SAFETY and PRE-ASSMEBLY CAUTIONS

READ PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY!

DO NOT ASSEMBLE OR DISASSEMBLE THE STRUCTURE ON A WINDY DAY

ONCE ASSEMBLED, IF HIGH WINDS ARE FORECAST WE RECOMMEND YOU REMOVE

THE COVER AND STORE IT UNTIL THE WINDY CONDITIONS HAVE PASSED

1. The cover is made of 3-layer polyethylene. Please do not use open flames and heated elements inside or
in close proximity to the product (including all types of stoves, gas heaters, gas lanterns, citronella torches

mosquito coils, etc.). The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with a flame or heat source. Any damage

to the cover as a result of using open flames or heating elements will void the Manufacturer’s warranty.

2. This is a temporary structure and is not recommended for use as a permanent structure.

3. Choose your shelter’s location carefully. Check for overhead utility lines, branches, etc. Do NOT install
near roofs or other structures that may shed snow or ice onto the shelter.

4. Inventory all parts before attempting installation.

5. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when assembling or disassembling this product.

6. The shelter must be Installed on a level surface.

7. Anchors must be used with all shelters. When erecting shelters, covers should NOT be installed on any
product until it has been properly anchored to the ground. Any shelter that is not anchored securely or
properly will blow away. Proper anchoring of the shelter and suitable soil conditions are the responsibility
of the customer.

8. Never start gas engines from any vehicle or other machinery within a closed shelter. Special ventilation
including an open door should be used at all times for these situations. Any work with paints, cleaning
products, etc, may require additional ventilation. When possible always avoid working with such chemicals
inside the shelter.

9. Do NOT use barbeque grills, smokers or other flammable equipment under or inside any shelter.

10.Do not cook, smoke, use flammable devices, refuel or store flammable materials in this shelter. Never use

or ignite an open flame in the shelter. Open flames must be kept a safe distance away from the shelter.

11. No snow accumulation should be allowed on the shelter. Monitor continuously for accumulated snow on

the roof. Snow or ice accumulation may cause your shelter to collapse. This shelter is NOT designed to
hold heavy snow or ice loads. Brush snow and ice off the roof top with a broom or mop. Failure to remove
snow will void the Manufacturer’s warranty.

12. Never clear the roof of snow or debris from inside the shelter. Doing so will increase the risk of collapse,

damage to property, personal injury and/or death.

13. Municipal by-laws must be verified prior to setting up this temporary shelter.

-2­1220_Version B_03_12_2018

CARE AND CLEANING

1. After assembly, periodically check the anchors, the tension of ratchets, buckles and all hardware
to ensure the stability of the shelter. Especially during the first few weeks it will be necessary
to tighten the cover and hardware. Always ensure that all covers and hardware are kept tightened.

2. Do NOT apply any “Protect & Shine” type products to the cover or other harsh abrasives including
bleach or cleansers. The cover can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water. If storing the
cover after cleaning, allow it to fully dry prior to storage.

3. Do NOT use the product for purposes or in an environment for which it is not intended.
(e.g. extreme cold, high wind conditions, extreme heat, heavy rainfall, etc.).

Please note that the Manufacturer has no control over the elements such as wind, heavy
snow or rain. The Manufacturer cannot control the location or soil conditions into which
the shelter is placed. The Manufacturer, without control of the elements, location or soil
conditions, cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the shelter to other items or
damages to the shelter itself.

Assembling the Frame

Visit Shelterit.com for installation Video

Diagram A below represents the completed Frame Assembly once steps 1-4 are completed.

Note: 2 or more people are required for safe and accurate assembly.

When assembling the frame HAND TIGHTEN the bolts for the cross rails where the squares are

shown in Diagram A. When putting the cover and doors on, they will need to be temporarily removed

and retightened.

-5­1220_Version B_03_12_2018

STEP 1. COLLECT YOUR TOOLS

Tools required to assemble the shelter include:

Safety Glasses ă 1 pair per participant
1-Adjustable wrench or box wrench
1-Rubber mallet (to be used to ensure all pipes are fully inserted)

Some of the tubes are
manufactured with square
dents on one end to act
as pressure points so the
tubes fit snug

1-Step stool or ladder ă shelter is 8’ tall
1-Hammer to set bolts

Assembly Tip: Using a hammer, tap the bolts to wedge them slightly into the opening. When tightening the
self-locking nuts, ensure to draw the bolt heads into the holes of the pipe so that the head of the bolt, when fully
tightened, is flush with the pipe. Failure to do so may cause bolts to tear the shelter’s cover.

STEP 2. ASSEMBLING THE ROOF

Layout the roof parts as shown in Diagram C. (See Diagram B for the part #s)
Connect all parts as shown in Diagram C to form the peak of the shelter frame. Use 2” bolts and
nuts to assemble the roof and the center truss brace rods together. Put truss rod on the round
head side of the bolt when connecting to the frame (see Diagram F).

Install all carriage bolts with nuts facing into the center, inside of the frame to ensure the
cover does not tear.

STEP 4. ATTACHING THE UPRIGHT LEGS

a. There are 4 corner legs and 8 middle legs. Assemble the 4 corner leg tubes first. (Diagram H)
b. Attaching the upright legs - Lift one side of the shelter while the other side remains resting on the
ground
c. Have your 2” bolts ready, insert the corner legs and center legs as shown in (Diagram E, H, L)
d. Once the legs are attached, connect the bottom of the X braces to the upright legs with a 2” bolt
and washer (nuts facing inside) (Diagram L)
e. Connect the bottom cross rails and clamps, HAND TIGHT, to the uprights.
Repeat the process for the other side of the shelter. See Diagram E, H, L
f. Once the frame is up, install the center steel foot plates to the middle upright legs. (Diagram L)
We recommend installing the temporary anchors, before installing the cover and doors.

STEP 8: Square and Anchoring the Shelter

Ensure the frame is in the  nal desired location.

Check the measurement width in the front and back of the shelter.

Take a diagonal measurement, cross-corner to cross-corner. When these two measurements are equal the shelter is

square. If not equal, tap the corner leg of the longer measurement with the rubber mallet, in the direction of the

diagonally opposite leg to push (decrease) the length of the distance. Repeat (always taping against the longer

measure) until both diagonals are equal.

Once equal, check the width measurements again to ensure all are correct

Next, at the curved feet of the shelter install

anchors, by screwing the Removable Anchors #

16 in to the ground and to the inside of the

shelter.

Secure with Cable #25 and Cable Clamp #26 as

shown in Diagram M below.
