POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION OF THE GARAGE

POSITIONING THE GARAGE

This garage is a temporary structure and is not recommended as a permanent 
building. It is designed to offer protection from sun, rain, light snow, tree sap 
and bird droppings etc. It is not designed to shelter equipment from 
excessively high winds or heavy snow.

Choose your garage location carefully. Check for overhead power lines, tree 
branches, etc. DO NOT install near roofs or other structures that may shed snow, 
ice or excessive run-off onto your garage.

SITING THE GARAGE

Erect your garage on level ground over a firm, level area. Allow enough 
space near each corner for the ground anchors and tie-down straps supplied 
to be used as intended. If the ground area is of tarmac or concrete, the use of 
ground anchor holding-down bolts will be required to anchor the garage to 
the floor.

Choose a dry location where dampness arising from ground water in the 
environment will not undermine the protection offer by the garage.

A masonry floor such as block paving or concrete is ideal, but if this is not 
being supplied, a timber or shuttering plywood floor, protected by a suitable 
groundsheet should be used. This will help to create a dry storage environment 
by insulating the garage storage space from ground moisture.

Proper anchoring and keeping the cover tight and free of snow and debris is 
the responsibility of the user. Damage caused by improper anchoring is not 
covered under warranty.

CARE OF THE GARAGE STRUCTURE

This garage is NOT designed to support heavy snow. Snow or ice 
accumulation may cause your garage to collapse. To avoid overloading, 
brush snow and ice off the roof top with a broom or mop to prevent collapse 
with the resultant damage to property or personal injury.

NEVER clear the roof of snow or debris from inside the garage.

DO NOT use hard-edged tools or instruments, such as rakes or shovels to 
remove snow. These can cause punctures to the cover.

DO NOT use bleach, alkaline or harsh detergents for cleaning. Doing so will 
damage the material. Soap and warm water are recommended.

In order to reduce risk of burning and avoid damage, DO NOT- cook, smoke, 
refuel or use any open flame devices in or around the garage.
