document included with the shipment.
WARNING:
The anchor assembly is an integral part of
the shelter construction. Improper anchoring can cause
shelter instability and failure of the structure to perform
as designed. Failing to anchor the shelter properly
will
void the manufacturer's warranty
and may cause serious
injury and damage.
LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure. The following
suggestions and precautions will help you determine
whether your selected location is the best location.
•
Never erect the structure under power lines.
•
Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
present
before
preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
•
Location should be away from structures that could
cause snow to drift on or around the frame.
•
Do not position the shelter in a place where large
loads such as snow and ice, large tree branches, or
other overhead obstacles could fall.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site
is essential. Following the information below helps to
ensure the integrity of the structure.
•
A level site is required
. The site must be level to
properly and safely erect and anchor the structure.
•
For sites that are not concrete or gravel, placing
wood blocks or other suitable supports under
each
rafter leg and roof support pipes helps prevent the
pipes from sinking or working into the site.
•
Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from
areas surrounding the site should drain away from
the site to prevent damage to the site, the structure,
and contents of the structure.
WARNING:
The individuals assembling this structure
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who
are not familiar with recognized construction methods
and techniques must seek the help of a qualified
contractor.
