A Word About Safety
Just as we want you to be pleased with your assembled canopy, we don
ʼ
t want you to get hurt in the
process of building and using it! Our comments and suggestions include the following:
•

ClearSpan
TM
Backyard Canopy is a
temporary structure
and is not designed as a
permanent structure.
• The structure is not meant to support ice or snow. As such, ClearSpan
TM
does not
guarantee this canopy if used in ice or snow.
•
ClearSpan
TM

not be responsible for damage caused by or to the canopy.
• Proper anchoring is the responsibility of the buyer and owner/user. Ask your ClearSpan

representative if you need assistance with anchoring choices. ClearSpan

be
responsible for damage caused by failure to properly anchor the canopy.
•
Do not
place or use any open flame or other heat source under or near the canopy.
• Use a portable GFCI when working with corded power tools.
• Never erect a canopy directly under power lines.
• Be careful not to drive anchors into buried power cables.
