelters do
not use couplers.
• Foot or Rafter Foot: The part attached to and found
at the base of the rafter or leg of the shelter.
Depending on the shelter, the foot is an optional
purchase. Some shelters do not o󰀨er an optional foot.
Some use 1-way connectors; others use ground posts.
• Must Read Document: This document includes
building and shelter anchoring instructions, steps for
end wall reinforcement, safety precautions, and notices
and warnings. The Must Read document is sent with all
shelters and buildings. If you did not receive a Must
Read document, contact Customer Service to request
one.
• On-Center: Term used to describe a measurement
taken from the vertical center of the rafter or frame
member to the vertical center of another.
• Purlin: The pipe assembly that runs perpendicular to
the rafters or framework that supports the main cover.
Purlins are found on the sides and roof areas of the
assembled frame, are evenly spaced, and typically run
from the front to the back of the shelter.
• Plain or Straight Pipe: A term used to describe a pipe
that has the same diameter or width throughout its
entire length.
• Strut: A strut is usually a length of pipe with two
attened ends and is used for diagonal bracing of the
shelter frame. A strut is typically secured to the frame
work by special brackets and bolts.
• Swaged End or Swaged Pipe: The term “swaged”
refers to the tapered end of the pipe or tube. Swaged
ends of a pipe can be inserted into couplers and the
straight ends of other pipes.
• Tek screw: A self-tapping fastener used to secure pipe
joints and to fasten brackets to rafters.

bags containing smaller parts such as fasteners or
washers.
LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE
After the site is prepared, identify the location of the shelter
corners helps to square the frame after it is assembled.
Taking these steps before assembling the shelter saves
time and ensures that the structure is positioned as
desired. The following procedure is a suggested method. Its
use depends on the size of the shelter, shelter application,
the footings, and the method used to anchor the shelter.
QUICK START DIAGRAMS
For a quick overview of the shelter and its components,
consult the Quick Start diagrams at the back of these
instructions.
Continue with FRAME ASSEMBLY procedures that follow.
SQUARE THE SITE
1. Identify a corner where a building rafter will be
positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact
width of the building and stake in place.
2. Sting a line at least as long as the building from the rst
stake at 90°.
NOTE: A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°
angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.
Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20
helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.
3. After squaring the position of the building and placing
a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes
to mark the base of the building.
NOTE: Depending on length, shelters that include side
base rails may not require that you mark the site to
position the shelter. However, these steps are useful as
the shelter length increases.

END PANEL INSTALLATION: BACK (CONTINUED)
5. Slide each end of the end panel pipe into the remaining
opening of each 3-Way coupler located at the ends of
the end rafter legs.
NOTE: It may be necessary to spread the end rafter to
insert the pipe into each coupler. The end panel shown
in the insert has been hidden to better see the pipe and
coupler.
6. Secure the pipe ends in each coupler with either a
locking eyebolt or a Tek screw.
7. With the end panel conduit secure between the end
rafter legs, pull the end panel up and over the end
rafter and attach it to the rafter using Tek screws and
fabric clips.
NOTE: Refer to Step 7 of the previous End Panel
Installation procedure if needed.
8. Trim the excess panel material if desired.

RATCHET INSTALLATION
The main cover is secured to the shelter frame using
ratchets and straps. Two (2) ratchets are attached to each
of the end panel conduits. (These are the pipe or tube
assemblies installed in the bottom pocket of each end
panel.)
The remaining ratchets are evenly spaced and attached to
the rafter legs immediately across from one another along
the sides of the frame.
NOTE: For some shelters, ratchets are attached to each
mid rafter; for other shelters, ratchets are attached to every
other mid rafter.
The main point is to position the ratchets as evenly as
possible along each side of the shelter and immediately
across from one another.
Ratchet Locations: Ratchets are attached to the outside
of the rafter legs and to the end panel conduit as shown
above. Frame shown may differ in length.
Complete these steps to attach the ratchets to the frame:
1. Locate the ratchets and Tek screws used to attach the
ratchets to the frame.
2. Move to the outside of the front end rafter and attach
one (1) ratchet to the frame tube as shown in the
diagram that follows.
Ratchet is attached approximately 10" in from the
center of the end rafter pipe so it is in line with the
strap in the main cover bonnet when the main cover is
installed.
3. Repeat Step 2 to attach the remaining ratchets to the
end frame conduits.
4. Move to each end rafter and attach a ratchet to the side
of the rafter as shown in the next diagram.
NOTE: All side ratchets are attached to the rafter leg
just above the top of the coupler.
10"
Tek screw
ATTENTION: Each corner of the shelter will resemble
the corner shown in the above insert.
5. Divide, evenly space, and attach the remaining ratchets
along each side of the shelter frame.
6. After attaching all ratchets, verify that the frame is
anchored and that all anchors are tight and install the
main cover.

MAIN COVER INSTALLATION
The main cover is secured to the frame using ratchets and
straps. The straps are wrapped around a conduit inserted
in a pocket along each side of the cover.
When installed properly, the main cover skirt covers the
ratchets and straps used to secure the cover in place.
WARNING: To prevent damage to the cover and to
prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the main cover on windy days.
The following steps describe one way to assemble the
cover conduits and to install the main cover.
1. Locate the round 1.315" pipes for the cover conduits
and assemble the two (2) cover conduits for the main
cover.
Each cover conduit assembly consist of following
swaged and plain pipes:
These cover conduits are inserted into the pockets
sewn into the main cover. The conduits are used to
tighten and secure the main cover.
3. Locate the main cover and spread it out on the ground
(with its underside facing up) along the side of the
assembled and anchored frame. See diagram below.
6. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the
conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the
frame.
7. Toss the ropes over the frame and pull the cover into
position. One person is required at each rope.
NOTE: Do not use the straps in the bonnet pocket
of the main cover to pull the cover into place. These
straps will pull out.
8. With the cover on the frame, center the cover end-to-
end and side-to-side as needed.
Ropes
NOTE: The black straps in the main cover are
positioned at the front and back of the assembled
frame.
4. Insert the cover conduits into the pockets along the
sides of the main cover.
5. After inserting the cover conduits and with the cover
positioned along the side of the frame, attach ropes to
both ends of the cover conduit. Wrap the rope around
the conduit a few times to prevent it from slipping o󰀨.
