12xPB-8 Written Instruction
7) Your top cover has been fan folded. Standing outside of the building and looking at the front, place
the cover outside the building on the ground on the left side and unroll it to the back.
NOTE: We suggest you remove the two ratchets from the edge of the cover that is going to be
pulled up and over the frame. If the ratchets are left in place, they tend to get hooked up on
the frame and there is the possibility of being hit by them.
Pull the cover up and over the frame. The cover should overlap each end by about six (6) inches.
8) Going inside the building, pull all of the web straps under the base frame and put them into the
spring buckles. Leave loose.
9) Anchor the four (4) ratchets. There are several options offered:
a) Anchor the ratchet to the base corner. Using a ¼" x 2" hex cap bolt, through bolt the
ratchet to the base corner. You will need to puncture a hole in the fabric wall end for the
bolt to go through.
b) Anchor the ratchet to the building platform. Using the grommet that is in the web strap with
hook, bolt the web strap to your platform.
c) Anchor the ratchet to the ground. Using the augers (provided) screw the auger into the
ground and hook, bolt, or tie the web strap to it.
NOTE: In high wind areas it is very important to securely anchor your building to the ground. It
is possible for the building to blow away.
