MAINTEANCE AND CARE 

 

Annually or more often, the unit should be completely 
inspected internally and externally to make certain the 
unit remains properly installed and secured.  Particular 
attention should be paid to: 

 

Hardware – check all carriage bolts and hardware 
connectors to be certain they are in place and tightened. 

 

Anchors – during normal weather trends, the unit will 
strain against the anchors under windy conditions.  
Anchor hardware connection to frame members should 
be maintained tight and depth of anchors should be 
checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set. 

 

Snow Accumulation – All snow accumulation on the 
main cover should be removed as soon as possible.  
Tap the main cover from the inside with a broom or soft 
brush to clear cover.  Unit is not designed for any 
amount of accumulated snow or ice.  Warrantee does 
NOT cover damage due to snow accumulation. 

 

Main Cover Lacing – the poly rope that secures the main 
cover to the bottom rail of the frame assembly should be 
checked, and adjusted as needed.  The tension on the 
main cover should be uniform from end to end and side 
to side.  Rope ends must be tied off onto the frame 
members at the ends on each side. 

 

Turnbuckle Adjustment – during normal wind conditions 
and load, the doors and main cover adjustment points at 
the turnbuckle should be checked and tightened as 
necessary.  The turnbuckles should be neither 
completely extended nor taken up, so that turnbuckle 
should be tight when in the mid range of overall 
adjustment.  If necessary, readjust rope tie off on 
turnbuckle as needed to tighten or loosen as needed. 

 

Cleaning – cover and doors can be cleaned with a 
mixture of light detergent and water.  A soft bristle brush 
with the mixture can be used to loosen any hard dirt, 
mold, or buildup on the cover.  After cleansing, the cover 
should be rinsed thoroughly to avoid any chemical 
reaction from residual detergent.  Allowing dirt and 
debris to sit on cover over an extended time will damage 
cover irreparably. 

 

Severe Weather – in preparation for inclement weather, 
completely secure the doors on both ends of your Rhino 
Shelter portable building.  Allowing wind to enter either 
end lifts the building and puts undue stress on the 
anchoring system.  This also shortens the life of the 
doors, zippers, and main cover.   

 

Door Operation – 

Every time

 doors are put down the 

zipper must be pulled down completely, and the snap 
buckles 

MUST

 be put together and adjusted.  Failure to 

do so will cause door zipper to fail prematurely.  Door 
area is so large that wind can pull zipper apart if the 
snap buckles are not adjusted to take the stress of wind.
