SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

. Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) when working with power tools and cords.
. Do not climb on the shelter or framing during or after construction.
. Do not occupy the shelter during high winds, tornadoes, or hurricanes.
. Provide adequate ventilation if the structure is enclosed.
. Do not store hazardous materials in the shelter.
. Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent entrapment.
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.
. Your shelter’s cover can be quickly removed and stored prior to severe weather conditions. If strong
winds or severe weather is forecast in your area, we recommend removal of cover.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is essential. The following site characteristics will
help ensure the integrity of the structure.
. The support structure must be level to properly and safely erect and anchor the frame.
. Drainage: Water draining off 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.

sure doing not over pull the end of roof cover.
2. Pull the roof cover over frame EVENLY, CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY. Insert tensioning tube
(No.9) into the pipe pockets. Cut a small opening over against every base plate. Put the belt
(No.14) around tensioning tube and go through ratchet on base plate and loosely secure. DO
NOT TIGHTEN. Adjust the cover so that it is square and evenly centered on the frame.
Note: The end flaps must overhang evenly at both ends.
3. Use Knitting Rope (No.15) to tighten roof cover to end arches.
4. When roof cover is tidy and ready, drive the ratchet tie down forth and back and then roof cover
is tightened in the vertical direction.
