CARE AND CLEANING:

A tight cover ensures longer life and performance. Always maintain a tight cover. Loose fabric can accelerate
deterioration of cover fabric. Immediately remove any accumulated snow or ice from the roof structure with a
broom, mop or other soft-sided instrument. Use extreme caution when removing snow from cover- always
remove from outside the structure. DO NOT use hard-edged tools or instruments like rakes or shovels to
remove snow. This could result in punctures to the cover. DO NOT use bleach or harsh abrasive products to
clean the fabric cover. Cover is easily cleaned with mild soap and water.

5. SQUARING UP THE FRAME

A. Place frame in its nal location,
which needs to be as at and level
as possible.

These distances must be equal to
within 1".

C. Check that the front and rear of
the frame measures 12' 3" in width.

12' 3"

12' 3"

6. PROPERLY ANCHOR THE FRAME

WARNING: Serious injury to persons or property could result if cover is installed and
shelter is not anchored and is left unattended. Shelter MUST be securely anchored.

A. Anchors must be placed inside shelter at the corners of the shelter.
B. Insert a ¾" pipe or steel rod, through the eyelet of the auger and screw the anchor into the ground until the

eyelet is sticking out of the ground by 1-2" so it can be anchored to the legs.

If ground is too hard, dig a hole with a shovel or post hole tool. Optional: Fill with cement.

C. Wrap cable provided through the eyelet of the anchor and around the frame as shown below. Secure
the cable with the clamps provided.

NOTE:

15" Augers are for temporary use only!
For best results ShelterLogic recom­mends using our Easy Hooks (#10036
4-pack, #10035 6-pack, or #10038
8-pack) or 30" Augers (#10075 4-pack,
#10078 6-pack, or #10079 8-pack) for a

7. DOOR AND SOLID END PANEL INSTALLATION

A. Hold end panel at the top center with white inner surface facing inside of the shelter. Wrap the edges of the
fabric panel around the end rib.

B. Disconnect top rail from the end rib. Pass the top cross rail through the gap in the fabric, in between the
webbing and rib frame. Re-attach top cross rail to end rib. Repeat Step B for side cross rails.

C. At the bottom, where the webbing exits the pocket on each side of end panel, pull webbing to remove the
slack. Be careful not to pull the webbing through the other side of the webbing pocket.

D. Insert the “S”- Hook on ratchet into hole on the leg bend. Insert the webbing into the spindle of the ratchet
and pull tight. Wind the ratchet so that the webbing overlaps itself.

Position the end panel so that it is centered on the building before fully tightening the end panel.

E. Tighten ratchets, alternating from one side to the other, until the end panel is centered and tight.

Zipper Door Panels: Zippers must be closed when tightening end panel.

A. Lay the cover on the ground next to the frame with inside of the cover (the side with the pipe pockets) facing
down and the webbing on the front and rear of the corner of the building.

B. Pull cover over the frame, making sure to center cover on frame. There should be an equal amount of over-
hang at all four corners.

C. Insert the “S”- Hook on ratchet into hole on the leg bend. Insert the webbing into the spindle of the ratchet
and pull tight. Wind the ratchet so that the webbing overlaps itself.

D. Disassemble cover rails and slide through fabric pockets at each leg and reattach with clamps to each leg.
Repeat this on other side. Push down on cover rails to tighten cover, before tightening bolts completely.

E. Check and tighten Ratchets and Cover Rails monthly to ensure the cover is tight.
