Prior to assembly
Please read the instructions carefully before installation. It is important to follow your
local safety regulations and industry standards during installation. Regulations may
include but are not limited to :
- Safety helmets, protective eyewear, and clothing
- Safety harnesses for all elevated workers
- Proper ladder, cage, and safety operation
Check all components and parts before installation. All parts are marked with a part
number, please refer to the parts list to make sure you have all parts.
Choose a day with low or no wind to install, assembly is hard in heavy wind. Do not
make any alterations to the structure. Do not hang any weights on the frame during
installation, including parts. We are not responsible for any damages or injuries caused by
inappropriate installation, unauthorized modifications or extreme weather.
This building is not intended for human occupancy.
It is recommended to tape or add foam/rubber on the frame where joints connect and
where it touches the cover. This will help extend the life span of the cover.
Read the following item list carefully and count the number of items to ensure that all
parts are included prior to setup.
Installation steps
Step 1 : Review the whole structure and choose the proper installation site
Choose a solid flat level ground area to set up the building. Do not install the building on
soft ground, wetland, uneven surfaces, sloped surfaces, or on top of structures that are not
rated to hold its weight.
We strongly recommend that you build the structure on a solid foundation such as cement
and use anchor bolts on all baseplates.
Be aware of the surrounding area. Do not set up the building near snowdrifts, open
flames or exposed electrical wires. Do not keep heat sources near the fabric cover.
Keep the building surroundings clear at all times.

Step 3 : Put up the front (1st) truss
 Use of a crane or forklift is recommended, otherwise a team can use ropes to
lift the trusses, but you have to make sure it is safe, and have enough
manpower. We recommend 3 to 5 people to pull the truss up from different
directions. When the truss is up, tie the ropes to the heavy objects to make
sure the truss will stay upright and use bolt (#18) to connect the truss to the
baseplate on both sides (Picture 6).
 Parts used in this step: (4) Half round head bolt (#18)
Picture 6
Step 4 : Put up the rest trusses
 Refer to Step 3 to put up the rest trusses, connect all purlins (#5) with bolt
(#17) and secure all bolts firmly on each span before going to next truss
(Picture 7).

Step 5 : Install the diagonal bracing bars (#13)
 Connect diagonal bracing bar (#13) on the first and last span between the
shoulder tube and sidewall tube (#3A and #4) with tube clamp (#13A), use
bolt (#19A) (Picture 8).
 Parts used in this step :
- (2x2) Diagonal bracing bars (#13)
- (2x2) Tube clamps (#13A)
- (2x2) Bolts (#19A)

Step 8 : Install front cover panel
 The door cover must be zipped. Use rope (#24) to lift up the front and rear
cover (#23) from the center grommet and tie it firm to the truss tube and
spread toward both sides through each grommet along the tube.
 Insert the dropping tube (#15) into the bottom groove pocket on the door
cover. Tie two ropes (#20) separately on both sides of the peak arch tube.
Pull both ropes under through the bottom of the door cover from the back,
then go up from front and through both pulley 11A and 11B (Picture 11 &
12).
 The rope coming out from pulley 11B must go through the upper wheel of
pully 11A, then pull both ropes together slowly and start to lift the door
cover.
 Tie both ropes to the corner baseplate. Now the door cover is up. When you
drop down the door cover, do not let go too quick, otherwise it might get
stuck and damage the fabric.

Step 9 : Install rear cover panel
The door cover must be zipped. Use rope (#24) to lift up the rear cover (#23A)
from the center grommet and tie it firmly to the truss tube and spread toward
both sides through each grommet along the tube (Picture 13).

Picture 13
Step 10 : Install the top cover (#22)
Do not install the cover during windy weather!
 Unpack the top cover and place it along one of the long sides of the
structure.
 Use 3 to 5 ropes (#24) to pull the cover over the top of the structure, 2 or 3
people standing inside on ladders to push upwards will help to move the
cover smooth without any damage (Picture 14).
Picture 14

Page 15 of 17
Step 11 : 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 side on each end. Add or cut the rope as needed.
 Pull and stretch the cover enough only to take wrinkles out. Repeat for the
rear truss. Do not over stretch as it could rip off the grommets (Picture 15)
(Picture 15-view from outside)
Step 12 : Tension the cover on the structure from both sides (Picture 16)
 Insert tension tubes (#14) slowly into the bottom groove pocket on both long
sides. Add the water plug (#21) on the first tension tube to avoid tearing the
fabric and add one to the end of last tube as well.
 Repeat the same step for the other side.

Picture 16
Step 13 : Install ratchet straps (Picture 17)
Stretch and adjust the cover from left and right, back and forth, to make sure it is
square and centered. Cut the groove pocket where it aligns with ratchet (#7A),
and use strap (#25) to pull tension tube (#14) toward the ratchet and tie it firmly
there.
Evenly adjust all ratchets on both sides to take wrinkles out and make the cover
flat and smooth.

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 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 under
water 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.
