ANCHORING THE CONTAINER
Make sure you have:
•Welder.
•Cement.
•Four 3” x 3” x 6 feet ¼” Square steel angle
1. As shown in the diagram 1, make a 3 ft deep hole right beside one of the front and
opposite rear corners of the container, in which the 6ft square steel will be installed.
2. Insert the 6ft square steel into the hole, making sure 3ft is below the surface
completely laying on the side of the containers.
3. Weld the square steel to the 2 containers.
4. Pour cement in the holes to make sure the square steel won’t move.
5. Repeat the previous steps on the corners located in the opposite rear side.
Securing the containers to the floor is crucial, that way the containers won’t shift
under harsh weather conditions, thus avoiding the shipping container canopy roof top
of getting damaged.

Highly Recommended
1. All container canopy covers need to be removed during windstorm of 60 mph,
leaving frame assembled. Customer responsibility.
2. All container canopy covers need to be removed before a snowstorm of 1-2 inches
(for single truss Shipping container roofs) and 3-4 inches (for double truss Shipping
container roofs), leaving the frame assembled. Customer responsibility.
3. It is highly recommended for customers who live in snow states and cities to use
double truss framing instead of Single truss framing. Customer responsibility.
4. It’s the owner's responsibility to shovel snow off the canopy rooftop.
5. All containers need to be anchored to the ground in each opposite corner sides.
Customer responsibility.
6. All of our products fall under the temporary structure category/storage ragtops.
Return Policy: Any product can be returned within 7 calendar days after arrival; shipping
expenses are not refundable. For more information, please refer to the Return and refund
policy page.
About lifespan:
Tarp lifespan: 7-10 years*
Frame Lifespan: +15 years*
*The term "lifespan" refers to the durability of the materials themselves, not to the
structural integrity of the canopy once assembled.

SPECIFICATIONS
Width: 40 ft
Length: 40 ft
Height: 15 ft
IMPORTANT: READ MANUAL FIRST
Life span is only on the is only on the material itself not on the installation on the canopy
structure. 7 to 10 years on the tarp and 15 years on the frame.
Improper site preparation, assembly and maintenance may invalidate warranty and cause
unnecessary and costly mistakes. If you have any questions, contact your local dealer.
For an easy assembly process, we have identified each individual component with the part
code as indicated in the parts list. Please refer to the part code numbers and drawing to
ensure problem-free assembly.
It is necessary to tighten the roof fabric enough to avoid “hammocks” on the roof; also re-
tighten once or twice again after a few months of use. This is important when assembled
during cold seasons (autumn and winter) because the fabric gets stiff in these weather
conditions. When the weather conditions become warmer, the fabric loosens and needs
to be re-tighten
It is the owner’s responsibility to take off snow immediately, otherwise it will slide off on
its own.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
1. Keep the work area clean. Accidents are more likely in cluttered areas. Do not set
up near snow drifts, in slippery places, in high winds, or wet locations.
2. All children should be kept away from the work area.
3. Don’t overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance.
4. Do not assemble under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on
medication prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired
while taking them. If there is any doubt, do not assemble.
5. Be aware of possible windy conditions; fasten the bases in concrete if these
conditions are likely to occur. Remove the cover during hurricanes.
6. Be careful with power and heat sources. Do not keep heat sources near the
tarpaulin. Do not expose to open flame.
7. Be aware of personal safety during assembly and use. Be careful not to pinch
your fingers with clips and tubes when assembling: When using, make sure there
is adequate ventilation for any dangerous fumes.

EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS FOR INSTALLATION
1. Measuring tape
2. Alignment string
3. Step ladder
4. Welder
5. Sledgehammer
6. Wrench
7. Scissors
INSTALLATION PROCESS
A - BASE PLATES INSTALLATION
Please refer to the Figure 1 to place the base plates.
Figure 1
1. The measure must be taken from center to center of the base plates. Refer to the
diagram above and confirm the place of the base plates. ENSURE THAT THE
FOUNDATIONS ARE SQUARE.
2. All the base plates need to be welded on the Containers.

5
B - FRAME INSTALLATION (Refer to figure 2 for the full diagram)
Figure 2
1. Connect the Roof Bent Tube (part code 1), the Upside Bent Tube (part code 2), the
Underside Bent Tube (part code 3) and the Lower Bent Tube (part code 4) with the
Bolt M10x100 (part code 9); these make one group of arches. Please NOTE the
direction of the bolt. DO NOT install the bolts on the top of the truss where the
fabric will rest.
2. Insert one end of the assembled arch into one base plate and force the other end
of the arch into the opposite base plate.
Figure 3

6
3. After installing the first two arches, connect the Connection purlin (part code 5)
onto them using the Bolts M12x110 (part code 8). There are 7 pieces of Connection
purlins (part code 5) between each arch.
4. Install the Inclined Support tube (part code 6) using Clip for Inclined Support Tube
(part code 7). Assemble the frame by turns like this.
Figure 4
5. Then install the third arch into the base plate and connect the purlins.
6. Assemble the arches one by one until the frame is finished.

7
C - ROOF COVER INSTALLATION
NOTE: DO NOT install the cover onto the frame of your building in high wind conditions. A
slight breeze is the most advantageous for cover installation. To take advantage of the
breeze, pull the cover up over the arches with the breeze blowing in the cover like a sail
filled with air.
1. Assemble Tensioning Tube (part code 16) before installing the cover. Insert the
Tensioning Tube (part code 16) into the pockets on the end of the roof cover (part
code 13). Then put the ∮32 Plastic plug (part code 15).
Figure 5
2. Put the Roof cover (part code 13) EVENLY, CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY atop the
frame. Adjust the cover so that it is square and evenly centered on the frame.
Figure 6

8
3. Cut pockets over each ratchet on the base plates and put the Tensioning Tube for
roof cover (part code 16) into the pocket of Roof cover. Then use the Nylon band
(part code 11) to tie down the Lower tensioning tubes as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 7
4. Weld the Angle seats (part code 12) on each container and use Rope (part code 14)
to knit the cover on the two side arches and tie the Roof cover to the Angle seats.

Please, check the detailed installation pictures below:
NOTES:
-DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOF COVER UNATTACHED UNDER ANYCIRCUMSTANCES until
the final assembly and tightening has been completed.
-The process is quite easy, but some tightening adjustments will be necessary to get
a flat, tensioned roof cover. Please adjust the roof cover every month.
-Wrap tape around the gap between the steel after installing.
