A Word About Safety

ʼ
t want you to get hurt in the
process of building and using it! Our comments and suggestions include the following:
•

permanent structure.
• The structure is not meant to support ice or snow. As such, ClearSpan
TM

•
Do not
place or use any open flame or other heat source under or near the canopy.
• Use a portable GFCI when working with corded power tools.
• Never erect a canopy directly under power lines.
• Be careful not to drive anchors into buried power cables.
