INSTALL DIAGONAL BRACING 
 

The diagonal bracing is installed after the frame is 
squared and anchored and before the main cover is 
installed. 
 
Complete these steps to install the diagonal bracing for 
the shelter. 
 
1.  Locate one (1) five-foot (5') brace (105090) and 

place it into position as shown below. 

 

 

 

NOTE: 

Before attaching the brace to the rafter leg, verify 

that the rafter is plumb (front-to-back and side-to-side).  
 

 

2.  With the rafter straight up and down (plumb), secure 

the brace to the rafter using Tek screws as shown 
above. 

 
 
3.  Repeat the procedure for the remaining diagonal 

rafter braces. 

 
 

NOTE:

 To keep all diagonal bracing consistent, measure 

the location of the first brace and duplicate that 
measurement for the remaining braces. 
 
 
4.  After all diagonal bracing is installed and secured to 

the assembled frame, install the side panels. 

 

 

 

INSTALLING SIDE PANELS (if equipped) 

 
Side panels are available for the shelter and provide 
additional protection from the elements and other 
sources that could damage the contents of the shelter. If 
your shelter includes the optional side panels, these are 
installed 

before

 the main cover is installed. 

 
If you want to purchase the optional side panels for your 
shelter, contact Customer Service at 1.800.245.9881 for 
additional information. 
 
If you do not have side panels to install, continue with 
the Ratchet and Main Cover Installation procedures. 
 

WARNING:

 To prevent serious personal injury or 

property damage, DO NOT install the cover on a windy 
or stormy day. 
 
The following steps describe one way to install the side 
panels. 
 

NOTE:

 For longer shelters, additional help is needed to 

lift and hold the panels in position. 
 
1.  Locate the ball tie-downs and one side panel for the 

shelter. 

 
 
2.  Unfold the panel along the side of the shelter. 
  
 
3.  Beginning at one end of the shelter frame, lift the 

panel into position and attach the panel to the rafter 
leg as illustrated in the diagram that follows. 

 

 

 

Diagram shows a round pipe and illustrates how to use 
the ball tie-downs. Some shelter frames include square 
tubing. 
 
When installed properly, the panel will sit to the inside of 
the rafter leg tubing as shown above.
