4INSTALL FILM END PANELS
Gather the parts:
• End panel film
• Poly latch U-channel (#102197)
• Spring for U-channel (#102198)
• Tek screws (#FA4482)
View the diagrams to install the poly latch U-channel and
attach the end panel film.
1. Using Tek screws, attach sections of the poly latch U-channel along the outside
of the frame base and to the door header as shown in the diagrams.
NOTE: If main cover is installed, uninstall the main cover from the U-channel on
the end rafter. Reinstall main cover after end film has been installed.
2. Unfold and position the end film over the end rafter. Drape some of the material
over the top rafter leaving enough to reach the ground plus 6" - 12". Center the
film so equal excess material is on each side of the shelter. Tape can be used to
temporarily hold material in place if needed.
3. Once end film is in position, attach the film to the rafter. Starting at the top of the
end rafter and working your way down each side, wiggle the wire spring back and
forth to seat the spring into the previously installed U-channel, holding the film in
place. Be sure to pull the film tight while working down the end rafter.
4. Install the spring into the U-channel
attached to the door header and along
the frame base. Pull the film snug while
installing the spring.

door frame once the final diagonal cuts are made.
6. Using the diagram below as a guide, cut the end
panel to remove the section that is shaded.
7. Fold flaps to the inside of the door frame and secure
to the jambs by attaching the 102197 U-channel over
the film using Tek screws. See diagrams on this page
and the following page.

SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of your ClearSpan™ building
is important. Check the following items periodically to
properly maintain your building:
• Regularly check the main cover and end panels to see
that these remain tight and in proper repair.
• Frequently check the anchoring system and all
components. Replace worn or damaged parts
immediately.
• Check all fasteners frequently to verify that these
remain tight and in good repair.
• Do not climb or stand on the building or frame at
anytime.
• Check the door panels and all fasteners to ensure
these remain tight and in good condition. To prevent
damage or possible injury, do not allow the door panels
to remain unlatched or unsecured if they are open.
• Remove debris and objects that may accumulate on
the shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover
when removing debris.
• Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use
tools that will not damage the cover when removing
snow. Never allow snow to accumulate on the main
cover or to remain against the sides or end panels after
it is removed from the main cover.
• Check the contents of the shelter to verify that
nothing is touching the cover or panels that could
cause damage.
• Replace all worn or damaged parts.
• For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881
for assistance.
NOTE: With the exception of Truss Arch buildings,
ClearSpan™ shelters and greenhouses do not have any
tested loading criteria.
