ATTACH MAIN COVER

Gather the parts:
• Main cover (with conduits inserted)
• Ropes (provided by customer) or strap long enough to

reach over the frame

• Box cutter or utility knife

WARNING:

To prevent damage and injury, do not

leave the cover unattended if it has not been properly

secured.

The ropes can be used to temporarily keep

the cover from blowing off the frame.

Assembly Procedure
1. To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes or straps

to both ends of the cover conduit positioned

farthest

from the frame

. Wrap the rope around the conduit a few

times to prevent it from slipping off.

NOTE:

Depending on the length of the cover it may

be necessary to attach additional ropes to the cover

conduit between the end ropes by cutting a small

opening in the cover pocket and tying the rope around

the conduit. DO NOT cut through the main cover.

Cut

through the conduit pocket only.

2. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, toss the

ropes over the frame, and pull the cover into position.

Position one person at each rope.

Verify that the cover

pockets are to the inside of the building. This will be the

underside of the cover when it is pulled into position on

the frame.

3. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the

cover on the frame (end-to-end and side-to-side).

WARNING:

To prevent damage and injury, do not

leave the cover unattended if it has not been properly

secured.

4. Locate the straps at the front and rear hems and feed

the straps through the center slot in each end ratchet.

Operate the ratchet to wrap the strap onto the center

hub just enough to keep the strap secure.

NOTE:

Use lifts and additional assistants (if needed) to

help pull the cover up and over the frame.

Shelter shown may be a different style or length.

Cover

Conduit

Ropes

NOTE:

Do not tighten completely at this time. This

helps to temporarily secure the cover.

5. Tie the ropes (or straps), used to pull the cover into

position, to the frame to help hold the cover.

6. Move to the other side conduit of the cover and

temporarily secure that side of the cover to the frame.

NOTE:

Tie short pieces of rope to the ends of the side

conduit and directly across from the ropes or straps

tied to the other side conduit to temporarily secure

the cover to the frame. Once side straps are installed

and slightly tightened, the temporary ropes can be

removed.

7. Continue with the installation of the side straps.

Inside of Shelter

End (front or

back) of the

pony wall.
