Step 6 : Stretch and tighten top cover.
The roof cover must be stretched and tied to the front and rear truss by rope
going through the flap grommets on the cover. Start from the top center and go
toward both sides on each end. Add or cut the rope as needed.
Pull and stretch the cover enough only to take wrinkles out. Do not over
stretch as it could rip off the grommets (Figure 9).

After the Installation
Walk around and inspect the shelter periodically to make sure all components are
still firmly secured and the whole shelter is well supported. Check all bolts and nuts
as well as all connection points to make sure they are all in a good position. Check
the base plates, adjust the ropes and tie-downs if required and clean the cover
regularly.
Snow accumulating on the fabric cover must be removed as soon as possible. If snow
becomes solid ice on the cover, it will increase the weight on the roof and may
collapse the shelter or reduce the life span.
Keep the shelter on a dry ground most of the time. Do not keep the fabric dirt skirt
underwater all the time, otherwise, the fabric will deteriorate.
We strongly recommend you remove any snow from the roof immediately. Do
not leave any snow load on the roof overnight. Keep 3 feet of clearance on all
sides at all times. Do not allow snow to accumulate and pile up on the sides of the
building. Otherwise, the pressure from the sides will push inwards and could
lead to a collapse.
