ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to assembling this shelter, please read anchoring
precautions and instructions included in the
MUST READ
document.
You must anchor the building after frame is
assembled and before cover installation.
WARNING:
The anchor assembly is an integral part of
shelter construction. Improper anchoring may cause
shelter instability and structure failure. Failing to anchor
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
assembly.
The following suggestions and precautions help determine
whether the selected location is the best location.
• Never erect structure under power lines.
• Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
present
before
preparing site or anchoring structure.
• Location should be away from structures that could
cause snow to drift on or around building.
• Do not position shelter 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. The following site characteristics help ensure
integrity of the structure.
• A level site is required to properly and safely erect and
anchor the frame.
• Drainage: Water draining off structure and from areas
surrounding the site should drain away from site to
prevent site and structure damage, and to better
protect 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.
