SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance of your shelter is important. 

Check the following items periodically to properly maintain 

your shelter.
•  Regularly inspect the main cover and panels (if 

equipped) to see that these remain tight and in proper 

repair.

•  Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they 

remain tight.

•  Do not climb or stand on the shelter at anytime.
•  Remove debris and objects that accumulate on the 

shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover when 

removing debris.

•  Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use 

tools that will not damage the cover when removing 

snow.

 NEVER ALLOW SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ON 

THE ASSEMBLED SHELTER.

•  Check the contents of the shelter to verify that  

nothing is touching the cover, side panels, or the end 

panels that could cause damage.

•  Check the anchoring system to ensure that all 

components are tight and in good repair.

•  Review the MUST READ document for anchoring 

requirements.

•  Inspect all building components regularly. Replace all 

worn or damaged parts promptly.

•  If the shelter is disassembled and moved, inspect all 

parts and connections before reassembling.

•  For replacement or missing parts, call 1.800.245.9881 

for assistance.

 With the exception of Truss Arch buildings,  

ClearSpan™ shelters and greenhouses

pocket at the rafter position.

the cover conduit.

 It may be necessary to remove excess strap if it 

binds up in the ratchet.

11.  Using additional help (if needed) tighten the main 

cover beginning with the ratchets along the sides of the 

shelter frame.

and back end ratchets and tighten. 

NOTE:

 Loosen the ratchets if needed to remove 

excess strap and retighten. Loosen all ratchets if 

needed to reposition the main cover on the frame and 

then retighten the ratchets.
